    So I contacted AMX today and spoke to the recruiter. I might have to go up there and do their school. I’m perfectly fine with that providing they hire me after the school.

    if not, I’m gonna go to mid Florida Tech. Davis out of Stark hires from there. Also, I believe so does Schneider and Roehl. I’m going to submit applications once I get my CDL back and go from there.

    @Chinatown , if you have any more recommendations, besides the companies, you listed, please post below.
     
    Vic Firth and Chinatown Thank this.

    I'm out of ideas right now. But will keep trying.
    This is the only one I can think of right now:
    Mail Order Brides: Russian and Eastern European women as well as Asians and Latin Americans whom you would otherwise not have the opportunity to meet! Mail Order Brides 101: All One Needs To Know About Them (brightbrides.org)

    Recently my sister revealed to me that when I was born, the doctor dropped me on my head.

    Is Knight considered a good company? They have a job listed in my area for 7 to 10 days out and 2 to 3 days home.

    Western Express is not hiring below I-10 per the recruiter I spoke to.

    Need to speak to someone at Paper Transport to see if they are hiring in my area.

    Knight is ok. If you're on any pain medications from surgery, Knight does hair follicle drug test.
