beging to think geting my cdl was a joke

You may very well have to try to hire on out-of-state, and count on little to no hometime for awhile.
And, as well, this may mean having to hire on to one of those big companies that everyone likes to rag on, such as Swift, JB, etc.

Good luck to you!

If you really want to be in this business...Relocate.

 

Or, at least" relocate" to a family member or friends who lives in a state that is hiring.(as in, use the mailing address, with the family member/friends consent, making sure to pick up any and all mail ASAP)).

However, this does mean that you would only get "home" to that address....also, to get to the yard, you will have to pay your own expenses..

Have you tried to go to any local companies.. dump trucks, paving companies, concrete plants..?? Marble, or granite quarries? How about any airports near you?

Have you tried more regional companies? Logging, chip hauling? (Currier Trucking outa Gorham, NH)?? I worked for them way back when and lived in N. Haverhill, NH.. Had no trouble getting home..

 

how about pottles or dysarts out of maine??

 

I'm not trying to be a jerk here but if you go to that company (England) your wife and kids will still be out on the street, You just won't be home to see it happen...But look at the bright side, You'll be so broke that you'll probably never see them again anyway so you won't have to explain to them why you decided to go to work for a company that everyone knows starves their drivers and never gets them home! The other benefit is you'll be teamed with a perfect stranger with no manners, personal hygene or common sense that doesn't know how to drive so that the whole nightmare can end with you dying in your sleep in a firey crash so you'll never have to answer for the bad decisions that led you to your ultimate demise.


Sounds like a good plan to me!
