Thanks Chance. I'll for sure do that, in fact I probably will as soon as I hit send on this.

Thanks Paul.

Local work. I tried otr and it just wasn't for me. Long story but yeah I want to find local stuff, and it seams like ive checked out just about every job board there is out there.

So is there a way to try and apply for the fed ex cargo van jobs? I've tried various searches and have wound up finding a whole lot of nothing. And do you have to be a o/o to get a job like that with fed ex express?? Or I'd even entertain the notion of driving a sprinter van for UPS, I know they...

OVM I do plan on havin some form of internet with me. Im bringing along a lap top and I got a smart phone. I just got to try and find some form of good GPS, I know my phone has it but I got to try and figure out how to get it to talk if it does. And Rocket the way I see it, im getting into...

Thanks OVM and Im trying to stay positive which over all I am. Always seams like once I get things figured out somethin else comes along. But I suppose thats life. And I better get use to my days never bein the same again lol. I again know this isn't going to be easy but I think I can pull it...

Well thanks for that insight Rocket! A lot of valiuable info in that post :) I do know its not going to be pretty the first few weeks. And the food stamps will only be good in michigan, so im thinking I may have to take out a small loan just to get by, the F.O did say C&M has a small...

Im not 100% sure how or what the winch system includes. I was multi taskin and doing three things at once so some info escaped me lol. And I know my food stamps arent goin state by state, just here in Michigan so I just plan on buyin as much as I can that ill be able to get to work in the van...

Well instead of just replying to everyone individually, I'll say I do like what im hearing from every one here. I knew every company wasn't perfect but Ive seen a LOT of excellent things about C&M And about the fuel, Ive talked to my fleet owner, he did say they have like a fleet fuel card to...

So I mistakenly put this in the wrong spot but just copy and pasted what I had there, so if the mods see this post to if you want you can delete the one I posted in the welcome lounge. Again sorry for the hassel :) So im lookin at driving for C & M transport out of Painsville Ohio. Ive seen a...

Actually both Paullud. Im practicing on a mini van, and ill be doing the road test in the same mini van. Im going for a Class C CDL with the Hazmat endorcement. I confirmed with the Sec Of State or DMV on several occasions that I can in fact do this. Didn't want it to be one of them things where...

Well I don't think you bashed me Gregg. I've always found your information very handy. I am just one of them people some things I have a hard time remembering certain stuff. Some of the pre trip stuff is some of the stuff I just have a hard time remembering. And I have started in one spot and...

Well I just did a practice run with the pre trip and I think I did ok, not great but not horrible. I just got to remember to be thourough, wasnt so thourough the last time around lol

I plan on actually doing some practice pre trips starting tomorow, by time I found all the paper work that i need to schedule the road test it was almost dark and figure thatd make it kind of hard to do. Im doing this in a mini van, and one of the big things I got wrong was checking for...

So tomorow I call and try and schedule for a road test. This will be my second try, and im big time nervous. I failed the pre trip test last time, any good usefull hints on stuff I should remember? I got a state manual but I was just wondering if any fellow expediters have anything else that...

Right gotta start somewhere. And again like you if I dont like it I can go else where. And at first I wanted to wait to get my Hazmat, but in order to get a class C CDL I either have to get a passenger endorcement, then find a 15 passenger vehicle to take my road test in, or do the Hazmat...

Im in the same boat as you kind of. I dont have any exprince, still working on gettin my class C CDL just waiting for a background check to clear for my hazmat. Im thinking Im going to either get signed up with Panther or Fed EX CC if I can. I figure go to one of the mega carriers, get experince...

This is just my advice, and I have yet to broke into the field. Im thinking getting the hazmat endorcement might help. If anything you might get more load offers, even if it dont pay a LOT more. Or say you go with a company that dont require it, you dont like it there, if you have your hazmat...

Thanks for the info guys :) I have heard A LOT of great things about Load 1 thats why I wouldn't mind trying to get in and work for them.

Was just wondering if anyone had the number to contact his name was Kevin I think. I left a voice mail saying im tryin to get hired on so if anyone had his extension number or any good tips on how to look better for load 1 would be greatly appreciated :D
