    Just pick up the phone, put on your most professional voice, and say, "I'd like to check the status of my application." Sometimes, it takes a little initiative. In the meantime, follow the others' advice and diversify your search.

    Well, I applied for TMC with a perfect background, prior Military and Law Enforcement, and SOLID work History and was turned down instantly for no given reason. When I asked, they said they didn't know, and if I wanted to reapply, I could, but they wouldn't look at it.
    If I wanted a second review, I would need to send in a written letter explaining why.....

    I do NOT understand that.

    I have been looking into Keim TS. It seems pretty solid so far. Yea you have your handful of disgruntled drivers blowing off steam in reviews and forums, but you get that with any place.

    Does anyone know someone or have personal experience with Keim?

    If you have Facebook, check out the Maverick Driver Q&A page. Might have to get invited to join but when in you could get some good answer's to your question I bet. Otherwise just try to be patient. The market is slow right now.

    As CT pointed out above -- Chattanooga is (normally) a GREAT place to get into trucking.

    I will submit....with all due respect -- that your responses would likely be warmer IF -- you already had a CDL.

    Better still -- a CDL with a hazmat endorsement.

    As things stand now (the current abysmal CDL job market) -- you have too many applicants in the same stack as you -- but who already have a CDL.

    A valid CDL would show the current crop of finicky carriers out there...that you mean business -- because you already have "some skin in the game".

    As a recruiter -- who would you hire, first?
