Experience from class B to A

You're gonna think I'm lying,the day after my 27th birthday I got 3 of my top front teeth and all the bone holding them in place,knocked out by the steel lids on a 5 yard container on the back of a 31 yard Leach body.I'm one of the reasons they put plastic lids on dumpsters.

 

They were,don't tell my wife.

 

There actually are a few options.

You could probably go to work for a contractor driving a dump truck. If it's a good-sized contractor he may have tractor trailers also or at least he may need somebody to fill in for the low bed.

You could also go to Food Service. The right Food Service Place May hire you for class A or you may have to work as a helper or on the dock or something and they'll promote you.

Also if you're in an area where there is ABF Freight or some other LTL, they often will train you if you work on the docks. I think ABF has their own Driving School. I think they're Union also.

Good luck.

 

They don’t care. It’s recent exp they want, Unfortunately.

 

Yeah. I know.I just get a little upset when I see where the industry has gone and how companies are taking advantage.They don't want experience,they want robots.

 

And they can’t wait to get them. ..... Meanwhile

 

Nah.I appreciate the thought though.I did see an ABF driver go in the ditch once.On rt.80,on top of mount Pocono,200ft.into a tree,haulin' doubles.
Right in front of me.35yrs ago, I can still picture it.

 

Now you said the magic word.

Insurance. THEY Decide who gets the job, none of the company stuff like interviewing.

 

Or road testing.
