    I'd suggest moving out of state, trucking in California is an absolute nightmare. I think most OTR drivers on this forum would agree it's a total sh!thole of a state for any truck driver to have to experience.

    If I had no experience .. and had to choose a california company ... I would choose Gordon Trucking ... if I had to make that choice :)

    Well ... for van. For tanker or flatbed you will have to wait for someone elses opinion.

    Hey, that's an idea! Check out Gordon for sure. Their buying 400 new trucks a year for the next 3 years. I know for a fact their trying to go to e-logs and new trucks are already equipped so I'd consider that in your decision.

    Trimac Transportation is one of the better tanker companies that runs some LG gas out of CA.

    Thanks guys! I really do appreciate your feedback! Especially considering I've seen quite a bit of negative posts! It's great to see that there is hope in this industry!:biggrin_25519:

    California is the best state to truck in.

    12 & 16, CHP has always been very professional with me, nice scenery & not much snow.

    Every major carrier has a presence in the state, tons of small to mid size carriers & Bakersfield is not a bad place to be for a driver.

    What kind of job are you looking for?

    AdamBarnhart,

    Can I PM you? (Or you can certainly PM me) with those "other" couple of places to drive for in California also? I am new and finishing up my training and starting to look for a good firm, I live near San Jose, CA.

    Thanks in advance,

    John aka Mrktwiz
