If I was going to go to work for someone, I would try to get on at Wal-Mart.

You don't wanna drive those slow trucks, but you don't wanna go O/O either. Wrong time to be doin that. Everybody I know in that business is hurtin includin the last guy I drove for. Sad to say, I might be doin it again before long too if I can't find some money to keep goin to school with. Thats a tough one there Cowboy. Need to find you a small company with fast trucks movin equipment. That drive-on drive-off freight is the only way to go

Guess I better sell my truck then........ The benefits and pay schedule of wal-mart is pretty good from what I have looked into it. It pays to be in a slow truck there.
