DESPERATE!!!

GO TO TEXAS!!!!!!!! Check out Midland/Odessa/San Antonio, etc. They are starting newbs @ $17. p/hr and you'll work over 80 hours a week hauling sand/water. The oil companies are not going anywhere anytime soon and the exp you'll get will pay off huge if you want to work in Tankers. Texas is just like Florida as far as the weather goes. Hot, humid, and crazy at times!! I hope this helps!!

 

To have doctor appointments every 29 days, will make just about ANY trucking job impossible for you to get started with. You will need a more "localized" job, so try some of the other LTL companies near you. There is also construction jobs you can try. You can also try say for instance, warehouses that NEED yard jockeys with the class A. Try any food warehouse in the area.

As far as class B experience to be used for class A time?? Forgedaboudit. B is B and A is A.

Further, if you need to go to the doctor that often, you may find getting health insurance difficult as well, and you may be limited for a year or two until the benefits kick in. If you have something that severe of a condition, that IS REQUIRING YOU to see your doctor, every so often, you may not be able to perform any class A job. The trucking company doctors can and WILL give you a difficult time in getting your health card.

He has said he has appointments every 29 days, or did you not see that?? Which means, he cannot go to Texas. Please read the posts.

 

Sounds like you're pretty much screwed for trucking unless your doctor will let you reschedule.I'm curious or should I say nosey,lol what is so important about these doctor appts?Imean every 29 days?

 

I am of the thinking, these are of a very important appointments for a life altering illness.

For someone to have to go so regularly suggests this to me, as this just isn't "the normal" amount of times a person NEEDS to go to a doctor.

 

Knight has a terminal in Lakeland. I believe Roehl has a terminal in Ocala.

Any Associated Grocers terminals down that way?

You're really going to have to watch who you sign up with to make absolutely sure you make it back in time for your appointments each month. I can see most carriers saying "no problem"... then you find yourself stuck halfway across the country the day before your appointments because your schedule didn't work out as planned. Happens all the time in OTR.

 

If its that bad..wonder how he got a medical card...

 

the pill addicts in my family have standing appoinments every 29 days......I'm just saying

 

That's right.

Half way across the country.

Not too many companies will cater to such a schedule for the driver, as the freight DICTATES where the driver goes.

 

ya my mom has important appts every month that she must go.But if this person has to be home every 29 days,who says companies will still get him home.You know how undependable they can be.
