Well, I called several companies today to see if they could give me a job:

Roehl-I called them and they said that they couldn't hire me because my time being away from driving was longer than my time driving. They won't take you as a student unless you are fresh from school.

Taylor Express-A local carrier near where I live. They wouldn't answer the phones. It has been that way since I tried calling last week.

PTL-Basically they told me the same thing as ...

As I stated in my last blog post, I have been trying to get back into trucking after a 2 and a half year hiatus. So, far the companies that I have called have said that I need to have experience.

Hello
I Have a question on lumper taxes. The company that I work for alows me to lump my own loads at the rate that the lumper service wants. my boss then adds it to my check and I pay the taxes on the money.

Is this right???
