I will say this though, If you can work for Roehl, I would not even consider US Express. Roehl was a pretty decent outfit for an otr gig.
Roehl was pretty strict on policies and did not have the fanciest trucks but, it is a great place to start out. They pay well and get you home when they say they will. I ran Northeast regional flatbed at the time. You were supposed to be home every weekend. I was home a night or two during the week as well.

They preach safety and actually practice what they preach. They allow you to run a legal log, keep good tread on tires, and never gave me any crap the few times I shut down due to weather.

Took me till my 4th full year at Conway to make as much as I did in my best year at Roehl.
