    Yea there is, it's just getting there is the main goal, and the reason behind my idea of getting a CDL in the first place...I was planning on driving and getting the experience of OTW for one or two years before actually making the move if possible. But finding something in NM is challenging for sure. I currently drive a CDL-B for the City of Rio Rancho (Bucket Truck) but the pay is really low and hard to make things meet.

    Near Gate City are two grocery warehouses; one in Virginia and one in Tennessee.
    Looking good for you once you get there.

    That's good that you've squashed that issue. In the trucking industry, it's best to minimize or even avoid social media or topics about these issues. There are guys on here that attached themselves to the company Facebook page, or to employees that work in the office. These drivers exposed s little too much about themselves, thinking they had friends inside the terminals. Oh quite contrare, we are all replaceable in the industry,, and these companies won't hesitate to get rid of anyone that may damage their image. I always think it's a bad idea to fraternize with office workers in any way. Everyone is entitled to how they feel, I just don't always think it should be public. Anyway, man if it were me, I'd definitely use the VA address and apply to any and everyone. It takes one yes to get the ball rolling. I agree with @Chinatown when he said take whatever you can get.

    Yeah, "What is Facebook?"
    I have no idea.
    Only time I recommend Facebook is if a driver needs a 1099 job.

    I've never had a Facebook profile. Lol. I kinda like to keep under the radar. This era of over-sharing is the death of many.
