    Gashauler...I believe he was just looking for a little direction...Sometimes we all need a little pat on the back and an encouraging word...The sky is not falling, All is not lost...Sometimes when we get knocked down, it's hard to want to get back up again. But when we're ready, it helps to get good advice vs. no advice at all.

    Sorry, you're right. Even I get down with repetitive questions but that's no excuse. Our job is to teach our experiences.

    Go work for a ltl company. You might have to shovel #### for a few years but it will pay off in the long run. These truck stop magazine companies are a dead end street.

    one guys suggest Jb Hunt. They wont hire with less than 2 years driving. I think major carriers your best bet is swift, They hire Illegals with fake ID's or atleast they used to till they got in trouble. Check the web maybe local company sites and look into craigslist. there are smaller companies out there that can take you but you have to find them. and being in CT the major carriers will be tough.
