    Only place you'll remain at with lieing is the unemployment line.How much exp do you have and what type of companies are you applying to? Maybe you don't have the requied exp those companies you've appled to.

    I presume you've checked Magnum since they hire newbies in MN. In NW MN, check Halvor Lines or Sue Vinje Trucking. Have you checked Craislist? There's more than meets the eye since a lot of companies hire with no experience AND train you.

    Could be something on his record too,because right now drivers are a high commodity.If you don't have the exp you may need to go back out with a trainer.Should'nt be that hard to get prehired.

    Oh ok that makes sense now. Getting a local job just out of school can be tough.

    It will be harder out in the sticks, so many drivers ran for the oilfeilds that theres a bit of a surplus out that way from what i have read. Take the mag gig but tell em you want to drive when they get a open truck. Might be a good foot in door situation.
