Future Tanker Yanker

Hi WP,
Wilson is one I'm looking at for all the reasons you mention. TMC is another, but I'm not in their hiring area. Not a huge issue because I can use my parents' address in north Florida, and I do plan on moving back to the Southeast when all said and done. I spoke with a recruiter from both and got a different interest response. I told TMC my possible itinerary for June, and he was really interested. Asked a lot of questions, and we discussed logistics in moving to the area for training. He said he will call me through the months and see how things are progressing. By contrast Wilson, as soon as I said I wouldn't be able to start until summer, took the wind out of the sails and didn't want to talk much. "Call me in June."

I'm certainly entertaining staying with one company for the 10-15 years I can run. Both TMC and Wilson would be good choices to do just that. Just wish they did tanker.

 

Ah! You know me well, then.
To put it in greater perspective, for 20 years I worked at an Alternative Education campus (kids who get expelled). Fights, drugs, mental illness, home abuse/neglect, disregard for authority, etc. were daily norms.
Typical start of the day: "Good morning, class!" Response: "F*** You!"
I just rolled with it.

Yeah, I think if I can handle that for 20, I can handle a dispatcher, receiver, etc.

 

Ya know I had a friend who drove for BillyBob.
Come to think of it, I haven't heard from him in a while
