Truck Driving Jobs for Experienced Drivers
Truck driving jobs at Premium Trucking Jobs are for the more experienced truck drivers, who have been on the road for at least three years and whose driving record reflects the serious attitude they take concerning their driving career. Many trucking companies are striving to retain experienced drivers, lower driver turnover, better customer satisfaction and lower accident ratio are just a few of the reasons that truck driving jobs for experienced drivers are receiving more attention now.
To this end there are certain companies that you will not see on Premium Trucking Jobs, however trucking company size is not a determining factor in which companies will be represented here. This site is not for companies who run a turnstile operation on drivers. Premium Trucking Jobs is for companies who are committed to finding and retaining the best truck drivers available. Driver pay is just one consideration, other factors such as home time as promised, well run dispatch programs, and driver settlement programs that utilize today's technology so drivers can access their pay in a timely fashion.
Our experience has also shown that smaller trucking companies often offer the best compensation package for drivers. These smaller trucking companies may be unknown to you, but may be worth looking into. Many of these companies were started by former OTR drivers and understand the truck driver's and owner operator's concerns. If you have less experience than three years, please visit Truck Driving Jobs to apply for jobs that require less over the road driving experience. A trucking company hiring experienced drivers is looking for quality drivers also. Truck driver jobs for truckers with excessive accidents, recent dui or felony convictions are not going to be found at Premium Trucking Jobs. The typical company found on here has an outstanding reputation with its truck drivers and its freight customers. Some of the jobs may require speciality training, permitted hauls, or maybe with heavy haul trucking companies. We will try and offer a variety of driving positions to all applicants, if you know of a trucking company you would like to see listed on here, please advise us.
There are numerous opportunities for truck drivers who approach truck driving as professionals. Understandably, some drivers prefer flatbed driving, and others prefer reefer and dry van companies. I know of several truck drivers who still run flatbeds and are over 70 years old, and I have known drivers who want to pull vans and no touch freight as they get older. This site is dedicated to providing today's most qualified drivers with a means of applying to a variety of trucking companies that are hiring, who are committed to working with them as professional truck drivers. Premium Trucking Jobs strives to provide the truck driver recruiter with a powerful tool to reach a large number of drivers that meet their hiring criteria.

If you were to have asked me as a kid what the greatest athletic honor a youth could posess, I would have answered, a Little League World Series Championship. I never won that title, we finished second once and I was always proud for coming close. Not that I had anything to do with our team making it that far, I was a journeyman player even as a kid. Fast forward to this past weekend and the USSSA World Series in Rock Hill, SOuth Carolina.
Patrick our 11 year old loves sports. he is quite small for his age, actually he is really small, less than 70 pounds, but he has the heart of a linebacker, even if his frame is more like a flanker. He is a good basketball player, but whatever his shortcoming in size, he makes up for with his attitude and coaches I think weigh this when they are chosing their all star teams. After playing on a basketball team, that won two super regionals in AAU and defeating the other AAu teams throughout the Southeast, his team came back to play in the State Championships, which they won in a close game. Pat played very little in that Championship game, and he too received the same medal that the guys who palyed the entire game. The victory was sweet, but not as sweet when he started on the team that won the same championship two years earlier. That team was made up of local kids, not kids from all over the state that come together for the sole purpose of winning and bringing glory to themselves. I reflected that night, that I thought even though our 2005 team had less athletic talent, they overcame more talented teams by playing together as a team. This weekend's World Series was a nod back to the old days of kids getting together from one neighborhood to go play the kids in the next neighborhood.
Somewhere along the way, the birth of the super teams took place. It was after my Little League days, but long before today's travel teams. USSSA set up a tournament that emphasized the teams made up of local kids and I enjoyed that. In our case it was Mountain Brook versus Old Providence of South Carolina. Mountain Brook lost its first game to OP, but it was close. On Friday, elimination play began and we were fortunate enough to win thanks to a big first inning and were able to hang on in the late innings to hold off OP's comeback bid.By winning both of our elimination games, we were able to advance to the final game without playing through the brackets on Saturday.
By not playing games back to back immediately before the Championship series, we conserved pitchers, which was a great advantage. Our bats were less than stellar and sometimes our gloves were less than our best. OP earned its way into the World Series Finals by winning all of its games following their loss to us earlier in the elimination round. Even though we were fresher, OP had momentum. That momentum led to a big first inning the first game of the series championship and they held on to win. Mountain Brook came within two runs of erasing a 10 run deficit in the final inning of the first game and the bases were loaded when the final out was made.
Momentum now had shifted, even after losing the Mountain Brook kids felt good because of their comeback earlier. Patrick scored the go ahead run and I knew he felt good about himself. Its one thing to play on a championship team, its another to know you made a signifigant contribution to your team's success. In the fourth inning, Pat struck out, swinging at two horrible pitches, the first bad swing led to the second. he was crushed, thinking he had let his team down.
The top of the sixth inning found us tied. Pat was second batter and the first batter had reached base. With the go ahead run on first, I knew Pat would be bunting to move the runner into scoring position. He laid down the perfect bunt, the runner advanced, and the OP throw to first base was off its mark. Both runners advanced, Pat on second, Hunter Holcombe on third. A hit followed and both scored. Hunter pitched out of a bases loaded with one out scenario to get his save and we won the tournament.
After years of finsihing second in every tournament we played in, we won our first, it just happened to be the biggest. But the victory was made sweeter since the kids on the team, live in our little village, and in the world of a soon to be sixth grader, nothing could be better than returning to school as a World Series Champion.
