Alot of companies still wont touch you. Its an insurance thing.
-
so how long would I have to drive as a company driver before I can bring my own truck with any one you think?
-
Depends on the company but most likely 6 months recent OTR
-
For me ( HIRING O/O's ) I will not talk to anyone about being hired on as an O/O with less than 5 years experience & a GOOD credit report.

He's not looking at leasing a truck. He's going to buy the truck straight up from a dealer or another driver. Then go lease to somebody like mercer landstar(Don't go) or whoever
Crdit has nothing to do with what he is saying.
And mercer will higher you if you have 1 yr recent verifiable and a truck.
You will need at least 6 mths if you can find a company that doesn't advertise.
1 yr for big ones with adds all over the place.ThatboyB Thanks this. -
He asked a question about becoming an O/O to which I posted a reply pertaining to how I hire O/O's, as for a good credit check if more companies did that there would be far less FAILURES.
And where did I mention LEASE anywhere in my post ?Lilbit Thanks this. -
All companies you lease to will run a credit check and background check. At the minimum .

It's an insurance company thing, not the big companies . . .
