    I keep hearing about drivers getting other offers after about 6 months into their career. How do these other offers reach you? Through the mail (since I imagine CDL info is in the public record), approached at truck stops, or what? Just curious.

    I have also found that the more my network of other drivers and people that know I drive has expanded I get more offers from smaller companies or even owner operators occasionally. Have yet to find one to jump on but it is nice to get that kind of recognition.

    O/P ... I STILL get emails and/or texts from companies that I looked into 10 years ago; probably one of those "bucket" applications I filled out at one point, some companies still sift thru their files, and maybe run my name and see that I'm still "truckin safely?" Not sure~ but if you are looking to jump ship at 6 months in, why don't YOU be proactive instead of reactive, and contact the ones that interest YOU?
