The Fedex on beltline in Grand Prairie had a Hiring Drivers sign out for awhile you might try them. We're pretty slow right now or I'd try and get you on at my work I drive a local flatbed/piggyback delivering shingles....

Not hatin, but Screw Raider express. I worked there for 3 weeks and it was total b.s, Slow trucks, no miles, and terrible dispatchers, not too mention low pay Just my .02 Your better off with Swift or JB Hunt lol.

Try Southwest Traders Inc in Duncanville. If you have a clean background and decent driving record they'll hire you (now). I don't know the # but I know they are hiring for local grave yard drivers. I don't think they'll trip off your age Raider Express was the only co I got on with a few years ago b/c of age minimum, I don't think Southwest has an age req so long you're over 18.

Tanker endorsement isn't going to be much good without hazmat. Get your homeland background completed, get the hazmat, and you make great cash hauling gas. But, with only 1 year experience, it may be difficult. A lot of companies want 5+ years experience with an X endorsement.

Even though I don't drive anymore, I make sure to keep my A with d/t's, and X. Never know when you'll need it. I also keep my medical card up to date.

You're absolutely correct, the trucks are slow as hell. But you can get in with little or no requirements, or experience. The guy is only 21, he can't have to much exp.
