Hey thanks for info. Yeah maybe your're right not to assume any company I apply to is taking on drivers - let alone rookie when it comes to expediting. I was just worried If I apply now, that whatever recruiter I talk to will throw my app to the side and forgotten about when they here I'm not...

Question 1) I've done my research. Looks like I get conflicting answers. Is it worth it to go into Canada or do you lose in the long run? (Looking to drive straight truck or van -solo - driving for owner). I have no criminal so crossing border not a problem itself. Question 2) I'm going to...

Hey thanks for reading my post. I have a question, and from my research on past threads I think I probably know my answer unfortunately. I'm more hoping that something changed. What are the realities of being a solo fleet driver in a straight truck (or van - maybe) and living out west (Santa...
