    I currently have 5 months of experience I'm looking for something with a guarantee or at least hourly if That's possible. 1 preventable parking lot accident too because I was impatient and didn't take into account the swing of my trailer well enough.

    I need the gauruntee or hourly to help me get a house. I don't need a high gauruntee or anything. Or even a high hourly pay. Just something that will be adequate enough to satisfy the creditors. I tried Maverick but they aren't hiring in my area.

    It also doesn't have to be flatbed. I would just prefer flatbed.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    www.daseke.com may have something. One company on Daseke guarantees $1200 weekly; maybe more companies do similar on that website.

    Two of my relatives moved to Houston and found good deals on lake houses. They can afford to live in upscale neighborhoods, but prefer not to. The lake houses needed some work, but the prices were right.
    There's also www.rentown.net which may or may not be the best option, but does work for people with not the best credit.

    It's not my credit that is the problem. It's the variable income.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Try your local credit unions. They're easier to deal with.

    Houston, try Palletized Transportation. They have a terminal on Sheldon Rd past the Flying J on left.

    Times have changed, but I started out in the Houston area pulling a lowboy for a smaller construction company, it was hourly and LOTS of hourly, variable pay would not be a problem at all.
    I am sure there are still things like that around, on the fee days I had time not driving , they kept me around working in the shop or on a piece of equipment, they wanted me available at all times.
