    Hi.
    My wife was offered a job in Colorado Springs in the last few days. If we move are there any trucking companies that are either locally owned or have terminals there? Or are most in Denver. Pull dry van now for a small region company in SD, but have pulled reefer before. 19 years of experience in total. Thank you

    Lafarge may have something. They use tankers and cement trucks and other types of trucking.
    "Born of the pioneering activities of our parent LafargeHolcim in the area of co-processing in the 1970s and 1980s, Geocycle today is a trusted brand under the umbrella of the world's largest cement manufacturer.

    I've hauled many loads of dry bulk cement in tankers for Lafarge/Holcium and they are good people to deal with.

    Denver is a hot hot hot hot market for driver's. There are tons of driving jobs. tons. Even in the springs (which you'll learn to hate cuz it was laid out by a plate of spaghetti on a map and morons set the lights).

    I grew up in Colorado springs and I can't imagine a more apt description of the city's layout.

    Then you have 2 lanes and 5 exits for 20 miles but somehow it seems to go from 75 mph to 25 for no reason at all heading to Castlerock. Several times too.
