Between a rock and a hard place!

Thanks again Chinatown. Right now, I'll look into any possibilities and I appreciate your advice.

 

Thanks allisonisatranny, I have heard both good and bad about Swift (but nothing like Werner and England) and so I'll look also further into what they might offer me. Like you said, it's just for 6-9mos which I noticed every company in Craig's List wanted to get started. Any of the real "money" companies wanted 2-years experience.

 

Hey Jaguar115, that's cool that your recommendation actually came with a company and specific person to call. I know that to really get a good job... sometimes it takes a personal recommendation to speak with a certain recruiter/employee and I appreciate that info.

 

Brandonpdx, it all started last week with Craig's List. Every "mom-and-pop's company" I checked wanted that dreaded combination of words... "1-2yrs of verifiable experience within the past 3-5yrs." So, that got me looking online and that's how I found this trucker's site. So definitely, after finally getting experience, I'll head out with one of those more specialized/personable companies because I'll finally have recent experience.

You know what hit me funny though. I used to drive for Werner. I was told by their recruiter that all I needed was to get a company to give me 30-days behind the wheel and then they'd take me back. I couldn't believe that only 30-days stood between my not driving and having a job. However, maybe I shouldn't head back with Werner this time. I have heard a lot more negative concerning them than I did back in 2005.
