Let me ask you this though: has it ever occurred to you that it seems those with the sketchiest backgrounds, the worst MVRs, and some criminal history; are the ones that come on here and want research done for them and basically want the easiest possible route to circumvent their lousy life choices? Some people SUCK at driving; some can even crash twice in 36months. Maybe they don't need names; or suggestions..............maybe they need to be told they suck and to consider another trade!! Our trade has become rife with people who are using it as a job of last resort; and about 85% of the companies you suggest regularly are the ones who promulgate the "job of last resort" environment. So what I am asking is essentially this: for those (like the OP) who have hopped on here and are basically asking for their leg-work to be done for them..........consider telling them some hard truth instead of just herding them through another revolving door. Just consider it.Last edited: Aug 22, 2015
Old Iron, skootertrashr6, Chinatown and 1 other person Thank this. -
Bud I did my research thank you very much. I don't know all the companies out there. You also don't know my situation on my wrecks. One of them was a very freak accident. Doesn't matter it was my fault. Get off your dam high horse. If your not gonna offer to help them keep your nose out of it. I appreciate China's help. China I have been approved by Melton and maverick called me back and said everything looks good as well. That's who I'll be going with . Thanks for your help. -
OP: The entirety of my exchange with China was NOT directed at you, nor your specifice situation; but rather the culmination of many questions similar to yours.
(Insert sarcasm here) I am sure that despite "doing your research" you would never have heard of Melton or Maverick without China's help.
My "offer of help" is this: get of the internet and go looking for trucking companies. Small ones. 2, 3, 10 trucks.......if you GO and LOOK.......and ASK......you will find a place that will give you a shot. Seems most want to google a company, fill out an online app, and boom get a job offer. Doesn't always work that way.
On a more serious note, I hope you grow a thicker skin and a bit more patience. You will be needing both in this business, and all the more with either of those outfits. I wish you all the best and hope you are not just another statistic that gets ground up by the megas. Have a great weekend.MJ1657 Thanks this. -

@Chinatown I'm curious as to why we have responded to every question you have asked of us but you pick and choose to respond to the questions asked of you?
