    Companies are concerned with being able to verify where you were and what you were doing.
    If you were self employed from XX date to XX date and have tax returns to verify that, or other types of documentation, then you'll be fine. They just don't want to see large gaps that can't be accounted for since you could potentially have been out of the country being recruited by ISIS or something.

    Back onto the subject of Lexapro and a UA, here's what the 5-panel drug screen looks for:
    • Marijuana (THC)
    • Cocaine
    • Amphetamines
    1. Amphetamine
    2. Methampheamine
    3. MDMA
    4. MDA
    5. MDEA
    • Opiates
    1. Codeine
    2. Morphine
    3. 6-AM (heroin)
    • Phencyclidine (PCP)
    Lexapro, escitalopram oxalate, does not fall into any of those categories.

    Ive read the negatives. Don't mind being in the road for weeks. I'm concerned about a lot of things like traffic, accidents, breakdowns, making deadlines etc but also attracted to being on the road, seeing the country making decent money

    You will not see much unless you take a cab on your reset. Traffic in all the major cities and all starter companies get ready for the breakdowns and dispatch with deliveries etc.

    I know the first year will really suck and lots of rotten things will happen. Isn't that paying your dues though?

    Be smart about it and it doesn't have to suck. Where do you want to be in 3 years?

    Flat,
    Os/od
    Reefer sleeping
    Generic van
    Tanks
    Local

    Plan accordingly, pick the right starting point

    there are some better companies to start with than the megas. If you need to go to school I highly recommend Millis. Here comes our resident member that knows all the companies that exist.

    i don't really know what the difference between all of those options, not local for now though. I guess it's one of those things I'd gravitate towards
