New grad...still looking for first job

Might want to see what food-grade tankers are in your area maybe? I know my CDL instructor put in a good word for me at a local joint where I'm at. Probably the only reason I'm still being considered. Their insurance may not be as picky since it's not typically hazmat.

Does Roehl require the contract even if coming on already licensed? It doesn't seem too terrible to me as you'd want a minimum of 6 months anywhere you go regardless.

Where is "out west"?

 

Appreciate your input but my mind is made up. I'll always have the option to get back into medicine down the road since I have my degree.

I'll here a definite yes/no tomorrow on my first choice flatbed company.

 

Britton Transport. Smaller outfit out of Grand Forks, ND. Flatbed dispatched out of Sioux Falls, SD. I think around 100 trucks counting owner ops. Flat/van/reefer. We'll see.

 

DUI that's less than 5 years old (just over 4 years ago now).

I was also hit by someone blowing a stop sign a year ago. Lady offered to pay for the damages at "the body shop I use for all my work" if I didn't call the cops. I felt uncomfortable about it as I've never been in an accident before and decided to file police report. Cop shows up, lady changes her story, cop says "I'll just let the insurance companies figure it out". No citations but listed as "accident" on my mvr.

 

That makes sense. I'm just trying to avoid a company where the trainer has but 6 months more experience than me.

I know a local tanker company that uses hotels while training. One in truck, the other in the hotel every night. I'm sure those companies are very few.
