    I just now completed and passed the required ELDT Hazmat Theory course with a score of 97. It has already been sent to FMCSA. Next step is the TSA background check.

    You'll be rolling soon.
    DOT is a good choice; maybe you'll be hired there now.

    We haven't heard anything about that or we would have done something about it. If you've got more information to share, please PM me so we can look into it.

    Also, if any members are receiving PM's from recruiters, please report the PM's so we can remedy that situation. Thank you.
     
    Stringb8n, kemosabi49, James G and 4 others Thank this.

    The only thing I don't like about Dot is I hear they don't let you drive the truck home on off time and I live 103 miles away from there.

    Get a used military Vespa with sidecar. Carry your dirty clothes in the sidecar.

    Lol I don't know if I'd call myself a hillbilly, I grew up in Murfreesboro, but it was definitely the small town, everyone knows everyone vibe. Yeah man, I'm high on Empire Express. I saw one of their trucks pulling a flatbed recently so they may be expanding their horizons. They're into the hazmat freight so that's an option for the dry van hazmat haulers.
     
    James G and Chinatown Thank this.

    Not harash at all, This is a public forum, You invite comments when posting here. my opinions are honest a arrived at from years of driving and watching what happens. If you cant take this you certainly are not ready for wha is to come. trucking life is no picnic, its tough. And if your not man enough to face the true, You have failed before you started. You already have one failed career on your hands,
