Profile For T-Bone

Thanks For the links to the information Brett. I have been talking to the 4 recruiters from the company's i mentioned above. I'm expecting to be out at least 2 weeks and a weekend off, wife is prepared for this as well. Only thing that might change my mind is Pets. As i have a buddy i'd like to take with me but its not a deal breaker if it comes down to the wire. I know TMC is only flatbed and their is a lot of labor involved which is ok. Werner, is 100% no touch just verified that yesterday with my prehire application with them and talked to a reciter, US Xpress i need to talk a little more too, then Knight as well. It will work its way out. But its most likely going to be a company i can use my GI Bill with and get that extra $1,000 a month for 12 or so months tax free, US X does not offer that but start vets off at .38cpm long run is it worth it i'll have to do the math and average miles and work it all out as if i were getting a pay check. Thanks for the advice.

Brett, Yes i'm aware that they would find out. Also, I've been reading CFR whatever the number is on medications. And what you can take and can not take. So i'm headed into the right direction. Just have to change a few. My DR. is pretty good about listening to me. It's the pain that needs to stay away. Other than that. I've been talking to US Xpress, Werner, Knight, and TMC are the four i want to go with. any thoughts

No can do on the working on vehicles. Bad back. And 80,000 is a lot but 140,000 or 70tons which an M1A2 Abrams tank weighs is what i came off of. Driving heavy vehicles in and out of combat on lots of medication for a few years. Army finally caught up with me. So now i'm getting the MEB. And Being by myself in a tractor touring the country sounds awesome to me. I am fine when i drive as long as i get a good night sleep which sometimes i do sometimes i dont. like the average person. Lisa L. I'm hoping i can walk into a company. Have a prehire on a few but we'll see how it goes next week and tomorrow at the Doctor.

Hello all, I'm getting ready to go to School next week here in GA for my CDL. I'm still active duty Army, waiting on my MEB to finish. I went and had a DOT physical done before hand, because I know I have some issues. Long story short i'm honest so its going to be hard to get my CDL. The DOT physical location that the school uses has a copy of my medication that I am currently on. Which is about 1 too many schedule 2's. Now tomorrow I see my DR and I will be coming off my Schedule 2 and jumping up to a Schedule 3, this puts me at all schedule 3 and above. Since the DR already has a copy of what i was on. Changing my Medication Tomorrow (20 November) and going to school and taking my physical sometime between 25 or 26 November or after Thanksgiving. I will hand the Physician an updated list of medications. I would pass with my current but my DR does not want to take responsibility if something happens so he will not put anything in writing.

Any Help or suggestions. I know I'm doing the right thing by being honest. This is actually the only job i can see myself doing after being active duty army for almost 10 years.
