    I haven’t posted in a while. Just figured I’d pop in and say hey. The company I was with closed there doors, it was a sad day for everyone. Took the first job I could get and now I’m delivery milk to the grocery store. Still trying to decide what is actually next for me. Fuel hauling? Cryo? Another ltl? Buy a truck? I’d like some other points of view. 3 years clean record all endorsements.

    Pulling boxes (reefer &/or dry van) is boring work -- & no one is happy to see you, when you reach your destinations. Bumping docks & dealing with most warehouse employee types is pretty much the bottom of the barrel. :rolleyes:

    Try hauling fuel, instead. :D

    It's easy work (once you get the hang of it), you're home every day -- & it's good money...IF you get on with a private fleet.

    After a while, if you decide hauling fuel is not for you, no worries -- if you stay with fuel long enough, & with a clean safety record -- your fuel experience will later open up A LOOOOTTT of doors for you, elsewhere. :thumbup:

    STAY FAR AWAY -- from buying or leasing a truck. Get A LOT MORE experience, first.

    Oh, been a while for me too, 2005, I think,,what? Oh, since posting,,,never mind. Hey, just be glad you HAVE a job, and milk to a food store is about as secure as you are going to get.
