    I was in that position 1 yr ago. Very few would consider me, so I started with a crappy food dist in OKC and worked there for 6 mo. That got me to the point that I "qualified" for Arnold (USX). Now I'm at the point where I have more options. Good luck!

    Ok djchaos76, I will look them up and see what they have going for them. I am on the West Coast and so far Werner & Knight are tho only ones that have given me a shot. Maybe that will give you more opptions.

    If you are on the west coast, then Star won't work for you. We only run the area east of I-35 if you draw a line from Minnesota to Texas.
