Many of us are aware of the new csa-2010 rolling-out. I've found myself seeking work with more strict criteria than ever before. After almost a month of submitting applications, I've found myself with no phone calls.
Most states are in need of money right now. I feel the tight economy is causing more tickets to be issued for minor violations. I've received four in the last year. Two not coming to a complete stop before turning on Red. One obstructing Traffic. One failure to Obey Sign (No Trucks).
A little advice to all my Brethren drivers, keep your record clean. I received a separation notice from Dunkin' Donuts in January. Every application I submit is followed by a policy reminder of 3 violations in three years.
I'm now seeking a Delivery Helper position. To say the least, it's humiliating. Being terminated really made me feel useless. Now difficulty finding work is making for lower.
Keep the record clean and there is plenty of work for experienced drivers. It looks like I'm out for a little while.
My Record got me

I would agree, the best dispatchers (or whatever the company calls them) are former drivers. You feel their pain. You know when they are blowing off steam and don't take it personally. You have realistic expectations of time vs. distance, because you know what it's like out there!
Go across the street and apply at New Century. I've delivered to Dunkin there in Jersey and know their terminal is spitting distance. They seem to be a pretty good outfit, they did local cartage into NYC for my former job.
Then if the office sucks too bad, in a little while your record will clear up and you can come back and join us in our madness!
