    I posted this in the new driver forum as well, I hope that is ok.

    Been a while since I've posted but to get to the point, my co-driver and I are looking for a decent company to team drive with.

    Co driver has about 9 months experience and I have about 20 months experience. We were teaming doing produce, east coast to west coast until I had a bad medical emergency and have been out of driving since March this year.

    My co driver has all of his endorsements but I don't even have hazmat. Our overall goal is to team with old dominion but right now I am flat broke some I'm unable to get my endorsements until I get a paycheck coming in again.

    So many companies seem the bait then switch, etc, and that is really getting old.

    Does anyone know of any companies
    That would likely hire us to team that treats people well, gives fair hometime, has decent equipment, and good runs? Any suggestions for us for getting on with old dominion in the future? That is our absolute long term goal.

    We are based out of East Tennessee.

    Thanks so much for any help or suggestions.

    Most companies will give you like 90 days to get the needed endorsements.Doesn't hurt to talk to OD about that.

    We are actually planning on going to the old dominion terminal in person on Monday morning to at least talk with them. Any suggestions on getting hired by them?

    Just be neat and clean is my best advice. Dress as if you may get a road test, but still nice, clean work clothes. Good luck, it's a great career.

    I'm looking an experienced driver to team up with me. I'm a new class 1 driver need some experience of the road. Company don't hire me because of no experience. How can I get experience if nobody wants me. Alberta truckers need your advice I paid a full training course but it seems like is going out for nothing.
