Thumbs up OTR/Local/Spotter Experience - Seeking Work

I am a 41 year old male with about 2 yrs experience in OTR dry van, 6-9 months experience running local and line haul, some flatbed experience and 1.5 years experience as a Lead yard spotter.

I am looking for work at around $17-$19 per hour home nightly, willing to work 10-12 hour days, class a cdl with 2010 expire and current dot physical with 2010 expire. No accidents/tickets last 2 years.

Experienced with auto shift as well as 10 speed, have ran at least 38 states, excluding far northeast and far northwest.

I also have experience with straight truck, loading my own freight at places like Epson America, Hitachi Data Systems, loading and unloading on the dock at Bax Global (previous employer). I have experience in loading/unloading at Indianapolis Airport (Carribean Airlines). I also have forklift experience as well (loading/unloading).

Experienced with QualComm system, no problems running clean logs. Prefer day or evening shift and at home by 2AM.

Previous Employers: P.A.M. Transport, Superior Metal Technologies, Rapid Delivery Systems (Bax Global Air Freight), MKM Distribution.

I would prefer working for an O/O or a small company, I do not need health insurance as I already have a good plan, but would appreciate benefits such as vacation, some holidays, sick days and etc if you offer them, if not I won't stomp and cry

Please contact me, I am a very hard worker, quick learner, self motivated, ad will exceed your expectations at all I do. I am married & my wife is currently in college to be an RN, I am the only income till she graduates in a year and half so please understand my need for decent pay, I am not looking for no $1200 a week bring home, I am not greedy, just looking for a decent wage of $800-$900 gross a week.

Thank you for looking at this post, I appreciate your taking the time to consider me for employment, have a good day.

Brent

Have you considered hauling fuel out of Indy? Sounds like you have the qualifications. Do you have tanker/hazmat?

I do not have tanker at this time, have never pulled a tanker trailer, although I have pulled a flatbed. Sorry.

Well the tanker endorsement would not be much of a problem. The prospects of getting both Saturday and Sunday off when starting out in the fuel hauling industry is slim to none.

BOL in your search.

After numerous calls from every JB Hunt recruiter on the planet I just wanted to update this post that I am still looking for an opportunity to get back out there and drive, I don't want to end up with no experience on the road in the past X years and have to start over.

So if you have an offer don't hesitate to approach me with it I will consider whatever right now, I have been out of work over a month now and I am getting tired of sitting on my butt at home job hunting.

I will even consider OTR at this point, the problem I am running into is the fact that I have 2 tickets in a 2 year period, 65 in a 45 and left lane violation, because of these 2 tickets the state of Indiana disqualified my CDL privileges for 60 days back in 2006 and I was driving for PAM Transport at the time and they neglected to tell me, I drove through those 60 days, thank God I did not get pulled over during that time, but the fact is the INDOT says I should not have been disqualified because they do not consider that 2 majors in 2 years but the DMV does.

I have a clean driving record for 2 years and nothing more then a small parking lot bump in the last 3 years. I have never had a DWI/DUI, never failed or refused a drug test, I don't smoke (quit almost 6 months ago), I don't drink, but I am having a hard time getting companies to work with me due to the 2 tickets and disqualification.

I am a good guy, some of you know me here on CAD since 2005 when I first started school with PAM Transport. Anyway, I am looking for a chance to get back out there before I lose to chance to drive ever again without starting over, the yard spotter and local driving hurt me.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my post.
