I would say your best bet will be a mom and pop operation. Big companies have their choice of people who they want. If you live out west. your husband would be in a better position of being pick up. Time for your husband to hit the street and put applications in
rocknroll nik Thanks this. -
I did not really look to see where he was located, but ever think about port trucking? Savannah is hopping. They need drivers bad.
reallywantstoknow Thanks this. -
I think IMO he will find another job. Wish you and your family gluck!

If you're paying attention to the intersection instead of trying to change the Merle Haggard tune on your iPod, you'll be able to anticipate what is going to happen 99.9% of the time and be prepared for it.

I agree.
But you must admit that there are some pretty stupid 4-wheelers out there. She said that a car cut in front of the truck and he had to brake hard. I don't find that so hard to believe, since I've had it happen to me during CDL school and I've seen it many times while driving in my car.
I forget which thread it is in but, there is a video of a car cutting off a tractor to get in the exit lane - and he got all smooshed out of shape because the trucker couldn't avoid it. -
If you can shift the cargo with a hard brake application or any maneuver , the cargo isn't secured properly.
The last thing I want to have on my mind in a panic situation is whether or not my load is going to shift.
Just the split second of thought about the cargo shifting can delay your reaction time enough to be the difference between a close call and a fatality.luvmyhubby and Bazerk Wizz Bang! Thank this. -
LOL, sometimes OTHER people simply force a driver to make a split second choice plain and simple. 4 wheelers are NOT prone to respecting a big rig, how many threads have been created to address that topic alone?
Yeah the big rig driver is usually the "one" that gets the blame, ticket etc but we ALL know someone who has gotten the blame when it truly was NOT their fault and they were simply TRYING to avoid the worse case situation.
Being HELPFUL is part of responding to posts; assuming will get ya no where. -
