    Lol that's 7 jobs since I graduated in 2006. My family said once I move out I couldn't come back so I worked 3 jobs or more at the same time so I always paid my bills. I'm working at my 3rd trucking company!

    Then you would be dropped from consideration if you could not produce acceptable proof. I worked for Linde and Praxair both and they checked every detail on my app.

    The irony for me here is when Linde division became Praxair I had to re-apply for my job. So I decided to have some fun with it, I filled out about 25 OTR mini apps in the trucker mags and sent them off. They started checking on me and my boss asked if I was leaving........ I told him he made me re-apply for my job breeding uncertainty so I had to be ready for a negative decision........that left him a little tight for a while......and he actually behaved himself for a bit.

    Im now working for color spot, the guy training me showed me his last paycheck which has his year to date earnings. As of Oct. 3 he has made $69,456 and has 2/12 months left, with one month being busy...delvering xmas plants.

    You only make $120 a day driving the truck! The money comes in if you break down the racks. He has made an additional $33,509 this year doing that! It's very hard work I will not deny that and I'm in great shape and even shoot testosterone. This guy is bigger than me so the work is easier for him but tough nontheless!

    He like myself is a college grad, A&M economics and a masters from Villanova. So he works smart. He brings back more racks than everyone else the other "drivers" say and in doing so he is on track for respectable income.

    Trucking is much like the rest of the world (except many more drivers are fat, lazy, reclusive) work hard get paid!

    Some of us will go out and make what we need/want where ever we happen to live. Others will take the EASY job then complain and be resentful of the worker bees.

    Can you make 100K in trucking, the oil patch, hauling cars, specialized flatbeding and like I've found hauling plants ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Will most drivers work this hard nit on your ####### life! So go iut there educate youself on whatever profession your in aspire to be more, have respect for your self and others, keep your eye on the prize and WORK HARD TO GET THERE.

    Spend time saying "no you can't, no you didn't " and all that other Fing garbage and just keep calling youself "a truck driver" because thats all you are. Most are the salt of the earth and I admire them for their skills but alas I have chose to make the kinda of money others say you cannot ! I will........nothing will stop me.....I WILL NEVER BE THE 99% I WANT MORE FOR MY CHILDREN

    Keeping people distracted is what propagates a "working class" joblist. Think, Think again , then think some more?

    What can YOU DO, what do YOU have to OFFER, where do YOU shine.?

    When are YOU ready take your shot?

    Are you thinking about what is NOT POSSIBLE, in YOUR minds eye OR are you CAREFULLY comtemplating, planning a a real FUTURE?

    Do you want/need more or do you want to take the easy job? Don't speak to me about not having a fair shot and all that B.S.

    Some want it SOME DON'T !

    I have done mahy many many many hours of research in this industry, there are segements that people bank some serious income.

    Do you reslly think thise of us with college degrees would be out here working for J.B, Swift and the like or do you think we did a bit of homework THEN STARTED making calls, drove TO THE BUSINESS handed them a RESUME and said this is what I want , this is whwt I can offer will you allow me to prove what I'm worth!

    Al of us have unique skills that WILL benefit someone, there is a RIGHT fit for every person......and then there are jobs!

    You NEVER get what you WANT to have to TAKE IT.

    I will help anyone at work, in the field, almost anyoen anytime but I'm always thinking of how to improve what I do, how to leard better/smarter

    Joints, lots of oil field work around $20/hr. Conditions for drivers are minimal, or worse, a lot of places. North Dakota, Texas, New Mexico, and other states have a lot of work. They can't run you over 70hrs in 7 days, so yes you can earn $73K. Minus expenses, of course.

    It is a scam. A trucking driver training school.

    Here is the email they sent:


    Hello,


    Thank you for responding to my ad. If you are considering getting your Class A CDL todrive a truck & change your career then this is the most important email you will ever read. I assure you this isn't a spam or some ######## multi marketing email. I am for real & you can call me, Billy, directly at 469-835-4126 at anytime to confirm this.


