    Yes. I'm perfectly fine with that! I love driving at night.

    I left out today, but when I get back I'll pass by there and see the name since I've forgotten now.
    Also, Scariano and Winn-Dixie in Hammond are hiring drivers last I heard.

    That's awesome! Thanks a lot!! I heard community coffee is a good company to drive for as well. But you have to wait for someone to die to get in there. What I heard anyway.

    the Georigia Pacific plant in Zachary has a company they contract to do spotting.

    i took a job here a couple months back. i hate it with all my heart n soul. but who knows, it might be perfect for someone else.

    ill be leaving shortly. think imma go back OTR for a high paying expediter i used to work for. maybe go O/O. if i do i might be looking for team mate. (ill make my own thread)

    imo the jobs worth at least 65k-85k with the demands, schedule, and non stop exposure to deadly chemicals that will severly shorten your life (makes smoking 2 packs a day look like health food)

    I'd also be interested in the name of that company. Please let us know if you can.

    Thanks!

    @Chinatown , ive been searching this forum since i got my cdl a month ago and ive noticed your a top dog. Im a young new driver with a misdemeanor marijuana charge. Ive lived and learned from that mistake and im squeaky clean besides that. Prime or swift won't take me. Ptl will but ive heard to many bad stories... I want to team with a classmate from my cdl school, could you help me out on companies that would give me a chance. Ive done endless research, not lazy at all jus want to get to work asap.

    Carolina Cargo will probably hire you both as a team. The pay isn't that good, but if you can stick with them a few months, lots of other doors will open. They do west coast turnarounds back to back. Probably see California every few days.
    Carolina Cargo doesn't go by what's on the website, so apply and you'll probably be hired.

    @louisianatruckin - here's some more to try. Do the online applications before any phone calls then follow up with a phone call to ask about your job application. Again, ignore the hiring requirements on the websites; companies are bending their rules these days.
    TransAm
    USA Truck
    May Trucking Company
    Navajo Express
    PI&I Motor Express
    Florida Beauty Express
