Driving with No EXP

Hey all,

Well here we go....about 20 years ago I had to get my CDL...old job was a Gov. service....like city GOV.

Well we all went and got them...some class B some class A
then 4 years later we found out we did not need them...so I let mine go,,,

So now My job different job.....they wanted us to have one...so I went through all the trouble to get it back....Class A and DOT Physical card....but I have No driving experience....
I am in the Memphis TN. area.....where can one get a good starting job in this part of the country to get started...Now I know most all recruiters will promise you the world and when you get there they give you a globe

Mostly looking for a place to get some time under my belt....not as much the money...but home time and good starting pay....

Any suggestions...????

I have a friend who has been driving for over 20 years...he has even said something about us doing some team driving and he would help me along...so that could be an option if a Company would go along with it...

 

Oh yea....I drove a while back with my buddy....and there seems to be a problem with me finding those gears....Man I need practice

 

I am in the weigh scale business....our Sr. tech left about 6 weeks ago and they wanted me to have it to drive the Truck Scale test truck 2 days a month....I was to get a 1.00 per hour raise for getting my CDL....been 3 months and nope....not seen a penny

So I figured since I went through all the trouble to get it back....maybe I need to look at a driving career....and get out of the Scale business

 

yea Swift is in my back yard...I live north of Millington....see them all the time over on Brooks rd...was just not sure how they would be I know they are the largest and would prob have a lot to offer someone starting out....

 

Well yea i am new....scale Biz is ok but a pain in the Butt...been there 5 years...just at the point sick and tired of it...I will be 50 first of the year....just looking at options...yep married..23 years ...no kids....use to being home every night...and weekends....so would be a tough change...Money in scale biz....not very good 5 years....16 bucks an hour...kinda sucks...thank goodness wife make a bunch of money....
Buddy of mine was checking in with a Co. that hauls doubles for Fed-Ex here in town as a team.....may work out because he would be lead driver....leave out on Monday...10 am and back by 10 am fri.....weekends off.....I could handle that kind of runs...money is ok....a lot better then I make now.......so who knows...I just need to keep Looking at options
