    If you only have 1 ticket in the last 3 years you shouldn't have to much of a problem finding a job.


    Look into KLLM, if all else fails call swift.


    Good Luck!

    I would go back to the trucking school you went to and ask why you haven't recieved a job since a trucking school's job is to get you a cdl and a trucking job

    I just finished with my cdl schooling and have tanker/hazmat. I have an orientation with Swift for Aug. 2nd and a few other companies have called me with interest. Which are the ones I should avoid and which would be good to start my career with? I don't want to get robbed by starting at a low cpm since I am here to make some money as we all are. The companies are: WSE, Swift and CRST. They all said they would put me through their orientation and go out with trainer from 1-6 weeks then go solo. Where will I make the most money? Which will treat me better?

    Well, you will not go solo with CRST because they only run teams. Maybe you should give Maverick or TMC a call my friend. Good luck.
