Starting out for rookies

Try scrolling up a bit....

 

Was being facetious.

Let me get my dictionary....

 

I have never met a man so ignorant that i couldn't learn something from him.

Hello everbody am new here and i see there alot of good information here and i agree.I have had my class-b license for 15 years, and drove a dump truck a few years. and left to start my on home improvment, did good but sent the work went south, found my thinking out side the box and went to get my class-A. and am glad i did but then you fined out it's hard getting back to trucking.so sit out to fine a job any job. got lucky found a local job job, the company haul a little of everthing and we well be use dump truck, flat.drop, and van truck so yes by all mean knot on all door. thank you everbody kept message going

 

I'm glad you found something local . My son works for a towing co. near Charlotte and stays very busy .

 

I have 3 mos. OTR, 3mos regional (8 states), and 3 mos. exp. locally. I live in north central ohio with the worst unemployment rate in Ohio. I have been seeking a driving job for over a year now. Have been to all local companies and several online seeking a driving job. Have good MVR and DAC records, no tickets, felonies, accidents, and cannot get hired because they all want over two years experience or their insurance won't cover me. Which is comprehensible. I cannot afford to be O/O and I am ready to throw in the towel on ever driving truck again. Some companies have told me I haven't driven for too long of a period. I cannot afford to go back to trucking school. I have a Class A license with 6 mos. dry van and 3 mos. dump box. Is a driver ever going to "forget" how to drive? How would I get "experience" when no one is or will hire me? I also have a jack russell terrier that must go with me as I live alone and have no one to board him. He travelled regionally with me and travelled well and truck was spotless. This presents a problem with many companies. Of course if I drive locally, he stayed home as I was home every night.

 

Have you tried Panther , FedEx Custom Critical and the other expedite carriers ?
