    Here's what's going to happen. You will be required to take a refresher course for $3k ... but hey CRE will be happy to finance it for you.

    Then you will go out with a Phase 1 trainer for a month at minimum pay. Then 2 months Phase 2 at $.11 a mile. During that time you will be offered the opportunity to lease and make the big bucks.

    If you don't lease ... well there aren't any local openings at the moment. But you can go company OTR until there is a local opening ... well as soon as a truck becomes available. In the meantime if you want to lease, there is a truck available right now.

    Get the picture?

    Thanks everyone for your comments. I'd better go to bed ..lol
    But one last response.


    No kidding, why did I do that...lol
    My company, the oldest family owned paper company in the US sold / got bought out and my parent's house which was for sale sold just a week after. My sister had lived here for 8 years before and my parents wanted to move here to retire. My dad's side was hear for 20+ years also. My mom more then anyone wanted to move here, as my Dad was kind of not sure. So long story short, I wanted to be with my family and since I was out of work, I thought why not look for work here. Trust me, NOTHING is as good as Chicago as far as jobs. You have everything there. I never had to worry about work in Chicago or the suburbs.
    Can you believe there are no Walleye fish in California. The best eating fish in the world and there are none here. WTF, most people hear have never even heard of Walleye. Between the screwy laws, and passive mentality of citizens who let their government rape them, I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. It is a beautiful state, beautiful girls, for those who have lots of money, but that's all I'll say about it. I think it's a harder life out here for the common working class, not to mention the sun here will cook you to death. Very powerful here.

    It's going to get worse in California; they're raising the minimum wage to over $15.00 hr. This means prices for everything will go up. This is just a scam to move many people off the food stamp and other welfare programs for the working poor. That $15.00 + an hr. will disqualify many people. Those people jumping up and down and cheering for this new minimum wage are in for a rude awakening.

    It takes time but you'll find something.You may have to start at the bottom and work your way up since u don't have any exp driving big rigs.OTR isn't bad if u can get in with the right company.England shouldn't even be on your list of choices.We've all had to start at the bottom.I did otr for 9 yrs.If it wasn't for my dads health and my boyfriend wants me home I would be going back OTR.

    That crap is really going into effect? Last time I watched/read any news about this it was shot down and laughed about for good reason.

    Dude!
    Go straight to ODFL on Monday, ask for William Dubra head of safety, and ask him where you might stand.

    They're on Willow off Slover off Riverside, south of 10.

    I don't normally do that.

    Tell him we sent you. User name is our real names.

    Good luck.

    As Chinatown will tell you ignore 'experience needed' - and good luck - and RUN FROM CR ENGLAND.

    ODFL is a nice job. They are one of select few for a back up plan and already was vetted.
