    Yeah let us know how it goes. I wouldn't waste my time sending emails with resumes or filling out online apps. Just make a list of real phone numbers you can call. If you think you're talking to a recruiter i would hang up. If you think you are talking to a no nonsense salt of the earth person who needs drivers then say you are safe, have experience and can start anytime. Boom goes the dynamite.

    I worked for a grocery hauler one time that was headquartered in Oklahoma City, but the division I was in, is in Tennessee, about a mile from where I was living.

    Where a company is based doesn't necessarily mean they don't have local and or regional ops going on elsewhere.
    Years ago I worked for a tanker company based 1300 miles from where I was a yrd spotter for them at one their customers.
    Take that company lazerspot for example, based in Houston tx I believe but has local operations all over.

    i have been offered a B class job with a local door company. $13 per hour PLUS 17 cpm about 1,000 miles per week. it will average out to around $700 per week but steady word. i am wondering does having B class van still adds experience to my MVR. i told this company that i would accept the job offer but that was before company #2 called me.

    the other application i put out also might give me a road test today. its a local milk hauling company. $160 per day 6 days a week so about $900. i worked in the diary industry previously so i am aware of the potentially long, long hours. this job would be class A.

    so what do you guys think? hauling milk or class B door hauling?
