Hi, I'm Daniel. I'll try to keep this as short as possible.. I have a CDL with 1 yr 9 mos verifiable exp over the past 7 years but NONE that's verifiable within the past 5 yrs. I have Tankers, Doubles/Triples endorsements (no hazmat, I let it go a few years ago. But I don't mind getting it if necessary)
I live in the Dallas/Ft Worth area and I'm looking for anything that has good pay (around $1000/wk) and be home every week (Eg: Terminal to terminal, line-haul, regional, dedicated, LTL, or even local) I'm trying to avoid OTR because I know it fluctuates in both time off, miles, and pay with most companies. However, I don't mind putting in some OTR with a company that's willing to switch me over after about 6 months or so.
I also don't mind the following: having to retrain/ride with a trainer, etc. Driving flatbed, reefer, dry van, tanker, intermodel, etc. And I don't really care what I'm hauling or where I'm hauling to.. I'd rather not drive in NYC or North East if preventable, but I'm willing to do what I have to do if it meets my criteria.
I've already called over 20 companies and looked into about a dozen more, but I'm trying to look under as many rocks as possible. I know my location is a good one, I've heard this over and over when calling these companies. It's just a matter of finding the little guys, too and researching as many as I can to make sure I have the right one for me.
I appreciate your time and answers. I'm sorry it was so long.. just wanted to give as much info as possible to give everyone a well-rounded view of what is involved.
Thanks again,
Daniel
Looking for a company that can accommodate my needs
