    Do keep us posted on your progress.

    In many places -- hiring is slow right now....especially for new(er) drivers.

    It is what it is.

    Going forward -- strong patience is key to success in this market.

    Has a driver no-touch-freight division.
    Maybe will cut some slack on you being just 3 miles outside the hiring area.

    This is yet another reason why I suggested Swift, earlier (i.e., no routine commute to the Atlanta area):

    Swift Transportation Statesboro, GA Terminal

    You might ask a recruiter when this terminal will be up & running (OR -- is it, already)?
