    If you went to and paid for trucking school, don't they have "placement assistance"??

    Most school do,but it is primarily for OTR with BFI's. Thats the reason why I,m here in Texas searching for something a bit better. I figure if you are going to be away from your family,you might as well get paid for it. 1700 miles a week at 26_30cpm just doesnt cut it.

    LTL has its ups and downs but you can still get hired as a noob. Its spring time and freight levels are up. So nows the time to try. Not going to an accreditted school might hurt you though

    Then you may very well be S.O.L.

    Best of luck to you, but I do not see you getting a job without schooling.

    He IS and many LTL companies WILL NOT HIRE someone like that, UNLESS they put him on the docks.

    Must be nice to not have gone to school and "think" you're gonna get whatever you want.

    He ain't got a snowball's chance in (you know where).
