    If this doesn't work, then you'll just have to call and say the application on the website isn't working.

    Mabe's doesn't say anything about needing recent experience. I thunk they were also a second chance.

    Well, submitted the app and about 10 mins later, Josh calls me.. My location is "well out of their hiring area at the moment", but if anything comes up, he'll let me know. :\ (Western Express)

    Something will hit soon. Lots of dump truck outfits around Houston; maybe one of those just to get the career back in gear.

    If you have been clean for 9 years -- you might try Wiley Sanders Truck Lines:

    Trucking Jobs | 48 States | Family-Owned | Haul |Trucking Fleet | Wiley Sanders | Competitive Pay | Trucking Careers | Troy, Alabama

    As recommended above, in earlier posts:
    • Submit a COMPLETE application first -- then follow up with a call....about a week later....tell them "I'm just checking on the status of my application"
    • When filling out the application -- provide ONLY the info requested -- & NOTHING ELSE. "Loose lips sink ships"...:(
