    currently i work for sygma, they have been dogging me since i got my cdl. basically you deliver food to certain stores while driving and you have an electronic log, i've only had my cdl since april and they were sending me on one man runs, it's all well and good if you have very specific directions to stores and how to deliver them but if you have to screw around trying to figure out how to deliver then, well...time flys. needless to say the last couple runs they put me on went horrible. last run i made a wrong turn and was going to just hang a u and get turned around, well i noticed a cop behind me so i decided against it. i followed my Garmin 465 and made a left, a left and lights went on. pulled me over for being off the truck route, geneva NY. So, sygma might fire me because of this, depending if it was a moving violation or not. which i asked the cop and he had no clue, what the fine would be and how many points i would get.


    so needless to say i will probably be looking for a new job, i was wondering who would hire me since i've only had my cdl since april and i don't have haz mat or doubles. I live in Harrisburg, PA and have applied to a couple companies but every place i go to apply at, you need at least a year experience and haz mat.

    i just need to make at least 1500 a month to cover my bills. any suggestions? even if i could work a crappy job for 9 months to get my full year of experience.

    Well, you shouldn't have any problem making $1500 a month. You might wind up biting the bullet and going to Swift or someplace like that who hires anyone. These days its tough with the economy the way it is.
