need job.
OK. First of all i have about 8 years driving otr and local, even a trainer 1 time.
The last time i drove was about 9years ago. I had to leave trucking to work in the family buss. I now would like to drive again, but i cant find a job. CDL CLASS A W/TANK/DT (NO HAZ) DRIVING RECORD VERY CLEAN NOTHING ON IT. NO ACCIDENTS AT ALL. NO POINTS NEVER A DUI/OR C/R/D..NOTHING. I would like to find a company that runs from n/e pa down south east or s/west to texas.. (NO NY/NORTH EAST/ NEW ENGLAND STATES.) I would like the company to have a terminal in florida because i will be moving there in about 3 or 4 months. Anyone know of a company like that? Thank you. |
As you are aware your lack of recent experience is what the problem is.
You might want to talk to Heartland Express. They have a "refresher" program that might be able to get you back in the saddle again. It is the best I have for you. |
Hi..yes i understand that my recent experience is the problem, i hope i can find a company that will help..
Thank you. |
Re: need job.
Seriously, we would all like to leave the Northeast Monday morning, drive to Texas, unload, then be back in the Northeast on Friday :wink: Talk about a :D camper.
I'd just wait until you get to Florida and find a job when you get there. Something like Indian River hauling tanks of OJ up North. In my opinion to stay out of the Northeast is unrealistic. A healthy chunk of the USA's population lives there. Even though they hate trucks and truckers, they still need us. Quote:

I would recommend you stay far far away from Indian River, maybe try Bynum or Carry Inspections: Inspection Type Vehicle Driver Hazmat Inspections 356 614 1 Out of Service 70 61 0 Out of Service % 19.7% 9.9% 0% Nat'l Average % (2005-2006) 23.14% 6.80% 5.39% Crashes reported to FMCSA by states for 24 months prior to: 12/26/2007 Crashes: Type Fatal Injury Tow Total Crashes 1 15 24 40 |
Re: need job.
We are all a blink away from becoming a statistic. 2 out of 3 ain't bad :wink: All they gotta do is teach their driver's how to log!
I don't know much about them, other than shooting the breeze with one of their drivers while waiting for USA customs. There isn't much else to haul out of florida. Quote:

Get your hazmat, and haul fuel. Florida got some good companies. However, we are getting into the slow time of the year for loads, so waiting the 3-4 months till you get there would put you into the season when it picks up again.
Good luck. |
i would look deep into heartland express if you are considering them... LOOK VERY DEEP... dont get blinded by $0.50/mile propaganda
