    I can get that stuff but I’d have to ask my ex and it was easier to wait on the DAC report . It should be here in the next couple of days.
    Don’t be sorry. The funniest part is my sons name is literally Luke. Wish I was lying

    I’m open to true OTR to get my feet wet as long as the company I signed on with knew it would be for no more than a year. I’ve made peace with a temporarily small hiring pool.

    At the very least, if you submit the short app. from the websites, the companies know you're not just some bored trucker making phone calls. You took the time to submit the app. before calling.

    Yeah I’ve been doing some short apps. I don’t think I’ve submitted any full applications yet. Only called a couple places like Marten, Roehl, Veriha. Those were the best Midwest regional companies I remember from pre-2020

    How is someone supposed to earn money to pay child support, when cdl privileges are revoked, or subject is jailed?

    Agreed. To make it even better, I was told over the phone multiple times by different ppl that the ONLY way to fix my license was by paying thousands that A- I didn’t owe, and B- I didn’t have. So I chalked up my CDL as gone bcuz it is set to expire before I anticipated any outcome. Turns out they lied, as long as you begin to pay your original support order with an additional 20 percent, they will release the hold on your license, but they won’t tell you that, and they won’t tell you they released it. I only found out by doing a search thru an a.i. app so I called Secretary of State and they confirmed and took no responsibility.

    That child support is a motha you know what man. In Tennessee, it only took for me to get 1500 behind before they started trying to suspend my license. I swear when I make my final payment, I'm leaving the country for a while.

    It’s terrible. The rate of suicides in single fathers is astronomical. I can see how and it’s really sad. I got lucky, by the grace of God, that I double backed and checked into it before I lost it for good. Others have not been so lucky.
