    Looking to get with a company that does basically Drop & Hook runs. Doesnt have to be a "big" name company either. Thanks!

    The best way to drop and hook 100% of the time is be a power only owner operator .

    I don't know of or even think I have ever heard of a 100% drop and hook freight outfit that isn't a line haul type set up. You know like fedex ups yellow big R and the likes .

    There might be some one that does store drop and hooks but I have not heard of any one that does it 100% .

    Just because I am unaware of any does not mean that there are none out there by any means!!

    Their hard to get into, but I believe walmart has a huge amount of D&H but im not sure if its 100% or not. I know the run my uncle was on was mostly D&H.

    When I drove for JB hunt back in 1994 I did mainly drop and hooks some deliveries but most of the time I D&H. I talked with JBH recruiter about it and was told they really dont do that anymore. There was another company out in Ill. that did 98% D&H but cant remember the company name.
