    I really wanted regional anything, not necessarily flatbed.

    Here’s the $64,000 question. If I’ve already applied to Company A through the Ten Street Driver Pulse app and put down hernia, and I apply to company B, would that info be found out? Do I have a scarlet letter now?

    I bet @Chinatown would know. Dang, man....that truly sucks. Have you checked out JR Schugel, known to hire out of Florida, for regional? Somebody 'Futch' (can't recall his whole name, bet China can...) hired on with them. Went solo for a bit, and decided trucking wasn't for him after all. He had a medical issue, as well.

    Couldn't you have gotten an SPE waiver?

    I sure am sorry this didn't work out for you. A reefer company here in Ohio is expanding lanes, due to the 'crisis' and could be someone you could look into, being you already have your CDL. Dutch Maid Logistics; worth a try. Family owned and run; 200 power units..hiring.

    Keep us posted; Bummer for sure.

    Jesus Christ! I’m no kidding passing a Cypress flatbed when a long nose Pete ran up right on my ###. I was even with the tractor when he came flying up. I put on my blinker to let him know I was going to get over ASAP. I didn’t want to move over with only three feet between me and the Cypress Truck. But the SOB got even closer and laid on his air horn. I rolled down the window to give him the middle finger, but decided he wasn’t worth it.

    Getting gas now btw.

    I go there often, I pull a frameless for Pritchett trucking out of lake butler Florida, actually loading now to head that way. If you’re interested in frameless dumps we might have something open, Ive been here almost 8 years, the money is steady, but there is a learning curve to take in to consideration before the solid paychecks start happening.

    I’m not sure if trucking for you was based on necessity or desire, but I like it here and make pretty decent money, if you need 1K steady per week from the word go then this isn’t the place, you can and will make it, but that depends on you, your work ethic and how quickly you find confidence in dumping. Sorry about cypress

    I also had the mesh implant, but never listed it on a job application. Even the company I was working for at the time of the surgery didn't know about it. Had it done while on vacation.

    Not sure who said that to ya; pretty sure it wasn't any of usn's. Sorry if I missed something.

    "Getting gas now btw" (<<< was it something you ate?!?!? J/K.. sorry. Trying to be lighthearted amongst all the mayhem, atm!)

    Are you getting gasoline, or the last fuel stop in the T/T? Both are around (and under $2.00) nowadays.

    Wish you well.

    May Trucking Company probably hire you and has a terminal in Pensacola.
    Go there for about 6 months and then you can go anywhere.
