    Find a small outfit, like 10 trucks or less. They’ll probably hire you without all that messing around.

    I've thought about it, I pulled dairy tanker back in the late 90's, it was transport instead of farm pickup, the company that I drove for sold off their tanks and went to dump trucks instead.

    HT Bar, Inc. here in DFW, Texas is a small outfit (50 trucks) that runs refrigerated freight, good safer score last time I checked. They run decent equipment and they seem to run a relaxed 2500-2800 miles a week.

    Yeah, several companies will hire you. We'll find something for you very soon.
    Edit: The economy is growing and trucking companies must hire to keep up!

    Submit the short apps. off each website before calling. Then tomorrow, call and say something like, "I want to check on my driving job application."
