good evening,
It's been a while since I've posted. I'd like to apologize if I offended anybody. The last time I posted I believe I said I could not find a company. With my driving record now clean, I'm turning my attention to having a better life for myself.
that being said, i've searched for companies left and right that are willing to give me a chance. I know the chances of me getting a job are better than last time. I have a clean driving record, and a current employer who actually wants me to go truck driving because they feel that's what I want to do and are willing to support me and let me come back in case it doesn't work out.
With that being said I have narrowed my list to three companies. If there are any more you feel I need to check out, please let me know.
Heartland Express
WEL Companies
Swift
thank you so much for your time. I know I'm sort of beating a dead horse but I'm tired of living a mediocre life. I have no intention of taking the calculated risk without doing my nitty-gritty research which is why I'm on here.

let me give you a little bit of background on myself since I have last posted. I work for a gas station chain and one of my regular customers is a 5,000,000 mile driver over at Walmart out of South Carolina. whenever I work overnight, I always make sure there's a fresh hotdog for him or I personally make him breakfast.201 and nextgentrucker Thank this. -
