Thank you all for your advice and words of wisdom, especially about the PODS, I never even thought of that. And to answer the last comment, yes we want to work for a different company, but mostly it's cause we want to move out of Iowa. We've had allot of heartbreak here and want to move somewhere new and get a fresh start.

Hi there! Here's my dilemma... Me and my husband both drive truck for a local home daily trucking company here in Iowa... and we hate it! What we really want to do is move out of Iowa and drive truck, preferably team but open for other options, in either Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada.. Basically anywhere but the Midwest. We don't really have any money saved up and we don't make hardly anything where we work to even be able to save up. Does anyone know of any trucking companies who offer relocation benefits or even good advice or guidance on how to accomplish this dream of ours? I know it's a pretty open and broad question, but any words of wisdom or direction would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!!

Hi there! ! I'm new to the trucking industry and landed my first job with CRST. I was out with my lead doing my 28 day stretch of OTR training. Two weeks into my training I was driving along interstate 80 in Nevada when the wind started in and ended up tipping my truck onto the driver side and sliding me across the highway off onto the shoulder. I only had bruises and minor scratches but my eyeglasses, cell phone, laptop and various other things of mine were destroyed. I have asked my DM and HR if I get compensated for my belongings or if I need to file a claim and nobody will give me a straight answer. I'm hoping someone on here will be able to lead me in the right direction. Thank you in advance! !
