    Sorry, I understand what you were asking now. I couldn't tell you anything about that. You can talk to recruitment down at corporate and they would likely be able to help you. You usually have to pull for a while before getting AA&E clearance here. You also MUST be a team driver.

    sheepdog, I highly recommend that you do repair your credit, even if you don't intend to use it. The reason is because everybody else uses it. I also believe it's better to pay cash whenever possible. But companies, such as your auto insurance company base your premium cost on your credit. Also homeowners insurance and many companies you may wish to work for.
    I lost my wife to Cancer in June, 2006. First she had breast Cancer, and no sooner did she go into remission for that then she got lung Cancer. To make a long story short, she battled it for almost 12 years off and on, and by the time she passed away, my credit score was 320. Obviously, paying for medicine was more important that our regular bills.
    Anyway, I started out with a secured credit card, payed the bills on time, added cards when I could, and always pay my bills on time. I now have 5 cards with almost zero balances, as I only carry a small balance there to make it look good. My credit scores are now in the low 700's. That took a little over 5 years to do, and my auto insurance and homeowners insurance is lower as a result.
    I also have a bankruptcy from 2003 on my file, and a home repo and a car repo. It isn't the end of the world. I pay with cash whenever possible, and I use the cards to pay my bills, then pay the card the bill amount, which makes my credit look better without actually using it.
    Good luck. Stay safe out there.

    I am a veteran USMC, I have been on at LS for ten years and a team for 6 years and I have a new truck and trailer. I have never done A&E and have done just fine. I don't care what anyone says, you can make money at LS regardless of what kind of truck or trailer you have. Sometimes I have had to borrow money on credit, but I always paid it back and then made even more. After ten years at LS I am doing well. I have all the work I want and all the time off I want. I don't like the EOBR requirement and I encourage everyone at LS to peacefully argue against this. EOBR's don't belong on owner operator trucks unless they are voluntarily added, not mandated. The good ole' paper log works just fine and it is free!
