    Came out of retirement for a small union project cause they run off 2 drivers that couldn't drive a stick. $35/hr+bennies. It's a sad day. That and protesters.

    CRST and Werner turned me down because of a 20 year old conviction from when I was in college.

    Ozark couldn't have cared less.

    One company out of Louisiana offered me a job, saying I had the bare minimum experience required. Thinking "wow I'll get paid good then" they said we can do 38cpm to start, no wait you have a tanker endorsement, so 39cpm. I laughed and said I'm making 44cpm with Ozark, thanks but no thanks.

    1 year of experience and starting at 38cpm, Ozark will train you and spit you out on your own at 43cpm.
