    Every company I worked for paid for my DOT Medical when I worked for them. A few companies I worked for accepted my current DOT card if it had time left before it expired.

    Sorry you already were laid off.
    Maybe try a reefer company; won't be laid off with refrigerated freight.

    I've worked for a couple places that I had to front the cost and got reimbursed.

    They were both small, family owned outfits, though.

    Pre-11/29 BP averages out of this world... My Progress:

    1. 11/29/22 = 150/106
    2. 11/30/22 = 140/101
    3. 12/01/22 = 152/99
    4. 12/02/22 = 143/92
    5. 12/05/22= 134/100
    6. 12/06/22 = 124/82
    7. 12/07/22 = 125/88
    8. 12/08/22 = 126/88

    I went ahead and applied to three jobs today.
    1. Co-Alliance Propane Service tech (CDL A required) - $76k avg
    2. Co-Alliance Fuel Delivery Driver (CDL A/B required) - $50k to 76k avg
    3. Midwest Logistics Systems (CDL A required) - They called me right away but working 4pm to 2am doesn't sound too delightful.... but perhaps get my foot in the door and a year later look else where? I applied here just because New Castle is ten minutes away from me.
     
    Eddiec Thanks this.

    1. This one could very well be more seasonal...with work slowing way down (and thus, your paycheck) after the weather warms back up. Ya might wanna have a "plan B" (and/or another side gig) ready.....:oops:

    2. I've been doing fuel delivery now, for about a year and a half. To be totally honest--I can't in good conscience recommend it for someone just out of CDL school. Why? Mistakes with fuel tend to be either....(a) VER-RY expensive; (b) VER-RY dangerous...or (c) Both. Fuel delivery can thus be a very unforgiving world. :( If you are interested in tanker duty--go for food-grade work, first....and get some real experience there (at least a year--two is much more marketable, though). Examples: Indian River Transport, or maybe Carry Transit. Both of those hire new CDL grads. :cool:

    3. 4 pm to 2 am is a pretty typical work shift schedule, for someone just starting out in fuel delivery (been there, still doing that o_O). Yes--that is MUCH tougher--if you are married, and have children (I get it).
