    The only time I had so much stress in trucking, is when at the DOT physical, with my blood pressure ha ha ha

    Hi China, I'm a new CDL holder. I am looking for a company that is close to my location (Iowa) and is willing to work with new drivers. I have a newborn baby, so good home time would be a plus. I have all my endorsements except doubles and triples, as I don't want to mess around with something of that nature. Thanks in advance for your reply

    With a family started -- you need real paychecks, asap.

    Thus -- if you can -- go straight into tanker duty.

    See if these people will hire you (it's food-grade tanker work) -- by submitting a COMPLETE application on-line, first (then call them in about a week; ask 'em about the status of your application):
