    Well I spoke with a swift investigation lady about my misdemeanor back in 2005 , (non drug /alcohol/non violence related) , but as soon as she came on the line she sounded like she was not having a good day ,got all paranoid about someone else being on the line cuzz i bumped my phone and it beeped a couple of times , sure enough she got kinda rude and after the call ended the recruiter call me in about 5 min saying that they had denied my application ... i guess i just got rejected by the company i wanted to work for the least, but it still sucks :biggrin_25523: ...

    I know you have to start somewhere but if I were you I'd keep looking ! .15 CPM starvation pay! If you have nothing else go for the hourly gig #$13.50 but 3-5 hr away, is that commute? If it's local and you can haul water for that do it and keep your eyes open for something better BUT DON'T START DRIVING A STRIGHT TRUCK! If you do most OTR co will not count that as experience and you may have to go thru a refresher course
    There are Co. out there that pay $500 a week while training and .3? something after training for less than 1 year exp. You just have to keep looking BOL
