    Glad to hear you weren't another one wasting taxpayers' money with WIA funding

    I'm not going to lie, I tried to get some extra help, but apparently the last 2 jobs I held are still in high demand. In the past almost 3 years I have been a general labor construction worker without the necessary skills to compete in the current job market, and a driver for 1-800-G*T-J*NK. Apparently there is plenty of work for people with the "experience" I have, I just can't seem to find it. Most construction jobs require more skills and experience that I have, and most, if not all worthwhile local driving jobs require a CDL. I'm looking for a career and I have no problem running hard, paying my dues, earning my keep and not driving asleep.

    I have a few companies in mind...these are who I'll be sending apps to immediately (in no particular order):

    1. System Transport Inc.
    2. TWT (I know that #1 & #2 are both part of Trans-System Inc.)
    3. Watkins & Shepard
    4. May Trucking
    5. Schneider
    6. Stevens

    What do you guys think? Is there another OTR company that you would recommend? I've heard good and bad from pretty much every company so I'd be interested in opinions. Thanks!

    O&O,

    I started out with May, might wanna cut that one to the bottom of your list. You did however get the top 3 right. I'd start with system, and see if you can get on with JJ williams. Tankers is the way to go! Not that I'm biased or anything haha....But really man System and TWT will be a great way to get into JJ Williams.
     
    0260 Thanks this.
