I have 9 years exp, NEED A TRUCK!

Hey everyone, I have 9 years OTR EXP with my class A. I have hauld everything BUT cattle and cars. I have NO Felonies, NO DUI's.
What I do have is a family and kids!

The short version of my story... The last time I was in a truck, I owned my own 379 for a year hauling Hotoil (Asphalt Tanker) for Trojan Transport out of Austin, Tx., and Peanuts and Milo etc (Coverd wagons, hopper bottoms, live bottoms) for some farmers up in New Mexico. When the economy and deisel prices went bad, I got rid of my truck, and had the bright idea to go to automotive school to be a mechanic. BAD IDEA.

I have hauld reefer and dry van coast to coast and up in Canada, NEVER an accident. (Started that out with ole Dick Simon, and when they went under drover for Celadon for 2 years, got my fancy jacket and all)

There is more to my story, but im in a hurry to get this posted, and yes my driving history is bigger than this.

What im looking for - An OWNER OPERATOR to put me in one of his trucks makeing a good % of the loads, really dont like the CPM deal, I REALLY DO NOT want to drive for a big company. I dont wanna be connected to a QUALCOM and I dont want to deal with some dispatcher thats never ben in a truck telling me I cant go home for another week to see my kids. ALSO, and now im being picky, I would like to be in a PETE, but it dosent hafta be. Beggers cant be choosers...

Oh yea, im 39, and in #### good physical health, so FLATBED is fine, I enjoy getting out and doing something other than bouncing off the walls of my truck. (And I have 2 years exp with flatbed, oilfeild pipe and stone)

Ok, hope im not forgetting anything, if anyone has ANY ideas where I can find the job thats for me, please SEND ME A MESSAGE.

Thanks for reading, and look forward to hearing from EVERYONE!

OK, this SUCKS... I just found out a ticket I had gotten back in 2007, was for 75 in a 55. Thats what I get for ignoring it till later, forgetting about it till a year later, and paying it off when they sent me something in the mail saying I owed for an unpaid ticket, and paying that ticket without finding out what it was for.
Looks like im out of the trucking bidniss till OCT of 2010, unless I can find someone willing to ignore that crap.
I seriously hate the government... They dont care WHO'S life they mess up.
