Looking for someone to train me

Not sure where to begin. I recently graduated Tri-State semi driver training. I have my class A CDL with all endorsements including haz-mat. Due to my lack of ORT, and a few minor MVR set backs which are 2 speed violations and an accident, non-commercial, these were prior to my cdl, I am having difficulty landing a job. I was wondering if it is possible to get my training through an owner/operator. I would be willing to accept training pay of $400/wk. if it is a possibility to get verifiable ORT this way. I wasn't sure how it works with insurance companies to have someone drive as a trainee so, that would be a consideration as well. I am a 38yr. old, clean-cut, non-smoker drug-free with great attitude and work ethics who just needs someone to give me a chance. I realy would love someone to teach me the way. If you have any other advise, please feel free to share.
Sincerely, Kevdog

 

thnx, pharmphail im just kinda looking for advice or any other options out there.. kinda frustrating if ya know what I mean!!!! Im not looking to get rich I just need a job!! I had shoulder surgery in October. rehabed that bad boy, now looking for work. wife has been maintaining the bills and evrything but im about to be in a pickle soon. I had my child support stoped while I was out for surgery and it resumes in March. Last thing I want is them hanging me by my ^%$$#. Every company tells me the could work with my MVR if I had some exsperiance. Well how the hell am I to get it if no one will just give me a chance.

 

I tell you what IT SUCKED!!!! only the 1st 2 days did. I had a torn rotator cuff torn labral tendon and 3 screws put in my R shoulder. Had surgery October 24/2008, Doc said I was gonna be out for 6mnths. Almost but I think being in pretty good shape helped. I worked out every day for about 1-2 hours untill my shoulder fianly just said I cant take this anymore and gave out. It would keep me up every night. This was an old football injury,baseball injury. Im still not back to working out but sure does feel so much better, I can sleep again!!! I would say another 2 months I will be 100% I feel like im at about 80-85% now. I know alot of people who have had shoulder surgery and the biggest part of rehab is make sure you do you PT. If not you gonna hate life. My PT helped so much mainly all the streatching. Getting range of motion back is the tuffest thing. Lots of painful PT. Well GL if ya get it fixed
