    I would think a year of safe driving would be plenty. I switched to LTL linehaul after 21 years of beverage sales and delivery.

    I don’t know about now, but years ago most of those companies wanted 5 years experience.

    The problem is a year of experience should be
    enough but in these current times drivers with many more years of experience are also applying to the same jobs . That’s why he’s probably not getting calls back

    Shaw Industries in Wentzville has ads once in a while. Is that too far from you?
