Thank you for your response. I will talk to them and probably go for the third choice since i already have experience with containers and its closer to home. Also i really don’t want to go to New York.

 

Thank you for taking your time looking up those local jobs around me. I only have 8 months of experience and currently employed for Transcorps at Harrisburg delivering containers out of the ramp to distribution centers all over PA. Do you think i should stay there for 1 year experience? Only reason i want to leave its becuase i have to drive 1hr and 30 mins to work and back.
I like the free healthcare idea, i pass by bimbo bakeries everyday when going to work. I will probably look into that and also black horse, they have lovely new trucks.

 

Hahaha! I drive to pittston from harrisburg everyday on 81N and those uphills and downhills from the mountains are no joke!

 

I drive my car 1hr:30 from Allentown to Harrisburg. Get in my truck for 10-13 hours then drive back in my car to Allentown for another 1hr:30. Brenigsville its only 10 mins from my house.
