Name Any American Company That Allows At Least TWO Small Dogs

Just lurking on this thread. Don't bash the not single folks son. I'd say most people who fail at this had high expectations and couldn't handle it when it went the opposite. As everyone else says, do your research before jumping in. Can't stress this enough. I've met lots of drivers and even old classmates in training who had no idea what they were getting into and got out or were trying to. Decide what's important to you, make a list of companies who offer those things and go from there.

Btw, you could get home most weekends doing flatbed but that's another story.

100% true.

And you mentioned "out of work". So now my question is...how long have you been out of work and what is your work, DMV and criminal history like?

Believe it or not, some people who do not have verifiable employment consistently over the last three years do not get accepted to some companies. Some who job hopped do not get accepted. Other drivers who think a speeding ticket here or there is no big deal..soon find out that 15 mph over the speed limit is reckless driving and a very big deal preventing them from getting into the company of their choice.

Then we get to the DOT physical. High blood pressure and diabetes seem to be common issues. Anxiety and depression meds can disqualify drivers.

These are all things to be considered, as any one of them can be a hurdle. Some people think this is about choosing a company. But sometimes it's about choosing the best company that will accept you.

Different companies have different policies. For instance, one DUI can prevent you from a company--even if it was 20 years ago.

So please, if you have questions...ask. We want to help.

Very well. I have been on disability since 2005 and have not worked since. Chronic fatigue syndrome and sleep apnea.

I want to be honest now. I was saying simply "out of work" to avoid bring disability in to the discussion but I will be frank. It is not like I was recently fired from a job, laid off, on unemployment or quit.

My doctor said lose 100 pounds to fully restore my health and I am expected to have this disability averted and full health restored.

I figure I have about nine months to go on a strict diet and exercise regimen. I don't think most companies would discriminate on the basis of disability history. It is against the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. I do have verifiable disabilities by medical records and federal government forms. I have been living poor on the VA pension benefit since 2005.

I will also have a voc/rehab agency working for me as a client.

I don't smoke, drink or do any illegal drugs. I take no prescription meds that impair driving.

My driving record is flawless with a perfect driving record and good driver insurance discount with Farmers. I have a misdemeanor for petty theft. Not a single felony. Never a DUI/DWI.

I have no diabetes or high blood pressure.

John is obviously that Oliver guy we banned like a week ago. Unless there's a sudden interest from oddly know it all yet completely out of touch people on long term disability working with a voc/rehab agency.

Best of luck John.
