    Alright guys.

    Got laid off my job here in Northern Virginia. I still have my CDL most recent driving experiance November 2019. I've driven with my CDL for 14 Months. I've held my CDL for 19 months.

    Wanting to find a decent company to get with. I know there's coronavirus going on but some of my guys in the industry said they've been running non-stop with food and supply loads.

    I can get started immediately. Clean MVR, No tickets, DOT card is still good. Just can't exactly afford to be at my house right now.

    Thanks for any and all help. I've called some local trucking companies and they all said they are not hiring new employees right now.

    Reefer companies are the way to go these days.
    Food, medical supplies, that people and organizations need right now.
    Which town/city are you in or near?
    ~
    Are you strictly solo or will you run teams?

    a lot of those guys are home every weekend if they chose to do so.

    I'm closest to DC. Richmond is fine though. I can get down there pretty easily. I'm willing to run solo or teams. Just looking to get started as soon as possible.

    I'll give you more names; you'll probably have job offers today.
