    Sounds like he just didn’t have the balls to say he wasn’t interested to your face.

    Maybe if you offered to pay for the drug test as well as the free work? Then you would have been a shoe in one of the best companies man has made. LMFAO

    So what's your deal?
    You've been here a couple of months asking about all kinds of companies.
    But can't seem to land a job.
    So is it, lack of experience, bad driving record or your a troll?
     
    RedForeman and rank Thank this.

    How does that work.....shouldn’t you have your own truck in that case?

    I know quite a few oo's that sold their trucks and drive for somebody else, some retired, some probably went under, some just getting rid of the headache.
    I have several trucks paid for, I just run one at a time, keep two insured, but still park them and run someone elses from time to time, when the money is right.

    A 14 lb Papillion? That's not a dog, that's a furry bowling ball.
