    The freight market has tightened up sharply between last summer....and now.

    Thus -- many companies now want drivers -- but only those with at least some experience.

    It's a REAL-LY TOUGH market right now for drivers who are just starting out.

    A brand new driver to the CDL world of late will have an easier go of it, and the most potential opportunities, if he/she brings with them to prospective carriers:

    • A valid, current class "A" CDL -- without an automatic transmission restriction
    • All major CDL endorsements (tanker, hazmat, & also doubles/triples)
    • A TWIC card (Google it)
    • A valid, current US passport
    • the work ethic of a freight train
    • the patience of a grandfather clock
    • a sense of humor rivaling those of the better late-night talk show hosts
    Otherwise -- the CDL job hunt, and also that first year to 18 months of driving -- will SUCK pretty badly. :banghead:
