    How can a rookie in this message board remove a thread?

    my simple idea of getting some experienced guys to recommend a good starter co, has, EPIC-ALLY failed.
    Now i feel like I just need to make a ### out of meself, but not going to do that.

    are there any experienced posters out there...rookie needs help...4500 post should qualify as experienced...

    Maybe your other epic fail was assuming all drivers are guys.

    You really should explore other industries.

    Write down every company on a piece of paper and stick them to a wall. Blindfold yourself and throw a dart. Whatever you hit that's where you go to work. Problem solved!

    Look, we can not tell you what you want. Every driver is different so how in the world could one person pick a job for you? That's just too far out there. Again, take some time and make a list of what you want and what kind of goals you'll expect in the future. If you do not care then you're only in it for the ride and will not last long. May even find some real bad trouble. Just by setting some goals you'll get a much better response from the drivers. For example. " I want to drive flatbed and be OTR as much as possible" or "I like LTL and dedicated routes how can I find one". "I want to get into tankers does anyone have suggestions on how I can do that". Can you see the point? If you sit back on your can and take any little information (be it right or wrong) you're only hurting yourself and you'll be sending a clear cut message to the boss you're lazy.
