About What are some good trucking companies to work for

What are some good trucking companies to work for?
My husband has had his CDL for 6 years. We are looking for a new comany to go with, because local trucking around here doesn't pay worth anything, we live in New Mexico. We were thinking about ABF or Groendyke. We'd love to move so that my husband COULD work local, as like I said, there's nothing local here in Portales that pays worth anything. We were thinking about a move to Albuquerque or Lubbock, which is only a few hours from here... does anyone have any suggestions? We don't want to move east or too far north, we want to stay around the Midwest-West-Southwest part of the country. Like I said, we don't mind moving if there's a good company to work for out there... just needing some suggestions. We don't want Swift, Werner or anything (the huge companies) like that, they don't let you come home as often as they claim, the loads are cheap paying and you get stuck under loads for several days and we never could make enough money to pay the bills, been there, done that. :-) Thanks!

have you check www.thetruckersreport.com They have company listing with info on the good, bad and ugle from the drivers point of view. Good luck in finding a company that is all that.

ABF. My dad works for that company, and he's always proud of the fact that his company does so well in terms of its employees' safety. I don't think I've ever once heard him complain about the actual company itself...he's been there since his mid-20's, and he's now nearly 60.
