    Not all DOT line is cross country. There are some very regional loads that involve live load/unload.

    I have to agree that picking now to go o/o would be "gutsy." I'm not sure how bright it would be however.


    IROC, I'm so sorry to hear of your problem. Hope you find something right away.

    I've got a bud that left Interstate a couple of years ago. Only reason was that his wife no longer wanted to drive. He told me he was quite happy with the company.

    Hey sorry too hear about weiner you seemed too enjoy it there, if you dont mind the northeast I hear landspan is pretty good for teams. There out of el paso and there part of watkins pay is pretty decent too. But good luck with your job search bad time of year for that.

    My hubby found out about a local job hauling US Mail for 22 an hour and he's going over there to see if they will or won't hire him. If they do, we may end up both working for that company eventually. Or I may end up taking an inhome job and focusing on my son for the moment. I'd prefer to go back over the road, and save up money to build a house on my land >.> But my hubby wants to stay home more. We will see.
