Dad?!?

I'm not a fan of addressing someone by saying "I'm your boss", mainly because it should be implied and if they're to thick headed to see it shame on them. Over all I think you were right, Daniel, and more importantly it seems to be paying off. Good for you!

I know some will talk about money, but to me it comes down to you and your family. If having you home 2 times in a month is better than once, go dedicated.

I look forward to hearing the good news by the end of the month.

You got this!

As I logged in tonight I was literally reminding myself to check your diary thread to see where you were at.

No need now. Congrats, Sunshine!

Remember not all of us "seniors" are wise.

Way to stay even keeled.

It's a fair question. Not sure how work visas and the like work towards a CDL, but they work just fine to get licensed and bonded as installers. I work at a flooring warehouse and deal with levels and illegals everyday.

Not trying to get into a political or philosophical discussion but it IS a problem in this country and for some it could be as important a concern as CPM or home time.

But, I would think it would be tough to do or maintain for an extended period of time in this particular industry.

I completed the online application last week for Prime. I got a call yesterday from a recruiter, he stated we can't move forward with my application because I haven't worked in the past six months and because I was terminated from my previous employer. I understand this may be there policy, but I persionly think its BS! Any suggestions on where I might try to go next? Thanks for any helpful feed back.

Hey Tim, I hope you continue to apply, hopefully someone will hire you. But I'm gonna suggest that you try and at least get a part time job if you can.

The reason I suggest this is the fact that you were terminated and have not worked in 6 months. Unfortunately for most people those are two red flags that make you less than desirable. I used to be a manager for Target, Macy's and Kmart. I might have considered you for PT to give you a shot but never would've considered you for FT.

I also can commiserate with you. I am waiting until February to get my driving journey started. I'm doing this for a few reasons. Chief among them is that I will have been gainfully employed for 2 years. Before that I was unemployed for 14 months. Life threw a couple of punches that I forgot to duck. Hopefully the gainful employment of two years will out weigh the time without a job.

Good luck Tim!

Sometimes, I just look at the condition of the trucks in a company. I think that's one of your first indicators of whether or not they have the cash flow to take care of their fleet and whether or not their drivers are content enough to keep their tractor looking good

This is what I do.

I live right off of HWY 69 in Oklahoma, which is a major trucking route in our state. I write down the names of the trucks that pass by that are clean and look good and seem well maintained. Those are the companies I research more on.

May be silly, but I got to narrow the list down some how :)

And the price tag for the 30 pack should let you know how good it taste! MMMMMMM... Genny.

And here I thawt i wuz a reel gud speller. Well, I guess my fat thumbs will do me in.

See this is really why there is no Edit feature.

Brett is in good ole NY kicked back with a Genny Cream Ale (do they even make those anymore?) laughing at all of us who have fat fingers!
