    I got all 3 endorsements at once, and while this definitely didn’t happen with the hazmat test I aced the doubles and tank tests.

    It's been no dice for me for the past, few years. I've applied to all the one's that have been listed in here and while ODFL and Estes in Albuquerque actually gave me the time of day back in 2017 for a face-to-face, nothing ever came of it. Despite having eight years of accident free in the milk hauling scheme, I just seem to slip right under their radar.

    At this point, I'm conflicted about sticking to my relative, low cost area. And having to make another move to some place with a wider range of work opportunities and higher rent. Not trying to sound like a broken record, but this particular area I live in is mainly agriculture dominated and the pay/benefits are a joke in the multitude of haulers associated with it down here. Tough times.
