Need Advice...

I need to get a job, I'm looking for suggestions as to a decent company that will give a driver who has been unemployed for 15 months. (due mostly to being lazy, and picky) My last job lasted 11 years and then ended because the dedicated customer went out of business. I didn't waste all my time off... I got long put off surgery for bad circulation in my legs, one at a time, and I worked on creating a product, and getting a patent for it, so I didn't just do nothing.

I have 19 years experience no accidents, no tickets... somewhere between 1.5 and 1.75 million miles. But my down shifting in particular is a bit rusty, I went to a school for a refresher late last summer... but they were about as useful as they were the first time as far as getting road time. I just got my hazmat background check cleared, and will need to test. Though I've never had hazmat, I'm not worried about the test as I've been studying. I already have tanker endorsement.

I've been trying to get local and that just hasn't worked out. I would be interested in regional but not really OTR... I just know that if I took OTR... I wouldn't last long... especially with some of the stories I've read on this forum. Flatbed is out because my knees wouldn't deal with it well. I know I probably sound picky, but I just can't see jumping into something that I'm going to hate and consequently not be successful at.

So if anyone has any suggestions for a decent company that will take into consideration my record... and understand that shaking a little rust is all I need to be back out there in tiptop shape, and will give me that opportunity, I'd appreciate hearing about them... Thanks for your time...

BTW.. No failed drug tests and current DOT medical good until 9/2014.

 

My record is real... if I wasn't being honest I wouldn't admit to a bit of laziness... but I was getting an unemployment check that was more than some jobs pay... so hence the pickiness... not the case any longer. I didn't realize that the getting a product sold was a long process. Thought I might avoid getting back in a truck, though I've missed some aspects of it... Where in VT is Bellevance... I'm from Vt originally and the name doesn't ring a bell... Thanx

Sorry.. never mind looked it up duh... they're up by Montpelier.

 

Hi... Good Luck with Barr Nunn... I was thinking about them... Hey the last company I worked for was out of Allentown... They were Damar trans... until 2009 then they became AE Logistics... are you familiar with them...?

 

Hey Bubba... Let me know how things are with Barr Nunn.... I'll be interested to hear what they offered you... Good luck...

 

I called Bellavance... they sounded interested... then I looked up their SMS and this is what I found....
