Thinking about driving again. Suggestions?

I work for a medical imaging Company. I mostly haul mobile medical scanners but I also pull a van otr for a dedicated acount we have on the side. It's a great gig, pay's real well, good vacation, insurance could be better, good people. We bobtail 60% of the time as we drop a scanner and bobtail back. I get paid the same though. I'l be in California next week, been doing alot of midwest lately.

I like it but the jobs in this field are limited but there is a good number of companies doing it. Plus it's out of the NORM for trucking jobs which is nice

 

MedicineMan,
Sounds like a great job,any of them available around New Mexico?

 

sportsoutlaw--where are you located? i looked in the previous posts but didn't catch it.

 

We don't run anything out there anymore. A while back we bought a company out there but basicly just took the equipment and eventually shut it down.

Alliance imaging is the biggest co in the country google them. or try to google mobile medical imagining NM, or interim medical imaging, NM. and see if that turns anything up

 

I'm pretty much in the same boat as you are, but I've only been out 1.5 yrs.; nevertheless, it is enough non-driving time so that I am really having a tough time finding a job, too. In my opinion, I feel that in order to re-establish ourselves we have to make some sacrifices, in the short-run, such as lower pay, fewer benefits, etc., in order to get that much needed "recent driving experience". With around six months under your belt you'd present yourself as a desirable candidate for hire and able to command far more acceptable terms. Good luck to us all!
