    I would call FEMA. Sooner or later there will be a hurricane come through and you can haul relief supplies.

    OTR is not for everyone but I'm curious, how old are you and how long have you been OTR?

    Like I said, I was just curious.
    Some of the younger people don't want to make the sacrifices to be an OTR driver.
    Sacrificing hometime and their social life and they find OTR is harder than they thought.
    I'm not saying that's you but like I said... I was just curious.

    CDLJOBS.com.
    Be careful with Craigslist lots of phishing for private info for Id theft.
    Make sure it's an actual company first , don't just click a link and send your info.

    Also know that a lot of recruiters on there aren't actually employees for the company they're posting.
    Which means your going to be sending your personal and private info to some yahoo that may or may not protect it.
    And could be just phishing.

    If you run into one of those busts contact the company directly.

    Here's something else to be careful about on Craigslist.
    Anybody can post a photo of a companies truck along with a phone number claiming to be a representative of said company.
    Always do a secondary search to confirm add is actually from that company and then contact them through that secondary search.

    For those of you reading this and think ah baloney, well it just so happens that a few months ago on my local news they did a story on a driver looking for work who in fact had his identity stolen while replying to a Craigslist ad. Thankfully he wasn't to embarrassed to have the story done.
    I'm sure it's saved a lot of others from the same thing.
