    Windy Hill says ill start at .30 cents a mile... and that most drivers average 2500 to 3300 miles a week... Does this sound right to you folks? 1 cent raise every month for the first 9 months i think is what they said also

    Mule Clipper, what type of work are you looking for exactly? OTR is going to be rough on a young family if you're not ready for it, but with the economy the way it is right now you're going to be very hard pressed to find anything local right off the bat. There's still the option of regional, Commercial Carriers and Coastal Transport come to mind, they're both in the Comcar family of companies. I started with CCC when I was 21 and was fairly happy with them, just wasn't my cup of tea being away from home, especially when I had left a local job and the door was still open to go back. LCT, Windy Hill, other companies like that are most likely going to leave a sour taste in your mouth and might very well leave you questioning how getting your CDL benefitted you at all. Think clearly about the decissions you make right now, trucking is not the industry it once was, what used to be a drivers market has almost now become an employers market, they are able to pick and choose from thousands of applicants, if you're lucky enough to get hired somewhere just stay put and put in some time with them, it will look better in the long run to have a few solid years of employment with one carrier.

    Im lookin for the kind of work that will keep the lights on, food in my kids mouth and the ol lady happy partner... pretty much anyone that will hire me so i can get enough experience to come back home and get a local job at a place like Prichett or Mid-Florida Hauling where im home every night to watch my Daughter grow up... I understand what you Folks do is stressful and im goin to miss birthdays and first words.. but right now partner i need a job and thats my number 1 priority..

    Ive just done an online app. with a company called CRST .... Ever heard of them?

    I feel like ive planted an Egg and am waiting for a chicken to Grow