    If you would like to seriously make a minimum of $20 hour up to a maximum of $38 hour or .41 up to .49 cents a mile starting out driving a class A CDL truck, even though you have never driven a truck in your life, I can help you get there. I have helped over twenty five thousand men & women in the past just like yourself. Whether you live in Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio or any other city in Texas I can help you. The first thing you will have to do is get your class A CDL license. I can help you get your CDL license in as quick as 3 to 5 days for $250 no matter where you live in Texas. Once you get your CDL then I can help you get the job you want making the money you & your family deserve. I do not charge a fee for giving you the information you need to land the CDL job that pays top dollar. I will help you with how to obtain these high paying jobs once you get your class A CDL.


    My name is Billy & I am with the CDL Test Truck (CDL Services) in Allen, TX. I help people get into a CDL license quick within 3 to 5 days for $250 with a 100% pass rate without the hassle of expensive schools that cost $5,000 up to $9,000 or some ######## company sponsored programs guaranteeing you free training & a job like Stevens Transport, CRST, CR England, Swift, Snyder and many others that lie their ### off up front until you get all the way to their training facility & the contract finally appears stating you owe them back $6,000 - $9,000 at 18% interest for company sponsored training & then they lock you into a 1, 2 or 3 year contract making .12 cents to .22 cents a mile (Example at .26 cents a mile at 65mph that's $169 before taxes ($104.78 after taxes) working a legal 10 1/2 hour day. These companies find all kinds of reasons to create deductions to make your paycheck as small as possible. The truth is these type of companies are using you for a tax write off & you think they are great guys giving you an opportunity for a great job. Company sponsored drivers are away from their home & family for 4 to 6 weeks. Then after 4 weeks after all of your deductions when you get your paycheck it is only $500 to $600 for those 4 to 6 weeks. The truth is they want you to quit because then you will owe them $6,000 - $9,000 back for their supposed CDL training they gave you over a two week period. Then when you can't pay they send it to collection to be put on your credit & then you make one big nice tax write off if you don't pay them back. I see 200 to 250 people monthly go through these type of company sponsored programs. If a company charges $6,000 for CDL training & everyone quits that's $1.2 million in a tax write off each month. If a company was so great they wouldn't have 200 to 250 people going through their CDL training a month. It's your choice though. I'm just telling you the truth of how companies take advantage of people like yourself that do not know the industry. Don't be misled by getting caught up in their web.


    I assure again I am not some ######## spam that's made it's way into your email trying to scam you out of money. I am 100% real & again you can call me, Billy, directly at anytime. My number 469-835-4126, I'll answer. I'm here 24/7 to answer all of your questions. If you Google "CDL Test Truck Allen Texas" My company will pop up. I even have videos on Youtube about my program.


    To prove to you that I am for real here is a direct link into the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to see our United States Department Of Transportation (USDOT) federal licensing >>> USDOT# 2269905 . You can even search our USDOT federal licensing for yourself at this link >>> http://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/CompanySnapshot.aspx and put out USDOT number in 2269905.


    Let me explain, I have a program helping people get into their Class A CDL license in 3 to 5 days for only $250. Yes that's right 3 to 5 days you can have your Class A CDL. The $250 includes all 5 of the actual Texas DMV Class A CDL written tests from the Texas DMV (General Knowledge, Air Brake, Combination, State Laws/Permit & Pre-Trip) & also includes all 3 endorsements (Hazmat, Tanker & Double/Triples), our study materials to help with these tests, video links to watch the different topics on each test you will take at the DMV, the Class A truck rental & unlimited retakes should you fail the road test. When it comes to the written tests, I make it fast & easy to get into your license. To date I have a 100% passing rate. I have helped thousands get their CDL & I can help you as well.


    This a limited one time offer, you must sign up & pay the $250 service fee by 8pm 10/06/2012 Saturday to receive this $250 special. This is a $1,050 value saving you $800. You will find this deal no where else in the USA. You can't even rent a truck & trailer anywhere for this price!


    If you procrastinate past the 8pm 10/06/2012 then I can still help you get your CDL but the price for this service will be $1,050 (payment arrangements are available). If you sign up & pay by 8 pm 10/06/2012 Saturday you will be getting one hell of a deal.


    If you are interested in getting your CDL for $250 & my help showing you how to get into a good career paying job making you the money you & your family deserve than
    call me direct at 469-835-4126. I am here 24/7 to answer your call.



