1. Attention employers: We now require a valid DOT# for anyone wishing to post a driving position. If your job offer doesn't contain a DOT number, it will not get past moderation and will not appear in the forum. The other requirements in the sticky at the top of this section are still required as well. Thank you for understanding.

    The job posting looks good to a CDL-A OTR/Regional with 12+yrs, completely clean record, avg 2-4yrs with historical employers and very varied experience. Why go through the Driver Pulse, rigorous background checking and cost to pre-qualify me for a job you list as $95K-115K, but then when you call to invite me to your orientation and ask if I have questions, you tell me average weekly mileage is 2500-2750 and the CPM is $.58? That math isn't even close... potentially (likely!) $20K below the lower amount of your range.

    Please contact me via PM or response to this thread for a fact sheet about my qualifications... but be HONEST about the pay. My main deal-breaker limitation is that I'll need a Pet policy for my totally clean, 16lb Pug puppy co-rider. You hiring authorities KNOW what a flexible, experienced driver is worth- c'mon, lets make some money together...
