    I’ll need a new med card, darn thing expired on me this month, but definitely able to obtained.

    i lay it all out there, even a little personal, but to make it work I’d need to earn roughly 80k a year. May not be possible, but I’ve got to try. Those darn kids are expensive.

    i want a smaller company that’s willing to give me a small refresher course with someone experienced. My day to day driving is fine, but getting into those docks cause me a lot of anxiety!

    let’s hear those good companies, papa needs a new home!

    fully endorsed, just need a new med card. Based out of the upper lower peninsula of Michigan

    Since you are fully "endorsated") and don't like the docks, you may look into tanker company. They are usually straight in straight out and pay well.

    I thought that tanker is a much easier to back in than a high cube. Lower, more visible around it, easy)

    Pretty sure most of the chemical facilities I've delivered to were discovered by Christopher Columbus lol pull in and the guy says "you're going into that pipe back there"

    Oh, you mean the one across the railroad tracks, between those 2 dumpsters and behind that building at the bottom of the hill?

    Go to some tanker terminals and talk to the terminal manager. It may say you need tank experience online but they are needing drivers and the terminal manager is the one that does the hiring. I know there are some around Saginaw and Dana has one in Midland.
