But ever since Twilight retired from CAD, he's been mostly just chasing neighbor kids out of his yard, and telling the same crime fighting stories over and over.

I've never crossed it at 55mph, but how much different is it than the 62.5mph I can run it now? Not a whole hell of a lot...

better than wanting to drive and not putting your skill to use. Regardless of the capacity you're doing it in.

Don't sweat Heartland declining you. I've been declined as an O/O with my own tractor, drove all 48 states, operated under my own authority, own ttrailer...etc...just to be approved somewhere else.

Today is the "I'lll sue you for this and that" age and companies have internal policies to not provide reasons for not leasing on a particular driver or O/O for fear of being sued.

I'm a firm believer of the following: "Everything happens for a reason"

You are destined to drive for a different company in a different capacity. That's all..

You may have nothing on any of the reports companies require: MVR, DAC, credit file......but there is more to consider>>>>> trucking companies are no different in their research than any other company. They look at posts on this site, facebook, twitter, youtube. They Google your name and look for results, some of which may be several years in the past. You may have posted something online 8 years ago and forgot about it.....

Could be because of CSA scores. Just because your MVR is clean doesn't mean your are able to be hired anymore. Having run containers before I know the condition of some of the equipment to had to run, do you have an idea what your CSA score is? It might be the time to find out.

I called this am to recruiting to check the status of my application...the recruiter told me that his safety director reviewed my app and declined. I was shocked !!!! he said he only gets yes or no anwsers from safety and i could send a letter requesting more info on the desision...i have my DAC report and it's clean...very confussed....maybe this is a blessing.

Not sure but might be the size of the containers? Are many of them 53 feet? Many dryvan companies only consider 53 foot boxes legit experience. Even celedon would only count my dry van exp. as valid.

try WTI out of tuscaloosa. my father was an O/O there. they pay their company drivers good, and 93% of drivers get home every weekend.

Well, I would not want to get TF all excited about my comment. Sorry, Twilight, it was a slip of the keyboard.
