    I guess. That doesn't mean I have a job though

    Was at 10 places before landes last one...and it really.didn't start or end well.

    Back in same boat, but I have 4 possbiliies at once now instead of 1 a week .Doesn't mean I got it

    It takes time.Because you don't have the exp but companies will still accept your application gets put at the bottom if they find a qualified driver.But that doesn't mean they won't hire you later on.I say tomorrow give your resume to that rolloff job and who knows they may call a lot sooner then you think.

    Will do. This industry isn't like any other job where you just walk in start working

    Few employers like inexpierenced.

    Going to sleep been searching all day. That crash truck was 10x easier than the dump truck I started in

    It was auto too... But just the size made a big difference to

    So far I've driven a international tandem straight tractor conversion

    International work star dump truck

    Lil mack granite or whatever it was.


    Going to meet 6 speed reefer owner operator in morning and making phone calls dropping off resumes to these other potential places I talked to today/yesterday

    Truck seems rusted to ####


    The fact he didn't bother to even meet me. Said 2 week trial....will have someone come out with me for a week. O think he won't pay me.... Gut feeling is something isn't right here

    Keep looking you can do much better.If the trk doesn't meet your expectations chances are they still won't once you start driving it.I think this guy will pay you but not what you're worth.You have the strive to succeed I can tell that.You'll find something soon.

    Fhh

    Something wasn't right. If I didn't meet him today. Am I going to meet him payday time?

    I can't find this company listed anywhere

    Buddy was the guy sitting across street laughing. When I pulled a uie his face dropped

    I think that was him

    He talked to me on phone told me where truck was and told me to take a look

    Met the truck, not him

    Went to rolloff place after, told them I'm willing to learn on my own time

    Kind of would rather go there...then who knows what happens next. Strange he didn't meet me face to face....will he meet me face to face when its payday? I doubt it

    Not looking to be dicked around with again

    That guy sitting there might have been him might have not....

    Doesn't seem right eitherway

    Got a bad feeling about it
