Yes, I was being direct. Ive been in the business of putting drivers to work for well over 10 years. Ive heard all the stories, Ive talked to 10s of 1000s of drivers who were looking for work. I have hired drivers for over 100 companies at one time or another. Believe me, if I thought there was even a chance of me being able to find you a job, I would try. Hell, thats the only way I make money. But I just dont see it happening. Look at it this way.....Any small trucking company that might give you a chance will know that you are desperate for work, and they are your only option. When a company like that knows YOU NEED THEM, and they dont really need you, guess what happens? They take advantage of you. I talked to a driver today who was in sort of the same problem as you. He had about 15 years experience, but it was 10 years ago. He recently worked for a small company running OTR for the last year. This guy had an absolutely perfect MVR. His problem was the small company he worked for. He constantly ran illegal, and had horrible equipment. His CSA score went through the roof working for that company. That company went out of business, and now he needs to find a job. No one will touch him with that CSA score. He pretty much wasted a year of his life in a company that hurt him even more. He should have just stayed out of trucking.
Oh I forgot strike 3. You live in Michigan. A horrible state to be a truck driver. Especially any place north of I-94
