Still Hanging In There
Topic 24890 | Page 1
Glad to hear things are going well for ya and I'm really glad you hung in there with Western Express. So many people in this industry quit their job and switch companies instead of working through issues that come up. You'll never get anywhere that way.
The drivers who make the most money, drive the nicest equipment, and get those special opportunities within a company are the drivers that have been there for a while and have performed consistently at the highest level.
Stay focused on learning your trade and keep working on developing strong relationships within the company. That's going to put you in the strongest position possible.

I'm curious as to why you couldn't transfer your CDL to NC. Is it because you don't live there? Glad to hear you're sticking with it. Good luck.
