    You cannot be vague.

    I quit worrying about those who are vague or don't share details long ago.

    You have drivers. But GOOD drivers? Those are the thing.

    You are going to need to explain and answer a awful lot of questions before you get a driver who wants to marry your driving job so to speak.

    The problem you have starts at the beginning of a drivers career. The schools these days are an absolute joke. I was recently in the Seattle area working and there were numerous schools started by Serbians and Russians and hajibs. They were training theses drivers with automatic Volvo’s pulling 20’ and 40 ‘ trailers. There is not a concise regulated system to train drivers. The FMCSA is more focused on regulating a drivers sleep. Of course when you have the head of a government regulatory organization like the FMCSA , with no real life experience in the industry they are regulating. You are going to get the type of driver we’re have today. As long as companies can blow the crap out of their CSA score, fold up and reinvent themselves underneath another MC number. Your going to have the drivers we have today. It’s not the drivers fault. They are not trained right. You want good drivers?
    Create a sound informative driving school and start a new breed. Because what you have to choose from today, wear flip flops on the fuel island.

    Where you located? Pay for my CDL school and a decent cpm. Then I'll give at least a year. A small sign on bonus to help me move would help as well. But that can be negotiated wythe cpm. I've got a disbled fiance. So regional would keep me close to her for emergencies. This post isn't a joke. I am serious. It'd allow me to make the move sooner. As right now I'm saving for the move.

    I have 20+ years experience cross-country and local with all kinds of loads, dry van, reefer, tanker. In did early retirement. I mean I "retired" at 50 years old. I'd like to return to driving but let my CDL expire. Depending on where you are it might be a win-win for us both. I use your truck/trailer to get my CDL reinstated and then I'd drive for you. ??????
