new driver (3 mnths) with a question

Didnt read the whole thing so sorry if this has been said but if henderson is willing to work with you while your wife is sick why would you leave? Wont find many companies willing to do that.

 

I dont care what websites say about experience still put an app in. Worse they are going to do is tell you no. They could be hard up for a driver and you miss a golden opportunity. Apply .

As far as USA Truck. Their equipment is crap. I was there for year and a half. Only money to be made is on regional. But lot of it is bait and switch too. Example I was running Amazon from Chattanooga to across the border of TN/MS. Just south of Memphis. After 6 weeks went home. Came back and all sudden that was gone. Then ran Lexington, KY to Kenosha WI. 460 miles each way then got stuck northern KY to WI and lost about 200 per run. Point is not worth the headache.

Im a yard jockey and I know we have JNJ Express or Enterprieses coming in. Very good equipmemt. They are out of Memphis.

Good bunch of drivers post on there every day. They'll tell it like it is working there.

 

Yeah but its harder than you think. Where I am at there are some really tight doors. Ive used my 2 years otr experience a lot. From how to fix things on the truck, communicating with drivers on where to go and understanding how the truck and trailer bends, and getting stubborn doors to shut.

Also, check out Driving Ambition. They are temp agency for truckers. That is how I found this. They only work in certain areas but they are good and only need 6 months for a lot of assignments. They have local regional and otr. If they are not in your area see if there are other temp agencies in your area that work with truckers.
