Okay I might be beating a dead horse heresorry.gif

But I'd like to know if there are any flatbed companies (southeast regional) hiring out of northwest florida. (Besides McElroy) that will get you home every weekend. I need at least a day a week to spend with my girlfriend. But they have to pay almost as good as McElroy too. .48 cpm fresh out of school....

P.s. I guess it doesn't HAVE to be flatbed but is preferred.

Thanks

Regional:

Regional Route

Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.

CPM:

Cents Per Mile

Drivers are often paid by the mile and it's given in cents per mile, or cpm.

Try Cypress, or Gypsum.

Cypress is in Florida, I think. Gypsum is based out of NY, but have a sizeable SE Regional division.

Maverick also runs in the South East.

Just exploring options brother... More than one way to skin a cat right?

It looks like TMC hires out of some parts of Northern Florida. They pay percentage, not mileage, but try not to get caught up on that. You'll likely make similar money at TMC as you would at McElroy in the long run.
