Um. You have 13 years experience.

Congratulations?

 

Ya... I started local as well got a job with Pepsi as a driver trainee got my class A although I don't know if those type of opportunities are still out there

 

Is one of them supposed to be pm?

And his experience isn't that big of a deal, but definitely helps. These jobs are all about networking and finding someone to talk to their boss for you and recommend you, you know, business. In less that one year experience I had Monday to Friday 3-11

 

Ya I know a lot that started out days weekend of. It's normally not hard to get in Pepsi our plan was a revolving door.

 

Yes sorry 5 am to 5pm

 

Did you have at least 6 mo when you landed the local gig?

 

I did not even have a CDL yet thy got me my CDL in 4 weeks out buy my self in 6 weeks.. I really don't know how new truck driver starting driving now and if Pepsi still dose this. Side bay sucked buy I got in a bulk truck wal-mart food chain route and that was not to bad just pay was not all that good I was around 14$ a HR

 

It is definitely possible if you have patience, persistence, and look outside traditional trucking companies. It took a couple months and.about 50 applications after iI got my Cdl but with no experiance I got a local job driving a straight truck. Monday-friday. Start at 6 am, work 8 to 12 hours a day.$18 an hour, with time and a half after 40 . I work for a paint company. Was also offered a job delivering water with no experience.

 

9 months. We just goesa guy fresh out of school though

 

Yeah see ive heard insurance companies letting guys with 9-10 months slide so i understand that. Ive even heard of guys getting local gigs after 6 mo experience. My neighbor works for ryder on a local dedicated run. He started off local with them but that was 20 years ago. I just dont think they do that anymore. Only company i personally found that does is dirt trucks and whatnot but none of those companies called me back.
