    :biggrin_25526:Hi,
    The recruiters at USA trucking are RUDE, just my opinion, in fact I have found female recruiters to be rude.
    The recruiter from Schneider was ever so nice.:biggrin_25526: A MAN!

    EVERYONE HAD TO START SOMEWHERE, there are other industrys hirting for me I have thought about being a truck driver many times and there is never the perfect time to be new in any work force, look at all the college grads that cant find a job,so sorry that new people entering the work force makes it tough for you its tough for everyone what about your reality check

    The past month I've been out of work after having surgery . I'll be out another 2 weeks . But when I drive it goes like this . I go to the terminal 10 minutes from the house . I get a preloaded trailer and drive about 400 miles to 500 miles then stop , usually at a Flying J with WiFi . The next day I drive 50 - 150 miles , spend an average 2 hours unloading . The trailers are dedicated and go back to the terminal empty . Miles are paid round trip .Then I do it again .

    New people entering the work force doesn't make it tough for me except having to deal with their sloppy maneuvering on the highway . But the truth is many of them will never enter the work force . http://www.jsonline.com/business/36788039.html . Since this article was written in December over 80,000 more people have lost their jobs in the industry and trucking schools have probably turned out several thousand graduates . So it sure isn't a perfect time . So go ahead and keep thinking about driving because you won't likely get further than that . You might as well apply for a job at a GM assembly plant . The odds of getting a job are the same .

    Like I said;.. You are better than a Dictionary, and right on the mark with trucking news !

    It's nice to see a 5 star General, being truthful, and honest with new people...

    Thanks , but too many of them prefer to listen to the lies of recruiters and trucking school staff . They like their ears tickled .
    2 Timothy 4:3,4–”For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires; and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.”
