Speaking about O/O's, would it be possible to go to work for one pulling Reefers or Dry box.
I would go to work for a Concrete outfit, problem i am facing is i still have an out of state CDL.

I do know an owner operator here in town, he only has 1 truck.

It is just getting a tad ridiculous. If I lie or did any of the above things I would thank my lucky stars if McDonalds would hire me.
i served that 1 year suspension. What pisses me off the most is just sitting around, doing nothing, earning no form of income while my CDL was still valid. I did not fail no pee test, no drug conviction. If i was honest, they still would look at my DAC, say i am disqualified, and you know the rest. As far as working at Mcdonalds, one look at my CDL and they will say i am overqualified. How can i be overqualified :?: Anyone can flip a burger :!:

 That is down in Arkansas, I'm in Illinois. Wish i was down there right now, but knowing the company you work for, they probably ask for 1 year OTR experience, i got less than that with 3 separate companies. :x

I made some phone calls and
 ops: they will not touch me until after my CDL expires. My mistake and stupidity, oh well, driving was fun while it lasted. So long CDL, it was nice having you. :cry:
