Most truck stops have repair services and PTL always uses them.
Hard Worker Thanks this. -
Basically that's what I'm currently doing, looking into companies that are 'just bad enough' to hire me. Gotta do my 6 months to get back in with a good company though, has been my attitude. Still want the best possible situation I can find. I don't know much about straight trucks, and I like driving long distances, so I might not enjoy the local thing. I used to deliver flowers locally for years before upgrading to big trucks. I love the long open road. -
If you google 'trucking companies' you'll find a couple sites that list virtually every company in your state. You could cold call them, make some contacts. Does Schneider want OTR? Would they accept you back with a local gig? A non-OTR gig? Six months is not that long. And the damage you could put on your CDL with a bottom feeder would last a long, long time.
I'm confident you'll find something. You have a base to build from. That you've been accepted by multiple companies shows that carriers recognize that, too.
If your 'minor incidents' did not involve other vehicles, I'd contact HireRight and see if I could get that changed. Probably try anyway. Getting some acceptable-to-Schneider and going back to Schneider would be a plum. (IMO) -

Here's the link to Big M rather unusual CSA: http://ai.fmcsa.dot.gov/SMS/Data/carrier.aspx?enc=/6dnF5bIVVcxKz5/vB4KFw==
Is that the right Big M? Their training webinars look great! Wonder if they'd open that up to you as a possible hire? Of course, CRE has a great looking web site, too. Big M shows 240 trucks, 288 drivers.
That Driver Safety score, though. Without that, company looks great. 13% Vehicle Maintenance. Better than Gordon!
/A real plus that Schneider would hire you 'subject to review'. Outfits do that for drivers that quit, for Pete's sake. I'm thinking you're gonna be fine. And small, safe companies are good. I don't consider 240 trucks small. I'm thinking under 100.Last edited: Nov 3, 2013
