Have CDL, no school, no OTR experience

Just something to think about, since he has some off road experience. On most years there are a couple of companies in this area that would hire him to run a side and or belly dump in the summer months, if you only need to replace 50 to 60 grand a year, then go back to Mt and take the winter off.

 

Company I used to drive for up there went to2 years exp. In last 3 years due to insurance co.

 

There is a couple of gravel companies that would probably work around it. If a guy doesn't live here, it is pretty much a 2 years deal to haul freight, but there are a couple of companies that have helped a guy get his license and hired them with no experience.

 

Sadly Watkins Shepard is no more. Schneider suddenly shut down that division of the company along with their final mile division. This happened a few months back, I remember reading about it somewhere.

 

I hate to say it but C.R. England probably has some dedicated accounts up there. Send husband to school in Salt Lake City for about two months and he'll return as a shiny new professional driver with a big red truck. If him already possessing a CDL is an issue, simply have him surrender it to local DMV and start from scratch

I've met a ton of friendly folk in their 60's in relatively similar predicaments while at C.R. some of which I still chat with time to time. Apparently the benefits are really good.

 

Nope not in montana they dont

 

Had a supervisor tell me montana was the most beautiful place a guy could starve. He only wanted pay $13 hour for local job. T hats why I went otr back then lol

 

Rent double there from here.

 

Ah shucks perhaps regional will work. Or school bus driver.

 

Prime in Salt Lake City. He could go through their school and get paid decently during the road training.
