Looking for anything right now temporarily

When a company plans drivers on back to back loads with no spare time during heavy traffic in the northeast and expects you'll be unloaded in 30m or less its pretty clearly plannings fault for booking "just in time" freight

Some loads i was given i didnt even have enough time to get there if I drop and hooked, WEL had a fully incompetent dispatch and planning operation, I could write a book about the idiocy i dealt with working for them and that's before management stealing from me

 

Already requested copies, nothing on it, only 1 dispute ever and I shot it down because the carrier that put it there was just pissed I refused to work for them and tried to say they fired me (this is also why you decline orientation pay if you refuse a job, that way they cant do this)

(My b there is a "company policy violation" that isnt ever looked at because they refuse to clarify what it is, meanwhile they state i quit the job so it doesnt matter)

 

Two tickets..what are they for?

Without knowing the details no one can give you solid advice.

Florida blows for finding a OTR gig, no secret there. I actually started out working for a company out of Michigan. Every couple months I would fly home to Melbourne. Tickets were cheap so I always got a front row big window seat. Two beers later and I was home at my front door. Was the best job I ever had.

 

2 speeding 5 over and 9 over one drops off July 30th tho so it isnt an issue

 

I’ve seen a couple Walmart driving jobs come up around you in the last few months. Not sure exactly what they require from new applicants but I would definitely focus on trying to get on with them.
Been thinking to try getting on with them myself if I can make the cut.

I wouldn’t want to do that yard dog job either because of the Florida heat and humidity. Maybe it would be bearable if it was 8 hour shifts or night shifts. However if it was possible to move up into a OTR job with them I wouldn’t hesitate for a second.

Set a goal and do whatever you need to do to make it happen.

 

I didn’t see if you applied to Crete/Shaffer, but they have a terminal in DeLand, FL. I had a terrible time there but maybe you can work towards one of the Walmart accounts out west. I had a better time with the Cheyenne account; actually made money.

National Beef/Transport was desperate for drivers in FL a bit ago. Not sure if they’re good, but maybe they’ll be good enough otherwise.

Honestly, if you have the chance to go into trades/electrical work, I’d take it. Trucking isn’t going to get better for a while. You might not find what you want for a while, either. Good luck

 

How'd ya feel about either the companies I dropped on ya on page 2?

By the way
Mileage pay is BS
Work somewhere that pays %
Money will show yer hustle or lazy

 

Crete was one of the first I tried and denied me all 3 times ive applied, I know about 5 people there who said they'd go out of their way to try and get me fired from Crete so I dont think they're worth bothering anymore, I blocked them on pulse and dont think I'll reapply

 

Q: Looking for anything right now temporarily.
Requirements = No driver cams, no uniforms, no local/daycab and preferably 60cpm or higher and bare minimum $1200 a week.

Anything does not equal a list of requirements. Anything means "should provide income."

 

I cant do local because im trying to get out of my living situation, I cant rent because im not taking a risk a company screws me and im short on rent, whoops then im homeless, if I was paying rent with either of my last 2 employers I DEFINITELY would be homeless currently, its not worth risking if I cant pay for a house in full i consider it impossible

Economy is currently so bad and odds of me being able to buy a house in the next 5 years are 0 im heavily considering moving to a lower cost of living country
