Aqua, it's very unlikely for you to get hired on at a big LTL outfit like yellow, or others you've mentioned, i've been driving almost since i've gotten out of school, since the age of 19. In my opinion, you need to go around town and beat down the doors of your local mom and pops outfits, it took me 3 months to find a job, but i was able to find that job because of determination, i hauled sod for the first 4 years of my career, and although it was hard way to make a living, i was able to get myself ahead and land a better gig. Guys like me, and Mackman started out just like you, and we're still young and wet behind the ears in to this wonderful world of trucking, but take it from him and i when we say it's gonna be tough finding someone to bring you on at your age, but with a little determination theres a good chance you'll find someone, look at rock haulers, construction outfits, sod companies, whatever you gotta do to get your foot in the door.
