    I remember you posting a few months back, asking questions about every bottom of the barrel, crap company around. I, and many others, tried hard to direct you away from them. I'm curious last to where you ended up and how long you stayed there. OTR is tough at first, regardless of where you begin. There is much to learn and to adapt to and the plain truth is, it's not for everyone.

    As far as food service goes, they're all screaming for drivers but their hiring process can drag out for quite some time.

    I wasn't sure what to make of your post. You went otr, didn't like it, then Pepsi, and safety issues. Now Chinatown comes here and provides a viable option, and it's another excuse that it is double the milage or whatever. I am wondering, at 21 years old, if you are having bad luck, or making excuses for not wanting to work. I dunno.

    See if any companies are hiring for yard jockeys in your area. That is what I do and I make great money. Make more doing this, then I did otr, local, or for reinhart.
