I started a thread last night with a completely sarcastic job offer contained within. That was only meant to grab your attention and then I was going to get serious in a second post. It kind of backfired on me as the post went into moderation and didnt get reviewed until after I went to bed. For any of you that may have took offense, I apologize. That was not my intent.

I do seriously have a truck in need of a good, experienced driver. I just bought another truck to expand my fleet. I am a small fleet owner leased to a mid sized carrier. That does not mean that I can hire just anybody though, sorry. You must have a good MVR and criminal history. You MUST either live in the midwest(MN,IA,IL), the Atlanta or North Georgia area, or on the I-24 corridor between these two areas. Those who are successful with the company that I am leased to usually stay out for 3 or 4 weeks at a time and then take a decent amount of time off. If you live in the area(s) that I described, you may also get through the house while under a load during that period of time as well.

The company operates on a load choice type dispatch system, thus you have non-forced dispatch even for a company driver. We run mainly from the midwest to the southeast and back, and the midwest to the west coast(mostly Southern California) and back. You are paid through the carrier that I am leased to. They have a payroll department that handles driver payroll on behalf of the fleet owners. This gives you piece of mind in knowing that you will get paid BEFORE I ever see a dime of my money. This also means that you will be paid as an employee with taxes withheld and receive a w2 at the end of the year and not a 1099. I will openly admit that the base pay is a little bit on the low side, but with automatic productivity bonuses and fuel bonuses, you have the potential to make a decent wage.

I refuse to sugar coat anything. If you need weekend hometime, sorry, but I can't help you. If you need a fast, shiny large car to drive, once again, sorry but I can't help you. The only thing unique that I really have to offer is respect, and freedom. As long as you run a reasonable number of miles, don't tear up my equipment, and have a professional attitude and are reliable, I will allow you to run the truck as if you were the owner operator leased to the company with no interferance whatsoever from me.

I can and am willing to put you in contact with both the carrier I am leased to as well as a current driver who can verify the previously stated information.

If you are interested, please contact me via PM on this website. If you don't have enough posts to PM me, you can PM any moderator and ask them to forward a PM to me, which they will gladly do.

It went into moderation? I can't believe someone took it seriously. I kinda figured you were leading up to something since you're not an erratic poster. So certainly no offense here; in fact, it made me smile.

Also an amazing photographer. Want to see, just ask.

We actually do run a good bit of loads to Phoenix. The carrier that I am leased to tightened up the hiring area pretty tight about 6 months ago. They supposedly did this so that they could reduce deadhead and get people home easier. Truth be known, I couldnt get hired on right now if I were a new applicant due to where I live.

Does this mean your DRIVER LICENSE has to reflect you live in one of the HIRING areas.... or can you just have an ADDRESS in the HIRING area ? Hometime matters to me none.......

So, would they hire me out here?

Nop,sorry. They pretty much only hire from the areas that I listed in the first post of this thread.
