So Frustrated! Any advice appreciated.

Absolutely true. The gig ain't what it's cracked up to be.

 

Lots of good suggestions! Glad I can get on this forum and pool from the knowledge and experience of others. One thing I keep hearing is that insurance companies won't insure me because I've been out over 3 years. Makes no sense to me. What ever happened to common sense in this nation? Do they honestly think I'm going to get behind the wheel and suddenly forget how to drive a truck? Or back one up? I've been repeatedly told ''So much has changed, so you need a full truck driving school.'' What's changed? The truck doesn't go forward when I put it in gear anymore? If they mean regulations or policies then give me a book and I'll read it. I can drive your freakin' truck and read a map! I can back it into a dock when I get there. I can read a manifest. DUH! You would think experience would matter. I could walk up to a truck right now, pre-trip it, get behind the seat, and DRIVE!

 

I worked with plenty of humble officers who saw helping others as their duty. Things like changing a flat tire for an elderly person or a mother whose car was broken down with kids on board were what made it all worth it. Much more satisfying than writing a stinkin' ticket.

 

Bill, I was just looking at their web-site and thinking of calling. I'd love to have just one recruiter listen and try to help. And thanks for the appreciation sir. May God richly bless you in all your endeavors.

 

Just called Gordon. I'm not in their hiring area.
