Fired from Cypress Truck Lines and now not many companies will touch me

Oh ok, so basically if you’re driving a 53, you'll have multiple stops.

 

Cool.

 

Central in my region pulls a lot of 53’s but some regions they pull doubles and triples. Dock work can be yard dogs. But I mean on the dock with a forklift. For instance I worked at Saia. Dock guys made $26-$30 an hour with plenty of OT. They drove a forklift loading trailers. Hardly any physical lifting. Saia trained dock workers to become CDL drivers and eventually become City local or Linehaul drivers. Which you have your CdL they can train you on how to drive with a trainer if need be. $26-$30hr pays a lot more then a lot of companies pay new CDL drivers. Definitely more than OTR mega fleets. I know people have this pride thing of being a driver vs dock worker but if I had to do it over again I would have took a dock worker position at a LTL company and became a driver. Companies I’m referring for example is Estes, Saia, FedEx freight, R&L carriers, ABF, Old Dominion, XPO in no particular order.

 

So what you mean is, they fired you because this "trainer" or both of them actually can't do their job worth a ####? That is some nonsense. It's literally their job to teach you to do load securement.

 

I see Central drivers out here on I-20 going west of Fort Worth,TX, morning, noon and night LOL.. I stop after work at the QT in Weatherford, TX a lot and I almost always see a Central truck, they seem to be happy enough..best of wishes to you, brother, keep us posted..
