    @Chinatown not sure if britton changed their policy, but just got off the phone with them. 23 is their age limit currently. They did tell me they were very impressed with me and wanted me to contact them in two years though.

    There you go.

    KEEP. YOUR. NOSE. CLEAN. 2 years. Young master. You gotta.

    After your second year, you will literally be embraced by some of the very best companies around the USA.

    McKesson would be one to look at out of Memphis. High dollar loads that are unloaded for you and reloaded with cardboard straight back to memphis.
     
    Planeman09 Thanks this.

    Yeah. I'm just trying to find a company I can ride out to get my time in. I don't want to be jumping around and look like I have a terrible work ethic.

    Did you hear anything from Schneider Bulk. Someone posted a couple days ago they were hired to work out of the Bessemer facility.

    I missed a call from them and haven't been able to get back in touch. They gave me a pre hire and said they would keep in touch throughout my training. But I have read that miles are down right now.

    I tend to take the attitude that miles smiles. It's not meant to be mean, truckers have to be able to function at 20 miles a work week or 20000 miles a work week. It's a bit much the hyperbole but you get my meaning?
     
    Planeman09 Thanks this.

    Even if miles are down, go for it anyway. Six mos later move to A&R Logistics in Decatur. Check their website. $62K - $72K per year. Tanker work is great!
     
    x1Heavy and Planeman09 Thank this.

    I saw an add fro them just could not find their website. Sounds like you just need experience and they will train for their equipment. But I could see where having tank experience would set you higher
     
    x1Heavy Thanks this.
