    Years ago, it was 9 axles or more, nondivisible load. Nowadays, it’s anything that is permitted “superload” as defined by the State/Province. 107k is every truck, every day of the week on the US/Canadian border.

    I was wondering why you had a video game picture as your Avatar. Didn't strike me as the type.

    That’s EXACTLY what I’m suggesting! That’s how you get a job, now just follow up. And don’t wait - keep looking and knocking on doors.
    Good luck!

    The reason I suggested your boots should look well worn is because a couple of years ago I walked into a heavy haul company to fill out an application. I was wearing brand new boots I just bought from Boots Barn. The first thing the terminal manager said was, "New boots?"
