    I tried them already. Drove for them for a little over a year back 21-22. Won’t touch me. DOT accident which resulted in being terminated from a job year & a half ago. I’m essentially unhirable for who knows how long. Nobody wants to touch that right now.

    I'm so sorry you are in this spot. Don't give up. I was getting really creative before getting the call from jb. Waste management was looking very promising!

    I tried waste management. Really wanted it too. Could be with my son more. But both Republic & WM turned me down. I’ll probably end up staying at PTL for at least another 4 years. Then if it falls off my psp I can stop putting it on applications.

    How many accidents do you have? If you have that ugly of a background I would just be happy to have a driving job right now.

    I have one DOT accident in Jan. 2023. That’s what my wife says. I just don’t make enough for our bills. I average 1500 miles a week.

    I worked for JB Hunt for 23 days (back in 99 I think it was).

    I didnt get home in 23 days. I got 1100 miles my busiest week.

    Again, was a few years ago when JB still owned JB...

    Every jb job is unique. Some are better than others. I love my intermodal job and they keep me running without fail. But it might not be the same even for a different rail yard. I'm just lucky and I know it.
