TWIC Card, 2 years exp. specialized hauling, doubles, overweight

Started my career in the Carnival business (think county and state fairs) moving their equipment. I am with my present company for just under 10 months, my previous company just under 9 months. In the carnival business that's two full seasons, for the most part.

I am skilled in tight maneuvers, precision backing (although I am not perfect), and have driven 50k miles accident-free.

I'm looking for a company that:

-Hauls dry van, reefer, flatbed, or container out of port (although I have no experience with container loading)
-Will accept felonies over 7 years old without prejudice
-Will value the fact that I met the requirements, was approved for and received a TWIC (Transportation Worker Identity Credential) and am therefore eligible for Hazmat endorsement.
-Recognizes that my experience working at a Carnival Amusement company is extremely relevant, as I drove OTR, and performed maneuvers in a 53' tractor-trailer combination that most average truck drivers do not perform on a daily basis. (i.e., extremely tight maneuvers in small parking lots meant for cars, through narrow gates, precision backing loads onto an exact location). These maneuvers have made me a very experienced and knowledgeable driver.
-Can offer direct deposit
-requires e-logs, or expects drivers to run 100% legal at all times, and takes driver's side on safety-related decisions.


I'm not picky, I'm just looking for a company that cares, is able to recognize experience even though it comes from unconventional trucking companies, and won't judge me by my past.

Thanks.

I can be contacted at 561-246-1788 anytime, or via email at mjfreespirit@gmail.com

 

Just to add, I am not interested in running teams.
