I spoke with Crete today and they are finishing my background which I thought would've been done by now but with my construction history I can understand why it's taking them so long to research everything. I had a ton of jobs from 06-09 which I'm not proud of but just how the hammer hit. I went through a school.

So I guess within the next couple days I should officially know if I'm on...2 other students from my class are goin there and this was my top job for all the places I applied... Or I'm gettin hazmat and tanker and working locally

Ok it was a bit of an exaggeration but I'd like to get the most miles possible and the least time off... Some people like to work and stay busy and drive. I've driven all over thi country figured I should get paid for it... And obviously different due to such a large vehicle but I learn quick and will not be the ### drivin like a nut like you see some do.

My standard answer for newbies..

During the first year expect little, settle for less, be happy with almost nothing, know it will get better

Good luck to you!

Welcome to the jungle.

Well put and thanks. Thinking I'm gonna get hazmat and tanker before I know what's truly out there as well... I know some local companies that hire out of the school I went to so we will see.

How do I avoid that then? Good point but I don't know how to go about much more as I'm new to this business.
