Looking for work

Hold on a minute, there are a lot of "Predatory" companies that will hire a person straight from school..A "Fast" company is one of them..Hint..Hint..Yes, you have to swallow a little bit of BS and get your start somewhere and when you put in a year or two you can start applying for better jobs..Just remember, keep your nose clean and your record clear..Don't be stupid and think taking a load that might be on the "shady" side is worth it..Its not..If you rack up points on your CDL that will put you in a catch22 as far as your driving career and you'll have to keep working for the predators that know you have no where else to go since you racked up points on your CDL by doing "favors"..Get in and get out with these companies..VM-out!

I drove for a "Fast" company for almost a year and I hauled tomatoes with another company for a season..Before the better trucking jobs opened up..Did I have to pay my dues? Yes! Was it hard?..Yes..Was it worth it?..Yes, I think so because now I got 7 years under my belt with 4 companies and I can drive for whomever I want to..I got a squeaky clean record..VM-out!

You are definately looking in the wrong places or haven't knocked on too many doors. There are hardly any companies around anymore that require that much experience! You must be trying to get some sort of a union job driving local.
