    Yeah the Ryder job is almost definitely AWG. The other one is for Costco, not sure if it’s direct loads from their DC or could be a vendor delivering water/toilet paper or other bulk items to their stores.

    Roadway is not an option anymore, Yellow bought/merged with them, renamed it YRC and closed completely.

    No one will look at anyone right now without all their endorsements such a bad market right now there’s hundreds if not thousands of guys with all their endorsements in the application pool as it is

    Thank y'all for responding. I ended up moving back with my parents to South Dakota, and work for a mail haul contractor. About $1700/week pretax, far, far easier work than I was doing before. Sioux Falls to Fargo and back, and that's a day.

    I was working for Sysco Nashville. Super grim warehouse for Sysco. Left not long after I had a full calendar year+approved hired at the new place.

    I was approved by TSA to get HME before I left the parking lot from getting fingerprinted, and I'm waiting on someone to retire for a $36/hr local fuel hauling gig here. In the meantime I'll be getting my endorsements (except manual restriction lift, still no good way to get it done. doesn't matter for now though) in the next couple weeks.

    Sorry for not responding for a thousand years.

    Yeah I got burned out and there were just too many little things that sucked the joy out of the job. I haul groceries around town now, and I actually look forward to going to work these days.

    What do you mean? They always had cameras. The new ones that came with the new ELDs didn't give me any problems.
