If you don't have a resume, a simple rundown of your MVR, DAC report, driving experience, work history, any details that you feel would benefit you is fine.

I appreciate it.

It was a bit complicated; the situation. It ended up not being as bad as I thought it might be.

I have a driver chosen but there is no telling whether he will actually show up or not. I will keep you posted if anything changes.

It can be done.

When my brother and I had our company in the new company audit the guy went over a set of my logs. And over them again, and yet a third time. Finally he gave up with the comment "damn, this driver is good".


I've been schooled by the DOT men themselves. lol

California went over 30 days of mine (loose leaf). All I could do was smile. It was there, and they looked...calculator in hand.

PCMiler along with any good street level mapping software, makes you look like a genious. Especially when you need to find an hour or two

I'm not sure how much your DOT schooling cost Brickman, but mine was $550 and 3 days 8 hours for the first lesson, and 48 hours for the next lesson.

Lessons were cheaper in the 80's LOL

I just rain across your post this morning. I have hopper exp. Worked for Walpole out of Fl paid by the load. I do need a job and have to bite my lip after reading your situation your in due to a bad deal. I do have to wonder why a driver did that to start with...hum!? Was it them or your bad deal? Who knows..... Honest as bad as some of us need work and are thinking of your offer. I almost have to say it would be better to RUN FOR THE HILLS! Since it seems your already in debt. Your bad deal with the other driver should not have to affect a new driver. If you honestly don't have funds to handle the problem you should think of keeping it parked and not dragging a already disparate starving driver into your problems. Its just not right. I like others do appreciate you being honest with us. Just food for though no hard feelings....

I would say that the opposite is happening. The driver I had chose just took another job tonight. Apparently "meet you tomorrow morning" means "I'm taking the job in case my other applications don't get picked up." He got a call, I guess. Here kitty kitty kitty.... find a new driver. Hence, despite "filling the seat" unofficially, I knew better then to say the job is not available. Things happen, and there is no reason to say I'm the boy that cried wolf because 3 or 4 of the 29 (and counting...) applicants are huddled in this thread. I'm sorry, there is only one seat available. Most people would not call it an experiment if only one driver gets the job. I no longer can accept a team.

Because of the fact that my truck was abandoned and left for dead in an undisclosed location, while burning thousands- yes thousands in fuel before officially quitting...right after paying $3500 in sales tax and registration fees, and $3,500 in repairs over 2 months, stealing $430 from the fuel card, I can't write any outrageous checks.

My company needs a driver that can drive for $250/week for up to 8 weeks. After that, $1,000+/week pay is expected, based on a 20% of Gross Pay Scale.

Much has changed over the last week that the job was first offered, and I'm either finding a driver who can tough it out with me after being wronged by an unscrupulous employee, or the job disappears. There will be no false promises, this is all I can guarantee: A stable, weekly paycheck with no excuses. My number can be left on speed dial to answer your every beck and whim out on the road. You'll actually have the owner of the truck in your corner, rather than some recruiter that gets a commission with every driver being replaced. Job security. You won't be "laid off due to budget cuts" or held back via DAC from pursuing other companies. I'm honest, and that might be a problem because there are all too many companies making a killing decieving drivers into scam lease options and phony "high mileage" plans that go bunk. If you want something real, and your sick and tired of being strung along as a number in a corporate game, give me a call.

I have no problem letting the payments slide and giving the truck to the bank. The real shame is if there is a driver that would benefit from the job, that they might not speak up. Hopefully, I find an honest driver who just needs a fresh start. Those of us who are of little means need to be honest with ourselves as we collect our unemployment checks. We can pull ourselves up by the bootstraps, or we can pray that there is someone greater who will do things for us that we simply refuse to do for ourselves.

12 days left and ticking...
