I have been working for an owner op since 2021 doing local dry van work. I only had 8 months of experience with my license at the time and it was about 3 years before he hired me so I basically started from scratch all over again. Forever grateful for that. But now I want to work for a company (W2)because I owe around 18k to the IRS once I file taxes this year (I know). I’m making 1200-1400 weekly. So I’m hoping to make that at least as a company driver. Also we never ran ELDs or paper logs so I’d kind of need a refresher on that lol. Haven’t had a moving violation in 4 years. No DUIs. I just don’t know what companies are worth applying for
