I'm looking to team drive with an owner operator.

Hey Nelsonyankee, as you said I don't know what you're looking for but I am an O/O that is currently contracted with Forward Air out of Ohio. I reside in the Baltimore, Md area ad I am looking for a driver to team with. I don't know the full extent of your experience but we haul air freight in a dry van trailer which means a lot of light loads and/or drop and hooks. I just spoke with our recruiters to see if they may help with placing a driver and they pointed me to trucker site forums and your msg was the first one I came across. I do have a plan and running team trucks will set that plan in motion a little faster. Anyway, I can give you all the details if you're interested. NC is not too far from MD so home time shouldn't be a problem. Didn't mean to talk your ear off but hope to hear from you either way. Thanks.

 

Looks like you found a needle good luck. Mods frown on posting phone numbers publicly you might want to take that over to private messaging.

 

Wow, experience in them all and only been driving 2 years. Takes at least 6 months to say you have "experience" in any industry of trucking. So, he's hauled Flatbed, reefer, heavey haul, oversize, van, hopper bottom, tanker etc all in 2 years.

 

richter, that's not what the guy said at all. he plainly said he had some experience , but not a lot in all.

how is that any different from your comments on everything under the sun?? I think its a bit harsh to comment on the guy in that manner. if a guy has pulled a reefer once, he has some experience with a refer and so on. and if he pulled hoppers for a farm outfit he probably ended up pulling a tractor or equipment somewhere for that outfit also.

he simply stated he had a good basic understanding of different aspects. to me he is saying he has enough common sense and ability to figure things out quickly. common sense is lacking these days.

I would much rather see him post what he did than someone with a list a mile long of what he will or wont do and where he will or wont go.

 

nelson, I understood perfectly what you said and what you meant by your post. I have done this for 33 years and have hired several drivers over the years. if I had to make a decision on hiring by only reading posts on here, guess who I would hire??

don't let richter get to you . he types before he thinks if it would appear

 

This is pretty tame stuff. If you really want to stir the pot tell everyone how you've been dreaming of lease purchasing with swift. Or mention that a kenworth you once drove had a "condo" sleeper on it. You know it gets boring sometimes sitting in the cab of a truck so drivers just kill time and they will argue about anything anytime.
