Robert, it's great to stay up-beat when you're looking for a job, because job hunting can get depressing. You have some good ideas here.
But in this post and you're other one, with hints on checking out companies, are making you seem like a know-it-all. I have learned a lot about the trucking lifestyle just be hanging out on this forum for five years. Some members have probably forgotten more than you have learned in two years, but by busting in here as you have, without getting to know the TT denizens, is a put-off.
Others have joined here, said "Ask me anything" and have disappeared. Don't be one of those.

We don't have to settle. There is no such thing as a perfect company in trucking or anywhere. One's attitude is 100%. We have to find the company that has the most of what we want then try to get them to hire us.
For me I love CFI because of how they treat me, the pay and the home time. Outside of working for myself, I have never worked for a better company. I love my FM. If he quit tomorrow, I would create a great relationship with the next one. When you become a top tier driver for your company you pretty much get what you want. I sure do.
Robert, Wait a minute. In your previous post you quit your job before you had another one. In this post you point out things you have learned from Tony Robbins, besides eating cake, he said have another job before you quit? Which one is it?

How do we get the job we want? We all go out here at one time or another an look for a job, and for the most part and the end of the day I think we settle.
Settle you say? ...Yeah we settle, the companies out here are never going to have everything we want, but what if they did?, or could? Hmm? You mean I can have my cake and eat it too? well you know what I say? What else is cake for? and why would you have it and not eat it? So go out there get your cake and eat it! Not exactly easy is it? I`ve been listening to Tony Robbins while looking for another job, and he is so positive and up beat. Its kind of hard for me to listen to some one like tht and not be moved, So.... my first rule of cake and eating it is...... 1. Stay positive 2. Plan ahead, in other words before you quit line something else up or at least save some money and make a plan. 3.Get what you want. 4. Treat people like you want to be treated. 5.While looking for another job go volunteer somewhere. 6.Eat your cake and enjoy it.Trucking can be fun if you let it.
