    Miss it, I don’t think I could work for anyone other than myself, been on my own since 1984, and driving since 1979

    I've been driving for 7 years now. I used to own my own full service carpet cleaning service for 30 years. Then O'Bummer came along and destroyed a lot of things! Had to figure something else out and my uncle was a driver and my best friend used to drive and then became a bar tender in Vegas. He kept saying I should become a driver.

    Look at any dairies, feed mills, egg farms, cotton farms (safford az) etc. These are smaller operations and even some that are "farm trucks" that don't have DOT or even CDL requirements and usually run local within 50 or much less mile radius of their mill or farm. So they won't have recruiters or websites. Call or stop by directly. Our company is a DOT subsidiary of the dairies.... But our dairies run from 5-27 "farm trucks" year round and seasonal. My father in law worked for neighbor dairy till he was 84 just hauling cow ####, silage and corn harvest running a 20 mile round trip each load.

    I'll check into that... if there isn't a big difference, I may just be an employee. These guys test you the same as trucking. DOT physical and drug test!

    Do you want me to put you down as referral? I will need your name.

    Do you have any idea how much you can make as a courier for this company?
    They have a Cust Svc/Dispatch job they're only paying $18.50 an hour (Not worth it).
