I NEED A JOB :(

Thank God for Tenstreet Driver Pulse, i'm up to 43 active applications haha.

apparently there's two Oakleys that run tanks, applied for both as well as Clean harbors

Thanks! their amenities are impressive. Applied.

Thanks! Just finished applying with John N John. Will take a break and look into the other two.

 

I applied for Wynne about 2 months ago, but they never followed up. Just shot them another App just in case.

I'll let ya know if they reach out to me, perhaps I could use you as a reference so that you could get a bonus

NGL, I've been adamant on trying to get on with Robbie since April. Applied 3 times, Called their "Driver Recruiting" extension 6 times business hours they never pickup. I'll probably drop by their Terminal and introduce myself in person when I update my hazmat after the 4th of July.

Going to shoot Western International & Messer an app right now

 

I keep thinking the problem must be me, but on paper I should be an ideal candidate. Recruiters have sent copies of DAC reports and Background checks. All my former companies have me set to "Eligible for Rehire: Yes" and "Job Performance: Satisfactory" So I didn't burn any bridges per se. Zero documented accidents. Passed several DOT inspections.

I thought it could be the Cat holding me back, but recruiters would have reached out first in which I would have addressed their pet policy, as it's never been asked on but like 3 of the +50 applications I've submitted.

It's probably just slow in tankers due to the economy as @Chinatown has confirmed. I've applied for 6 Reefer companies as suggested.

This is just a speculation but being unemployed and watching the news, there's been so many train derailments this year, it's Terrifying. A common denominator seems to be overloaded trains causing the derails. I actually had a chat with a recruiter out of East Palestine, Ohio, he was talking about how hard it would be for a train engineer to see several miles back if a car's brakes were on fire.

It had me wondering--again this is just speculation--why would they be overloading trains which reduce trucker loads? I know the railroad industry is heavily unionized, and is receiving subsidies from the current administration. Did Covid play a role in this?

Anyways, I'll keep my nose on the grindstone and continue to hammer out applications. I just wanted to Thank Everyone for your input. You have all helped me out tremendously! Keep the shiny side up! Be Safe! God Bless! and Happy 4TH Of JULY Week!
