    Fellow Truckers & those soon to be,I just thought I would give some basic info on my last month...4 weeks ago,my dispatcher and I were having some major disagreements,and to make a LONG story short,I decided it was time for a change.- End of that story. My purpose of writing now is this,- without filling out a Internet app,in the preceding 3 weeks,I have had 10 job offers without really trying all that hard.,Now granted,out of those,3 I felt I was not really qualified for,4 were borderline s#itholes,(IMO) AND 3 were flatbed jobs worth my checking out...... Understand,my point in writing this here is to encourage you to get the experience,keep as good a MVR as possible and everything that goes along with that,job stability,( do not get a different job every 3 mo) and,at least,you and yours will always have income coming in,really,I KNOW these are tough economic times,but I hardly notice that when looking for work...Good Luck People.:biggrin_25525:

    You said 3 you didnt think you were qualified for. You have 6 years experience what made you think you didnt qualify? If you dont mind me asking.
