    Same with any job, every DOT regulated job goes back 10 years.

    I know where i'm at we don't accept walk-in applicants. There have been a few, but we tell them the only way is to do it online.
    I would apply to all the LTL's nearby.. i applied to 4 at once and got 1, and thats with no experience.

    Almost 7 months. Home situations may require me being here. I am prepared to go OTR one more year if that's what it takes. I may go dedicated with Swift too. Always exploring the options.

    Heck, Conway LTL will hire right out of school? I might be a notch or 2 ahead.

    Got my app in last Friday. I checked the boxes for notification about jobs and also a rejection letter if they don't want me.

    Have you tried others in your area? Fedex?

    Right now I only have 7 months experience that counts. FedEx is a thought. So is UPS.

    I have talked to a guy that has 20 trucks with FedEx ground. Not what I want to do. Probably no benefits.

    I want to get off the road.

    We done the same thing. Went to careers and truckload submitted app. Called to verify they got it and found out it did not go thru. They took app over the phone. Can give the number but when you call have all info in hand. We start Orentation on the 20th. Hope to see ya there..
