Could somebody tell me of a trucking company that requires as little as 3 months experience solo.

What happened to Empire Express, or CRST?

I don't think the issue is your lack of experience, but the number of companies you've worked for ... How many has it been? Then again, your story always seems to be changing, so I don't know what to think anymore.

What happened to Empire Express, or CRST?

Empire Express does not want me because when I was supposed to go my cat became very ill and I did not make the bus. CRST failed because they did not tell me that the hotel doesn't get the list of people until the day of check in. That's too late in case anything goes wrong, I would be stranded.

WHOAAA! Me thinks, you just answered your own question! 8 trucking companies in just over 1 year or so??

Patrick, if you're still reading your own thread, then take this to heart. You need to realize that with each company you add to your long list of previous employers - in such a short amount of time - you're greatly diminishing your chance to find any employment at all. So don't be surprised if you're not receiving any help from this forum, especially since you don't seem to want to listen to any advice or help unless it fits your agenda. In regard to "CRST failed," did you not read what Daniel B. said in response to that topic on a different thread you created? CRST didn't fail - you failed. Those are my words to you.

I doubt you're gonna find any more help on this forum, because you're showing that you don't actually want any help. Your best bet is to walk away from trucking. Maybe in a few years, and with a changed perspective on your part, you'll find more employment opportunities. Hopefully you didn't burn any bridges with your previous employers.

8 companies he's worked at-and at least 2 more that he has not been professional with... in such a short time. Now I understand why us 'Old' guys are in greater demand. Sorry Patrick-but you are young and have to understand that your decisions have repercussions-some of which last a lifetime.

Alright kid. One of the best bits of wisdom I've ever heard goes like this. "When you realize you're in a hole, the very first thing you do is stop digging."

I've never seen any of your other posts, but from what I see in this thread, I'm more than a little underwhelmed. Let me take a guess here. You've pretty much had your way for your entire life, and you have been the center of attention. Recently some things have changed at home and you decided to head out on your own, but you still expect to have things your way. It ain't gonna happen bud. You have done everything in your power to sabotage your own career, and you think by blaming ANYONE ELSE, you'll get your way. Again, it ain't happening. You want to blame someone, go stand in front of a mirror and take a long hard look. You are looking at the source of ALL your troubles, eye to eye. Keep looking for a long time, and if you look hard enough, you'll see the guy who's going to get your ass out of this sling. That guy is the only person in the universe who owes you anything. Will he pay up? Keep looking, and hoping. Right now what you should do in my opinion, which is worth almost what you paid for it, is get a job hanging off the back side of a garbage truck, and you should spend a year trying to be the best dude that ever hung off the back of a garbage truck. Each of the 365 days you spend doing that, you should also be hoping that the entire trucking industry forgets what you have shown them. THEY didn't decide you were a jerk until you acted like one. You wasted about 8 jobs doing your best to prove it to them.

Thats MY advice, take it along with the wisdom of others here who cared enough say something, and maybe after that year on the garbage truck you'll find the way to a life you can be proud of, or ignore us all, and keep on digging that hole.
