    you have too many," I don't want to do that or this" in your job search for only 6 months experience.

    I had a lot them too, only after years of experience..

    try LTL companies for "dock to tractor" program.

    I know, and this is my problem, but I didnt pay 4500$ to do something I dont want to.
    Example is concrete mixer. Silvi in PA they are hiring, but I dont wanna drive concrete mixer truck.
    Only yard jockey spotter I found is lazer spot, but this is not gonna be like experience for future job, that way its not worth it to spend here 6 months

    TransAm is 11 days with a trainer. One of their trainers used to post on here and lived in New Jersey. Smith & Solomon was one of his recruiting stops.
