I've made my choice...it's my turn.

You'll set that up with finance after you talk about the truck you want and availability.

 

I wouldn't worry about the credit so much because mine is not great either for the same reasons. I would think your experience would be ok. I can't help much with the freight in that area, I don't get in that area a lot. There was someone in my orientation that lived in Brooklyn, NY and they basically told him that he could make plenty just staying in the northeast. Also, I believe for NY state, you have to form an LLC before they will accept you. I would just put in an app at SFI and on the job website and see what happens if you are interested. I am sure some of the guys that run up there will chime in sometime.

 

Hey thanks for the advice and encouragement. I def will look into that llc biz..I appreciate your time..my plan is to get thru this year n keep saving money n let some more time get between me n that bankruptcy and go for it in january..I guess the only way ill know is to try n go for it..i hope to have a success story to add by then. Thanks again!

 

You would do fine IMO.
If you can drive here in the NE you can drive anywhere.
Where you live is a great area.
You only need $1000 down for FL EVO.
Unless you want a auto or a diesel fired apu.
That's all you need to get rolling.

 

Well, my husband might not be coming over just yet. Even though he's been driving for 11 years, has spent time as an instructor and supervisor, he spent 3 1/2 months local in the past year and SFI is saying that he needs the full year of OTR in order to get the lease... He's been OTR for the past 8 months, but apparently that might not work for them. They are still going to try to push it through, but his phone interview was put on hold till Monday. I'm praying this works for us!

 

So I've been approved and can come on board anytime. My question is, is it worth it? I make 75-80k as a company driver pulling tank hazmat. But there is a lot of bs. I live in so Cali. And not sure if the money will be there. What you all think? Stay or go? Been approved for 1 year lease 1000 down on fl or 3 year no money down.
