    Believe it or not trucking jobs still exist on Craigslist. A lot of them are mom and pops that might not do that background check. I still look on CL out curiosity all the time. There's local jobs that you can't find on bigger sites.

    Yeah, that's a good idea. Check Craigslist for trucking jobs that hire in Portland, OR

    Get the tanker endorsement as soon as you can.

    Western Express pulled my DAC and I was able to see it on Driver Pulse. There was no information on it at all, so I'm guessing Walmart doesn't participate in it.
     
    Numb Thanks this.

    As soon as I can get some kind of unemployment to afford it I will. Would I be able to get better entry level positions with that?

    Probably. Some dry van and reefer companies haul liquid totes and that requires tanker endorsement.

    Same way companies are finding out about not scanning items at Walmart.
