CDL And School Complete

Finished my school this week. Was looking at Werner, but got a traffic ticket and recruiter said I would have to wait another year. :( Submitted an application with Western Express and this seems possible, considering flat bed. Don't need much home time as long as the company has a pet policy, which they have. Newer company to the industry (1991) but seems they have grown into a decent sized company. Like the prospect of flat bed for exercise. At 60 I get stiff if in one position too long. :) Anyone here have any input? Also looks like they may have automatics, not sure about that yet. Currently excited about the new career, am so ready to guit work at the jail. :) Have seen posts about politics, try work with a Sheriff's office. :) Get tired of dealing with bosses, public, and goof balls? Try to find a happy medium between these ranks while solely supervising 60 inmates in one pod, ages 18-70, with the emotional mentality of teenagers (problematic). :) At the same time know you can be written up for something as simple as a clerical error. I'm a loner basically so trucking keeps looking better. :)

Congratulations, John! Flatbedding will definitely give you some exercise. There are plenty of goofballs on the road, but you don't have to supervise them! Old School drove for Western Express, and I think someone else here recently hired on with them. All I know about them is their drivers that I've met have been universally friendly. Good luck!
