    Tucson im not sure, theres a container company in phx, duncan and sons. They ru, back and forth from phx to la.. Heard good things about them... White mountain trucking pulls flats out of phx, i believe they are southwest region... Chemical transport inc (cti) pulls hazmat tankers, they do alot of stuff in the copper mines... Tucson is a tough area , ur probably limited to local work, check craigslist and indeed

    Hey, look someone from Tucson!

    Congratulations on not being in Phoenix.

    @Chinatown maybe will chime in with some options he did in another thread. A thread about relocating if you want to search for it. If I recall he listed 3 or 4.

    Let me throw up the Chinatown symbol.

    I'm sure he'll stop by now. The signal has been sent.

    Good luck, til then...look for that thread on relocating. Besides all the jokes on Phoenix there is some info in there about Tucson companies.

    Danny Herman Trucking runs through Tucson a lot. They run mostly below I-40 with lots of I-10 & I-8 freight lanes. This would be a good choice for OTR driving. Two terminals in Southern California; Calexico and some other place.
