The West Coast in general is going into decay.... City folks telling Country folks how to live.... because they’ve got the numbers.

Several drivers on this forum have asked about that. They want to run OTR, but the only jobs for new cdl school grads are box trucks, local or intrastate moves.HiramKingWilliams Thanks this. -

They will never say that they didn't hire you because of your age, but that's why.
Flatbed is hard physical labor. They use a predictive software in their hiring process that tracks the success of new drivers, experienced drivers, old drivers, young drivers, male and female drivers. Their software algorithms say that middle age guys are a bad bet. You'll throw your back out, fall off the truck, screw your knees up or whatever and end up on the walking wounded list....being just another workman's comp liability.
They do make exceptions for middle-aged guys with a lot of experience, or possibly if you are a construction worker or something that requires even more physical labor, but the exceptions are few and far between.hidden1 Thanks this. -
Over the past several weeks I've emailed the recruiter I initially talked to and I get no response.
That's fine.
Upon further consideration I'm seeing that TMC might not be the best option for me. Do I really wanna do flatbed? No. I really want to drive food-grade tanker.
Right now I'm looking seriously into Wilson Logistics out of Missoula; they seem to have top training, too, which obviously is a priority.
Thoughts on Wilson? -
