    PM me. But, to get on with my employer, you will need 1 yr OTR experience. They do have local opportunities running containers to Dallas area, and delivering to stores in the local market.
    Probably gonna have to get that KLLM thing worked out, though.
     
    Kevin247 Thanks this.

    Also, your driving record needs to be fairly clean, and also your background, too.

    They do an extensive background check on people.

    I may be wrong here, check with your state labor department, but I believe that they are under legal obligation to show your start date, your termination date, and your status as far as rehire.
     
    Kevin247 Thanks this.

    One would think. Given how much every aspect of the hiring process is carefully controlled by various federal rules, how could one carrier operating under federal rules NOT provide required information to another carrier trying to operate under the same rules?

    What is KLLM trying to accomplish with this BS?
     
    Kevin247 Thanks this.

    Not sure. Didn't realize it was an issue until I called US Express about a job earlier.

    Well, I can't find any driving job that don't require some sort of experience. I guess I gotta start from the bottom again. Just gonna look other types of work.

    Wonder if there could be any yard jockey jobs around so the OP can stay close to home.

    I've been talking to a recruiter that recruits for 52 companies. She said it didn't matter if I left the company I was with under contract. She said she hears it all the time. Said it's ########. And my pay stubs are sufficient enough at most places. Plus, they can pull up when I drove from the elogs. She's wanting to see if I wanna try working for J. B. Hunt. Sounds like a good job. I told her I would think about it and call her back. She also suggest I call KLLM and explain my situation and work out a payment plan. She seems really sincere and helpful.
