    honestly i dont know. the company where my husband just got hired on, doesnt hire drivers with no experience...they dont even hire a driver with driving experience, if they dont have crude oil hauling experience. he got hired tho because he has a darn near spotless record (1 minor speeding ticket) and 29 years exp with no accidents....

    Don't you love it when companies can't just be honest with you from the start? It's like where I work, although I've been here almost a year and half it still urks me that I never work like I was told I would, when I interviewed/road tested I was told I would have normal hours usually off by 4, I'd have to work every Saturday but they usually only lasted until noon, and we rotated Sundays, 1 Sunday per driver per month, well let me just say none of that has worked out. In the winter I work ever second Sunday, but as soon as the Spring breaks it's every other Sunday, and Saturdays during the Spring and Summer months last until atleast 7pm, long story short I would have re-considered the position if I knew this was the reality, but I have to work so I just suck it up, I just pray to God I can go home to Florida soon, my wife has already went back and I'm getting tired of living the bacehlor life up here.
