    Thats not really an indication of what time the driver started his shift. He could be at the end of a shift or the beginning at that time of day. If its the beginning and you were his first stop he still would have had to of started his shift quite a bit earlier than you might think. Factor in his daily pre shift vehicle inspection and whatever else he has to get organized before getting going. Then the time from the company depot to your premises. It wouldnt be wrong to think he could have been starting his shift as early as 3 or 4 am.

    W.M. wants one year of comm. driving exp.

    What you can do is go to some local small companys (roll off- packer-
    dump etc). Tell them you just got your CDL A and you would train for free for a couple of weeks.That will show them that your into it and just might get your foot in the door.....Jobs up here are tough to get because of the economy.........but "you make your own luck"

    All the best to ya...!!!!:biggrin_25525:

    No that's not all true,they do take trainees but only when they offer openings for it.Now for roll off and front loader yes you need like 2+ years exp but as labor with a cdl,they hired non exp people.You gotta's keep an eye out when they are hiring non exp drivers.Also when I when for my interview,the lady said it can be 6 months or more even before you sit in the drivers seat.They start you off the bad(yea all the hard work first) then slowly and I mean slowly(6 months later) they will start letting you drive.Now for smaller companies,you might have a better change,buddy of my drove for a mom and pop company with 3 trucks and he didn't even had a cdl!You can try smaller outfits but not many out there.

    That's what I was talking about,the Roll-Off Driver Job required exp but they do hire non exp drivers also but you will not get into a roll-off truck unless you got 1-2 exp.Also they will hire in-house first.
