Looking for anything right now temporarily

I need something, just so I can say im employed

(You know for the companies like EW Wiley who demand 1 year at prior carrier for some god unknown reason)

 

Yeah im looking for anything but if its low end i just need it so I can say i worked there, still gonna mark it as temp employment either way

If i find a real job I might stay but if its low pay its getting marked as a temp agency on my resume

Am doing it the right way. Had to steal food as a child just to eat or have money, been homeless due to my broke drug addict father being abusive, been to multiple trade schools and graduated all of them, have experience in construction and electrician work but cant find a job where I live, jobs have been dried up for 10+ years in Tampa area and nothing hires without 5+ years experience, i live in an area that's an experience only market and I decided to actually change paths in life instead of going with a career path of armed robbery or drug dealing growing up wondering wether the next hoodlum was gonna stick a gun to my head or if my house was gonna get swatted because my drug addict father

There is no sense of accomplishment because nomatter how hard i work theres no reward so excuse me for not really caring about my career until some company finally shows me i should have a reason to care by handing me a reasonable amount of money for honest work, life owes me a lot more than what ive been handed and this thread is showing me I should probably have just stuck with the career criminal route and risk my life since im obviously too entitled to go out and work for it

I have 0 faith in any job or having any reason to be positive in life until I can start earning what im rightly owed because I have more than enough evidence to show working for free isnt it.

Nobody ever got anywhere in life breaking their back for just food, not looking to make my career income and retirement be food stamps

I dont have the financial ability to go to college or pursue certifications for other career fields, I got into trucking because it was free and pays well with the right company

I need a job currently just so I can say im employed and take as much time off as possible until a real paying job comes up (personally at 50cpm id rather work a month or two a year and take the rest of the year off as long as they'll say I worked for em that time, its not about the money with a low paying job I just need the 1 year garbage that clown hiring process management at companies like EW Wiley require (which is garbage because I was with my last company 8 months before I finally couldn't afford to even eat anymore and needed to just quit)

Personally there isnt any control to life everything is luck and working hard rarely earns anything im living proof of that, if the money isnt there its simply not there

You're making the same nomatter how many miles you run with low pay carriers, hence why its not worth doing anything but the bare minimum to not have them fire you which is why until I get a good carrier im just gonna coast and mark every job a temp agency until I find the right carrier to work long term for since references in trucking have no value anyway

Trust me when I find a carrier paying 60cpm to 70+cpm that doesn't try to treat me like a slave ill run hard and work because theres actually earning potential, otherwise I need as much time stationary as possible so i can go collect the money I need begging, I was begging at the truck stop enough times working at WEL probably someone here has probably seen me or paid for my meal at some point

 

Do the math? Average miles right now are about 1500-1800 for dry van and refrigerated at 50cpm that's $750 a week you on average spend $12-$35 a meal depending on where you eat and if youre trying to eat healthy, you spend at least $10 a day on drinks average so let's say for numbers sake you only eat 2 meals a day at $20 and the $10 in drinks for the day, that's $350 a week so $400 left a week that means you have $1600 at the end of the month that's not even enough for rent in most places

So you have $19,200 left at the end of the year after your food/drinks, that's not including car payments, bills, medical visits, insurance or anything else, can you live on $19k a year? I certainly cant even with minimal obligations I have

After the amount for my phone bill and the amount I have to pay my scum father to stay in this garbage place that's falling apart id only have 14k left

Let's say i stayed and worked that wonderful wonderful 50cpm job for years and say the economy didnt improve for the foreseeable future say 10 years that's just under 143k, or even say next 30 years I save up a whopping 428k! Not enough for a house, not enough to move, not enough to safely purchase a truck not enough to retire

So why are you selling me that 50cpm is a good deal when anyone with so much as a 5th grade education could do the math and tell its not worth getting out of bed for

(Numbers aren't exact to what i said but I did do the math)

Id be lucky to buy an RV or a run down mobile home in my life and be eating dog food in retirement at that rate and if that's what Im expected to look forward to in life just send me to God sooner life is a joke

 

Try 7 days a week 350 days a year was my record? That was my 2024 and I only made $28,000

Want to lecture me more on how I should just work hard and it'll all be fine? Because that's what working hard got me last year not including what I was owed and still never paid

And no i have family in law enforcement, military, even a cousin in secret service most of them dont care about the rest of the family and I have nothing to lean on because they're not there for anyone except their direct kin, they'll only care about you if you start sliding them free beer considering most of them are alcoholics

So not really I dont have anyone else i really care about besides myself

Working endlessly just to not break even is stressful, i was making decent money til late 2023 then its just been downhill, exhausted what little savings I had. I had to sell my car for a fraction of what I bought it for just to eat

I wanna be able to take time off. Have a hobby do anything besides stare at the wall in the truck or drive down the road 24/7 365 no free time will drive anyone to madness, even owner ops making that truck payment take a couple days off
