If your buddy wants a job that bad then you give him the numbers and he calls around.Wednesday is aways off.Hope you don't fill out an application for him unless you get paid,lol.Im sorry but I just can't resist,lol.25 yrs old and can't do anything for himself.How on earth is he going to be able to handle trk driving without you there?

Its a good question. Seems risky to leave a guy like that in charge of a truck ... if he comes across some obstacle or hurdle somewhere 2000 miles away from you is he likely to abandon the equipment and take flight? People do go through life phases though where they need help to get back on the rails due to being overwhelmed. But perhaps its a good idea to help him get into something that's less critical like working a loading dock. Once he's got a couple of years solid under his belt he can get into trucking. Baby steps.pattyj Thanks this.

Sounds like a very good idea, thank you.
Good idea, maybe you're right that I'm trying to do too much.pattyj Thanks this. -
I wish I had personal knowledge of the fella she is trying to help, and without that, quite possibly both of you may have a very valid point.
Hard to say if it's just "network/research computer assistance" or if that fella has the character to try to rely far too much on hand holding, for any trucking job.
OP, I did offer assistance, but another recent post by a newer driver who meets my latter description also makes me want to make it clear to both you & him, that this job does require far more than just driving skills, and it is an occupation/profession that does require self-responsibility, self-reliance, & self-decision making, on a 24/7/365 basis. They cut very little slack in those departments, in this industry.
Just so he is clear on that.Gitana Thanks this. -
Prime requires school. They told a friend of mine that has his A he needed to be a graduate of a school or call them when he has experience.
Maverick is a very good company. I would suggest Melton but they require a school. -
Ill need a driver in march.We are pulling refers.Also I can train him, I think two to three weeks will be enough.Its going to be a pain in the neck with insurance but I think we're going to go thru.Of course he will be payed during a trainig period.Everything will go smooth as long as he is a good man.
