Need advice.. Recent Grad can't get job

can the moderators consolidate all the "I just went to trucking school without researching the job market, and now I can't get a job" posts into ONE thread? there's a new one on here about every 3 minutes.

 

seriously lol..

 

That would be a little difficult,as each person wanting to ask a question would be hijacking someone else's thread..

 

You have a few things going against you. One you just graduated and most companies insurance companies require at least 1-2 yrs before they will hire you.. Second you are a business owner, so when a company see this, you are more likely to the last they will hire, as there are plenty of people without jobs, who would need it more then you.. Basically you answered you own question within your post. But keep looking someone might look at your business skills as a plus for them.. Personally I would drive for Swift before Werner, I did both and Swift was better hands down IMOHOP..

 

Heck, that happens everyday........

 

It's because there are to #### many drivers for the amount of jobs available. Plus from the way I read your post you are wanting a local job? Good luck with that.

 

but they're all asking the same question. that was my point. sorry, but do any of the new guys read any of the posts on here which already pertain to their question?

maybe they could include this question in a FAQ section somewhere.

"I went to truck driving school because I was laid off in ____ _____ industry, thinking it would be easy to get an easy job making big bucks. I didn't do any research before I went to driving school and I'm just now finding out that trucking companies have laid off thousands just like every other industry. I'm now out $$$$$ and can't find a job. what should I do?"

answer - no one on here can do anything about the fact that trucking companies aren't hiring. you're NOT the only one in that boat. sorry. you'll just have to get in line with the other (how ever many hundreds of thousands it is) drivers who are trying to find another job, as well as the thousands of students that the trucking schools are squirting out every month.

 

Your would think that the local unemployment office, would do a better job an informing potential students, that the trucking industry is not the best place to start. When I was laid off the government said they would front $3000 dollars for training in any field I wanted. Problem was that truck driving was the only one that fight in their allowed price.. All other's I have looked at wanted any where from $10,000-$20,000 for training..
