    After getting excited about a company, found it does not truck to west coast. :(

    What company hires solo company drivers for west coast states or south west states?

    Schnieder,Marten, Central Ref,Swift, and most of the megacarriers have a Western regional (11 western states). Earl Henderson Trucking has a yard in Modesto,Ca. I don't know about small to mid-sized companies,but it wouldn't surprise if there is quite a few.
     
    Squirel Thanks this.
