Another Newbie Introduction

Chinatown is the TTR career councilor. His advise is good, he's stays abreast of all trucking companies.

What is the kitties name?

 

Piece of Advice. Before listening to anyone on the phone trying to Schmooz you into a job. Research on here a couple companies on here. Find out the ones that peak your interest. Then grab a couple washingtons and head to the local truck stop. You would be shocked how much information you can gather from a simple coffee/dinner paid for. I hung out around the diner and when I saw a company I was interested in I would approach the driver, introduce my self and tell them I'm interested in the business and would like to ask them some questions. Offer to pay for their dinner or coffee and ask the questions. A LOT MORE informative then someone who's job is to paid to get you to come to their company.

 

Those companies I listed hire in WA & OR which means you wouldn't have to change jobs when you move. You will have to switch your CDL to your new domicile state though.
You can change jobs if you want and a couple of companies that hire in those states are Brown Line and Interstate Distributor. Not much on here about Brown Line, but that company seems to be real good.
Keep a little notebook with companies you're interested in or may be interested in for the future; this way you won't have to start over researching if you decide to make a change. That's what I did my whole career and it really paid off. I called it my "backup plan."

 

This is something to seriously take into consideration.

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!
