  1. Attention employers: We now require a valid DOT# for anyone wishing to post a driving position. If your job offer doesn't contain a DOT number, it will not get past moderation and will not appear in the forum. The other requirements in the sticky at the top of this section are still required as well. Thank you for understanding.

    did ya'll read where he has already been thru 2 companies in his short time, driver you have 2 strikes against you already, regardless of circumstances but hopefully you can explain why you left to their satisfaction. the pet also poses a problem. GL on your search.

    Why would you say those are strikes against me? Almost everyone leaves those two companys within the first year. I just have a very quick learning curve. I know when something isnt right for me very shortly into it. I am really not worried about having trouble getting hired. Trucking companies love hiring vets and I have a squeaky clean record across the board. Nobody can blame me for leaving those cracker jack companies pre-maturely

    Why do you think this is a joke? I have a 2mo old and his mother to care for and it's a joke to you. I certainly dont find it funny. I didnt post this thread asking for jokes or negative comments. I am looking for advice on a serious matter. If you have nothing POSITIVE to contribute, then please dont bother.

    If you need a job as bad as you say I would not let a dog be the deciding factor on providing for my family.

    Sorry you feel that way. My intention was to say you need to look at your post's. Your calling yourself a Vet after one year and asking for allot. look around on this site and you will see how little is available. I wasnt kidding about Swift. Most of these big carriers are just not hiring now and the ones that are want allot of expierence. :biggrin_25525:

    Most likely my bad on that interpretation of Vet. I guess my point was he doesnt have much expierence compared to what they are looking for in this economy. I have been down this road and still am with sixteen years EXP. It's tough out there right now.

    People are not trying to be rude, the way thing are now. And going into another winter in a bad economy, you need to humble yourself and take whatever job you can get. Even if you have to leave you dog at home.

    well, as far as the dog goes, I wanted to start at the top of my list and work down from there.If I cant have a furbutt thats just how it is, but Im gonna try for it anyway. I do have a list ofcompanies that I will NOT drive for under any circumstances and Swift is at the top.
