    Man that's a whole lot of very harsh things to say. Call BS on my story all you want. You don't know me or my wife. If you don't have anything positive to offer, don't talk to me at all.

    I already applied to Dot while I was in CDL school and they turned me down. Said to reapply in 90 days.

    Yeah but next time you apply you'll have a cdl with the endorsements.

    My background took 2 weeks but that was a few years ago and Im in GA as well.
     
    James G and Chinatown Thank this.

    Is your wife going to ride along with you? Any pets going with you?

    We don't plan for her to ride along, but she might at some point. We have dogs, but I don't want to take them with me.

    I'll recommend this company because @bryan21384 recommends it. His word is good enough for me, even if he is a hillbilly!
    To clarify: Hillbilly means to refer to someone from a rural area, and usually from the southern United States.

    BWI Trucking is a trucking company based in Eufaula, Alabama, …
    Benny Whitehead Inc. is a family-owned trucking company & freight carrier based in Eufaula, Alabama. Operating from the Southeast to the West Coast, hauling refrigerated and dry goods.
    Since you're a new grad with no experience, you'll have to run teams the first 12 months. Probably make good money doing those West Coast turns.
