My son-in-law applied to them and they said anywhere from 30 to 32 cents per mile depending on the area of the country he was willing to take. He said thanks but no thanks.
Got 6 months exp. Time for a better job yet?

Is this 6 months including your training, or 6 months solo?

Job hopping isn't the big issue that people would have you believe. Especially if you are moving from a company that pulls dry van to flatbed or tanker. As long as you don't have a lot of I worked here for a week and quit, then worked here a month and quit you will be fine. Especially if your work history before driving is solid. Driving is a different animal profession wise. There don't seem to be a lot of companies that truly want to keep drivers until they retire. There are some though.
Also ignoring a companies experience requirements is not likely going to work. Trust me I've tried. I have 8 months experience and I have been told personally by the local company I work for that on the day I hit 12 months I'm hired. It's an insurance thing. I'm not saying companies never make exceptions on experience, but I am saying that barring some huge freight increase it ain't likely. Note: Smaller family type carriers might be more likely to make exceptions I've not applied to any around me because they all run paper logs. -
