Maverick Transportation

I agree with u 100%. Especially in this economy...I was in a similar situation until I started showing that I was a realator...as I had been doing it part time.
You will be successful where ever you go. Keep us posted!

 

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement.

And thank you for your service!

 

You are most welcome and thank you for you service as well!

 

hey jim if I live in Philadelphia what would my hometime look like for maverick?

 

I'm easy to spot. I'm the guy at the Pilot at 6pm doing Nascar laps thinking just maybe on this 30 second lap there's a hole I missed before.

Didn't einstein or some other brainiac once say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result?

 

I would think it would be decent...we haul out of choke a chicken a lot...would check with recruiter to be sure.though.p

 

I was at the old mansion house across the street a few months ago and a trucker was in there cracking himself up telling the bar tender how funny it is calling Consh "choke a chicken.' Guess the term is "in play" out there.

For what it's worth he part of town where Mittal is located is actually called Conoughtown.

If you are ever looking for a truely great italian hoagie (it's called a "Zep" here) We get them two or three times a week and they are to die for.
hit up the DJ shell station just around the corner from Mittal at 1100 East Main Street Norristown, PA 19401-2720. Check out my yelp review www.yelp.com/biz/dj-shell-llc-norristown

And come to think of it the shell is in norristown but that part of town is called Mc Geetown.

Anyhow. Cheers

 

Well maybe with your upper management abilities, and you're excelled abilities LOL sorry couldn't help myself. In a year and a half you could not find a job? Maybe maverick is afraid to spend $5000 on training you and then you find a job back in your industry and quit. It happens quite often I've seen it a lot in my years. I'm not saying that you would not stay trucking or that you would not like it. But most guys that I've known that came from management only come to trucking as a last resort. At lease 95% that I know of are usually gone in three months or less.
Just my personal two cents worth.

I wish you the best in your job search. If your abilities are half as good as you say, you should do fine.

 

Yeah, that's right, I couldn't find a job in my field in the region of the county in which I live. I moved back to my home area in order to assist with the care of my ailing mother. It took me a year and a half to find a position here when I first moved back at half my previous salary. Let's just say that I don't live in a "high tech mecca" like the one I moved from, Austin, TX. So, there aren't that many C-level positions in this area and the lower level jobs are being filled by kids right out of college.

As for my excelling in my previous positions, I wasn't trying to brag, I was merely stating a fact. I've increased profitability in every position that I've held in the private sector.

As for Maverick worrying about my training costs, they would not have been out a penny for my training as I'm going to a community college with no corporate "sponsorship" and I doubt their orientation and OTR time with a trainer costs them $5000/new driver.

And as for finding a job in my industry later, that's highly unlikely. I haven't been able to find one in this region in 2 years looking for a full time job full time. So, it's unlikely that I'll find one not looking at all while I'm out on the road driving a truck. The only way that I'd probably ever work in my former industry again would be if I moved to another area. And as long as my mother is still alive, I will not leave the region permanently.

Thanks for your comments and good wishes.

 

Yes I know you weren't bragging about excelling I just couldn't help myself with a little dig. As for the training costs you have to look at orientation pay for two weeks in the classroom. Then another 3 to 4 weeks with a trainer. Time they get done paying you and the instructors they will be 5000+ dollars.
That's not counting what is costing you to get a CDL license. One thing I would look into would be roehl transportation. They have a in-house CDL school. The cost for their school is very reasonable. And after driving 120,000 miles for them your school costs are totally reimbursed.
That's where I sent my son to get he's CDL. Is still working for them and doing fine. Plus with roehl they have several different positions. So you can do different types of trucking and never have to change jobs or company.
Once again I wish you the best of luck. And with your attitude and hard work I think you'll do just fine in this industry. I hope your mother is doing well.
