    You’ve got a pedigree for success in this business, should you keep after it. Good luck.

    >>thanks in advance I’m in nyc! Looking to do sponsored cdl w/ swift, Schneider, prime, crst or another. I have the money to pay the cdl back so I can I guess have freedom from contract. Thought of paying for school local but 7yrs ago dui the sponsors seem as though enough time has passed. Sponsorship advised to me to have a better success rate of being hired.

    Is this $ 2k gravel hauling a thing everywhere. For me making that monthly would be absolutely great open to any /all advice and again thanks!

    Forget Schneider; the pay is too low and problems with trucks breaking down. These two issues are posted on this forum often.
    What's the $2G gravel hauling?

    Thank you for the assist will check the companies you advised. The gravel $2G hauling was referenced to
    NORTH POLE NIGHTMARE SAID:
    “I worked there a few years ago,I made it 3 weeks.$300 paychecks 2 weeks in a row was enough for me.Most of my time was wasted waiting to get loaded or unloaded.I get to the warehouse on time but there is 20 trucks ahead of me.Theres only 1 guy in the warehouse that can run the forklift,so 14 hours later I get loaded.I quickly figured out I was just getting trailers loaded,then taking them to a lot somewhere and drop it.Then someone else would come get the load and deliver it.
    I gave up on Schneider and went home,back to hauling gravel for 2k a week and going home every night.”
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    i have no issue traveling to school. But I want to bust my butt and make the dough.
    Current job is IT tech support. I am committed to going forward but unsure any companies that pay like Alaska construction and can return me to the ny nj Connecticut tri-state.
     
    Maverick Griff Thanks this.
