    Put in an application at Roehl, they're a pretty good company IMO.

    I feel for you dude
    I declared bankruptcy in 2010 at 57 years old after owning my own business for over 30 years
    same year wife went out on disability and never received benefits until 6/2014
    lost the house lived in the truck suffered on a fleece lease from TransAm
    but it gets better
    eventually all the back disability money comes in
    and I have a great job with new equipment and enough miles to make me beg them to stop
     
    The_Dude, joseph1135 and 88 Alpha Thank this.

    I picked companies based on your wife needing to ride in comfort due to her back problems.

    You better be careful if you choose Crete, some of the Cascadias have the spring ride seats on the passenger side.
    That's a rough ride for a healthy person

    I went to Crete last year with less than a year experience and made $600 a week in training which was more money than I was making as a Solo OTR driver at my previous company lol
