    Well I got a "after careful consideration" email from yellow frieght, dear John msg.
    I've got a lot of apps out and we'll see if it's a trend. But cre is waiting there like the ugliest chick at closing time and I may have to go there and make the best of it. They are ready to put me on a bus asap. I'm still looking into CDL schools in my area.
    I'm also considering class b as well.

    I was delivering Amazon pkgs the other day and the guy mentioned he was a truck driver. I mentioned how I was trying to get back in and he said it was real bad right now and to wait til February. But I think he was talking out of our area of the country (Mexican border). But I've always had to see for my self. My parents were from Missouri.

    Leave the fatty at the bar. Its not last call just yet.
    Its in most facets of the industry, and like ZZ Top, nationwide. Dry van rates have crashed, fuel is sky high, and repair parts are scarce. Companies are parking their trucks left and right.

    Look into reefer companies (besides CRE), as they still have the freight volume. I know my phone has been ringing off the hook from drivers who have been idled, whether by rates, fuel, or breakdown. Maybe check with KLLM/FFE?

    You are right. It is lots of stops and hand unload for everything.

    Why ask the question if you have already decided? You are choosing the option with the lowest possibility of success.
