Companies That Accept 6 Months Of Experience

Old School and Dragon....love to read you guys. Thank you for your informed responses.

Here how it is for me...you guys read my posts on here and might think "oh boy..." Although I do want some little compact comfort and luxuries in my future truck (nothing wrong with that), here's what I also want: to be good at what I do. To be valuable to someone. To do my job proficiently, safely and make my boss/company happy. I want them to eventually trust me and say "this is because of people like her, that we have a successful operation". I also want to make good money so I can be financially independent and not depend on a man. If I take home $700-$800 a week? That's more money than I EVER made working for anyone. I'd feel rich (ok, maybe not rich, but I'd be darn happy!!)

What I want is also to wake up every day, smiling. Finally.....smiling. Is it too much to ask?

You, young lady are well on your way to becoming an outstanding and very successful professional driver.

RV have you looked at Pam? With hazmat you can team drive @ .21. That would equal .42 solo. Sure better than most that pay .26.

Team driving equals long time away from home....weeks at a time. I want to see my family and my pets at least once a week.

This is refreshing to hear. I believe this is what also separates successful people from the rest.

I'm sure you've decided on your company, but for future reference you may want to consider various dedicated accounts you might not normally consider. E.g. This weekend freight was light (3 words I hate to hear), so I ran dedicated Target loads that were nothing but drop/hook. The money was okay and the work was easy. I was running out of Virginia and some of the drivers live in upstate NY & Northern PA. They go home every other weekend. Plus, there's better eating places near Target stores. You can get out of the truck for an hour or so and feel "human" again (y'all know what I mean).

I had to laugh @ the original guy's post and just like Dragon said HE IS STILL a newbie.

Good luck.

So how does it work? Let's say you work as a driver for one specific company, and they don't have a load for you. Do you mean that you can take a load for someone else and deliver it? Please explain...lol

The "original guy" (Daniel Sage) never said he wasn't a newbie, in fact he never used the word, and I don't see how the guy's post is funny or why he should be laughed at. He asked about companies that hire with 6 months experience, and maybe not with no experience, and he explained why. If you disagree with his assumptions or reasoning then of course you should say so, but otherwise I don't see any reason for this person to be ridiculed.

You don't see something odd about a guy with only six month's experience wanting ONLY companies that hire experienced drivers with MORE than six months experience? I mean, what's the title of his post?

I don't think he was being ridiculed. With 6 months of experience he's looking for companies that aren't hiring newbies while he still falls into the very same category. Now, if he were a 10 year 1.5 million mile safe award driver, that would be different. If he were that driver, I also doubt he would have a hard time finding exactly what he is looking for.

Did you bother reading the rest of the thread? He explained why.
