    you might like to check Pride Transport based in SLC. They hire western 11 drivers from CA. They have multiple drop yards in CA. You might even want to just do OTR - lots of CA to NJ etc but no real NE driving (or SE either).

    Make sure to check craigslist. The best regional home every week jobs are there.

    I am seeing home weekly dedicated routes paying equal to or more vs. OTR regional in my market and with experience required starting at 6 months not always 12..

    Clist is not best for all types of jobs but for trucking it is a good fit.

    Scroll down through the listings for driving jobs. Most of the openings are in northern California but the lumber trucks and the Windows Division trucks travel.
    The pay isn't the greatest but it's decent. They have one of the best benefit packages there is.
     
    IluvCATS Thanks this.

    My buddy drives for TImber Products flatbed trucking and he’s quite happy. He also lives in California. They are out of Central Point, OR but he’s mostly going up and down I-5 and home all the time.

    I drive for Pride, I really like them.
    I used to drive for Andrus out of Saint George, Utah. They are 11 western, they treated me pretty good too.
