Starting at Schneider

At OD we have to have doubles/triples, haz, and tanker to get hired. I'm assuming it's the same for our LTL competitors. Getting into LTL is definitely the way to make killer money and be home daily.

 

Yep that’s the same at most LTL’s. XPO needs that and my current employer needs it.

 

Keep that end goal in mind, it will happen and you and the missus will be wearing ear to ear smiles then.

Safe travels driver...

 

Cherokee65,
Just take it one day at a time to be sure you are OK to handle the job. Before long you will be smiling with a new set of pearly whites. Good luck

 

Run optimized idle. If your dtl has an issue ask for a sit down with them and the ops manager.

 

Stay warm and ignore them and look for a job.

 

Go with what gentleroger suggested above.

Especially given the current CDL job market -- I would not look for another driving job...until you've been at "Big Orange" for AT LEAST ONE YEAR.

This minimum level of tenure at your first CDL carrier will make it easier for you to get other driving jobs, later.

In the meantime -- make that later job hunt much more lucrative ----> go get those tanker &/or hazmat endorsements (if you don't have both, already).

If you can put those endorsements on future job applications -- you will look more attractive to prospective CDL employers.
