    2 years experience? If he wants to go local, he can apply to plenty of LTL jobs while he's sitting. We are at the point in the season when they are hiring again.

    But yeah, never abandon the truck. Get it back to a terminal when quitting.

    If he doesn't mind a 100mile commute to the terminal every week, have him check out JRRW/JM Swank in North Liberty. Best company I ever ran for... 70mph trucks, home weekly, no touch ltl delivery out of their own warehouses, backhaul back to the warehouses, apus, inverters, start out with 3 weeks vacation, 5 personal days, health insurance is great. It's a small company, only around 150trucks throughout the U.S., but under the Conagra Foods umbrella so you get benefits at a very good cost. Strong 401k match, and a pension also. Pension is partially vested at 5 years, fully vested at 20. I worked there in 2011 and was paid .40/mile, 15$ per drop/pu (including the 1st pu/drop). Every time you hook to a trailer you or open the doors you get 15$. Averaged around 2000miles a week, and was home every weekend. Recruiters name is Jerry Wiand, give them a shout.

    I can tell you right now just from looking at the load board on the choice side the load board is very very thin in many areas right now even looking just a couple days out right now so that's probably why he's sitting there just is not very many loads out there right now
     
    mom Thanks this.

    Dude you're out there aren't you? How is she starting stuff?

    There will be no more arguments in wippers thread since Duddie can't post there anymore. And in the process I got thrown out of the thread too for being called an idiot and engaging him.

    All because some wimp was offended and hit the alert for the mods to come running in over nothing.

    Well the good thing is Duddie won't be messibg with you anymore FW lol

    she was banned as worriedmom some time ago.shes a piece of work that jumps to the negative and doesnt seem to want to consider real world trucking.

    as if sni is purposely targeting her baby trucker.

    Get in touch with Ryan, a home town Des Moines company. They have advertising looking for drivers locally for their Whole Foods contract. This tablet changes words. RUAN. Not Ryan.
