    First off I'm not getting mad some ppl have been rude for absolutely no reason. Guess they are miserable. Second the responses are based on people's opinions about me not wanting to work or trying to be on top without putting the work in. Although I don't have my license I've been driving a st aight trucks for two years and now looking to go bigger for better pay. I mean who doesn't want that?

    Took me 3 years to be able to come off the road and get my job. granted I live in a small area but still, it takes time and hard work to get where you want to be.

    Go to ProDrivers.com, there is one in just about every state. If there isn't one in your state just do a job search by your zip code and there may be an out of state office that covers your area. Also if you decide to relocate you can transfer your file from one office to another. They offer health insurance, vacation time, and other benefits after 1000 hours and usually have work for you within days after you apply without the hassle of an interview or waiting game.
     
    TruckDuo and Aryi Thank this.

    I get wanting that stuff. we all do. I mean this with no disrespect at all but you don't have your CDL and companies don't look at straight truck experience. It's just not how it works in this industry
     
    dog-c, Puppage, TruckDuo and 3 others Thank this.

    It does some tend to have better karma than others. I fall into that category. So I will apply and remain positive and report back what happens.
