Need work in Denver, CO

there are some tanker companies out here, the catch, you need mtn. exp. almost any trucking company hireing local/regional is going to require a minimum of 12 mos., most want 24 mos. of recent mtn. driving exp. Groendyke is the main one that I know of, there are some others, but regardless, it comes back to my first comment.

 

Good luck. I am going back on the road because I can't afford to be local anymore. Co is a sanctuary state....so the illegal mexicans are rampid here. Good luck competing with them for business and jobs. Alot of folks I know are in the same boat as I am here.

 

My wife has been trying to get a job in CO SPG-DEN for 6 years and NO-ONE pays anything near the $90,000 she needs to get to move from her current job as a manager. They offer $50,000 and she just laughs and says, "Well, offer me a $50,000 bonus every year and I'll be right there."

 

Not to mention housing prices here are rediculous!

 

I didnt figure the housing would cost that much, I was told by more then one source that I could get a low end apt for 400-500 a month and in that kind of scenery I would be fine with the crappiest hole in the wall or white trashey trailer I could find. Either way though I decided to scrap the idea, Im gonna persue a job with Superior Carriers... I got a good friend that works there and likes it alot, Im gonna try to negotiate an over the road position for a couple years then move into a local position when Im ready. Im not feeling very decisive right now about what I wanna do but I need to make a move. I'd like to keep my options open to relocate eventually and at the same time I dont wanna bounce around from job to job, I want get the job I'll retire doing. I still have to make the phone calls to my cousin and the tanker driver from Denver who both volunteered to help me get situated telling them I punked out. I'm not looking forward to that!

 

yeah you can probably find a 1 bd apt. in the Springs or some parts of Denver for $500. If you can find a company in the area that will hire you and train you for mtn. then that's the way to go, but even that's gonna depend on their insurance.

 

Good to know!
