    Yes, as stated I will have to switch my license to Washington to get hired.
    I have no interest in hiring on with anyone out of Alaska.
    I want to run the lower 48..
    Determined to go team again.

    So......to recap....you want to run team...with a company that will hire you out of Washington State.

    Also: you'd like to run pretty much all of the lower 48.

    But....for the moment....you're being bullied/picked on because your last OTR was over 4 years ago.

    Does that basically sound correct?

    Yes that’s correct… however I didn’t see it as being bullied… just the industry standards now. I get it.
    But I’m a good driver and I know there is still a place for me somewhere.
    My record is perfect.. I can drive anything. I am polite, kind and a good runner.
    I am not a foofoo queen. I live alone off grid in a cabin in Alaska. I don’t need pampering. I’m just a driver that needs a job.

    You sound like you'd be perfect for the job....you really just need some carrier to give you a chance....

    I get it than home & home time is not that important to you.

    However -- we both know you'll have to put SOMETHING for an address on that shiny new, hot-rod CDL you'll get down here.....:D

    Plus -- some sort of domicile will help target more specific opportunities for you.

    You may not care -- but I think some carriers might.....:dontknow:
