construction superintendent to driver?

Thanks for the thoughtful post,


I have spent a year trying to do just that, and unless I want to work for 15.00 and hour there just isn't much to be had.

I am not willing to learn Spanish so i am excluded from many "openings" just for that.

I search every job I am qualified for each day, have a placement company working to place me in a position nation wide and since I was laid off over a year ago I have had one interview, along with the other 200 guys that they called in...

I am just about as sick as a person can be of that pursuit.

I have always worked out of town, usually home a couple weekends a month at the most. Have been happily married for over twenty years even with the time spent away. I am sure I will find the trucking industry a welcome change providing I pay attention to all the business aspects of becoming a driver.

all the best,
J

 

just thought i would give an update,
My Brother is on his way to pick up our truck in Dallas should be in it within the hour.
all we have left to do is file the 2290, any one know the best way to do that?
thanks,
Joe

 

Okay the truck is in the driveway,
It's an 04 freightliner century with a Detroit.

Tomorrow he will be installing all the toys, CB (slightly tweeked) new stereo, 21" video and he will be looking for a fridge.

The left turn signals quit working on the way home and he was pretty lit up because the lamps tested okay. If anyone knows of a common problem with this a little help would be greatly received.

All the best,
Joe
