    $25 for Class-A is pretty good. Most mail contractors want one year experience, so maybe he lucked out on this job.

    Only downfall I see with it is it is a split shift that works six days a week

    Wasn't up to par with Magnum's "standards" even though they knew I was a recent graduate. I took it in stride and just saw it as an opportunity to grow and prove to myself I can do this.

    Get back on the road as soon as you can. Plenty more companies to choose from.
    Maybe check some dry van companies:
    West Side Transport
    Halvor Lines
    Abilene Motor Express
    USA Truck
    Transport America

    I at least got to get a taste of what OTR would consist of before I went back home. I may stick it out here for awhile and stay close to home. If that mail contracting gig is still open I'll try hone my skills until I'm ready to move on to better things.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.