    I have attached some PDF's in your attachments for you to read. These attachments explain my fee for assisting getting you into your CDL license quick & most of all making it very affordable. Yes the $250 price for your CDL in 3 to 5 days is real, legal & legit. You will not find a Class A CDL truck to rent anywhere in the USA for $250 or a program to get you into your CDL for $250. This is a special one time limited offer. My normal price for helping get a CDL license in 2010 was $850. January 1st the price increased to $1,050.


    So $250 is a great deal for both you & I. You get your CDL at a very reasonable price & I get a good tax write off of $800 for each license I give at this price before the start of our physical tax year.

    Not only did you make a request for information about getting your class A CDL but what interests everyone is getting a good paying job once obtaining your CDL. Good news is I can help with getting the job & money you want by assisting you with the information once you get your CDL. I have been doing both helping people get their CDL quickly in 3 to 5 days & getting top dollar for employment. Then through my employment assistance program a good paying job. Good paying jobs that are careers not disappointments as you will find disappointments in the end with CDL schools & company sponsored programs. This ad is not a spam & I assure you I am not ######## like the CDL schools & company sponsored programs. I can really help you.


    If you are interested in getting your CDL for $250 & my help getting you into a good career paying you the money you & your family deserve than
    call me direct at 469-835-4126. I am here 24/7 to answer your call.


    First, I do not work getting people into over OTR jobs unless they specifically just need this type of position. I try to steer people away from OTR, there's no money in it anymore. Second why would you want to be away from your family if it doesn't pay well enough to justify the separation. The ones who drive OTR are what we call crack ###### who drivefor crumbs, .12 cents to .26 cents a mile. If you absolutely have to have an OTR job, at least I can get you a minimum .41 cents up to .53 cents starting out with no experience.


    To me being paid by the hour is much more desirable because being paid by the mile. Being paid by the mile does't pay you standing at a dock waiting to load or unload. Every company I have worked with placing people into driving positions pays by the hour at $28.50 up to $38 an hour. I have some jobs that start out paying as little as $20 hour & advance up quickly to $25. Then I have higher paying jobs that pay $28.50 hour up to $38 hour starting out. I have a 100% success rate on helping get people just like you into placement. I can help you as well. I will always shoot straight with you the truth, which is hard to find in today's world especially in the trucking industry.


    SPECIAL NOTE >>> Want to make the REAL BIG BUCKS! Well it isn't drivingover the road in the big trucks. In my opinion to make good money with a class A CDL license, the oilfield offers very good jobs paying a minimum of $150,000 up to $349,000 a year the first year. These jobs have nothing to do with driving a CDL truck. You just have to have a CDL license for their insurance requirement and must be licensed to move CDL equipment occasionally. To get into these high paying jobs it's not about what you know it's about WHO you know. I know people in key positions the are very high up in oilfield service companies. Come get your CDL with me and then we can discuss your options on obtaining one of these great paying jobs. A good paying job making hundreds of thousands of dollars a years is as simple as a phone call & you're hired. Of course there are certain criteria they are looking for in an individual. I know what type of person these company men are looking for to go to work with them by their side. I will qualify you with the questions needed to be asked and then see how well you listen and apply your skills when getting your CDL. These jobs are located locally here in Texas and North Dakota. Texas pays an average of 33% less than North Dakota for the same job description. (Example - A wireline job in Texas that pays $249,000 a year with salary & bonus would pay $349,000 in North Dakota) The oilfields are booming. Watch the videos below. Don't miss out on this great, and possibly once in a lifetime, opportunity. Call me today to begin your journey to a new career & life for you and your family.


    If you are interested in getting your CDL for $250 & my help getting you into a good career paying you the money you & your family deserve than call me direct at 469-835-4126. I am here 24/7 to answer your call.


    I have also included some video links below to watch showing how easy it is to get your CDL. I've also attached PDF's of information on CDL schools, company sponsored programs, oilfield jobs & information about getting your CDL in 3 to 5 days with us.


    Thank you for taking the time to read my email and consider my offer. I am here 24/7 to assist you answering any question. I do not play email tag so if you wish to contact me then pick up the phone & call me.


    Thank you!
