    I remember when I started in the pipe trades. I caught a break. First day they put me right to work running no-hub for vents.

    Here’s the kicker though. It was on the same jobsite where I just quit the drywall crew. :biggrin_25523:

    Hey guys, thanks for the info. Swifts offering me 50 CPM on a regional account out of Greer. Waiting for it in writing. Their equipment seems solid. I’m sure I’ll deal with some mega carrier issues but the plan is to survive 6 months and look elsewhere.

    The ones in my area won’t take me without any experience. I’m a few months shy of 1 year.

    One of the conditions when I got hired as a newly licensed driver was that I had to have obtained my cdl within the past 6 months.

    Great! Glad you found something. Just learn, take your time and do your best. My best advice is never, ever rush yourself. It is never worth it and causes problems.
