    Well that is disappointing to hear, but not entirely unexpected. I think I will still apply to the other companies, but will add Western Express to the list as well.

    Given my situation would I have a better chance applying to local companies? As in not OTR?
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Local companies?

    Generally speaking...no...you will not have a better chance with local vs OTR.

    Note however...that McLane is local....& you would likely be home daily with that position.

    If they hire you -- I hope you are in very good physical condition.

    With food service delivery jobs -- you WILL need it.

    Western Express?

    Suggestion: Be an informed job searcher.

    Do a forum search...using the forum search box, above...type in "Western Express"...& read some of the more recent threads/posts on the search results.

    Then decide if WE is still a carrier you want to start out with learning the world of trucking....:confused: :eek:

    Maybe some local companies.
    Try Western Express first.
