Thinking of hanging up the keys

have you looked into LTL?

 

if i were to be laid off, that would tell me work is so slow, they WILL NOT BE HIRING anyone else.. (they would re-call you when things pick up again)....you are fired essentially, and this being the case, i'd tell them to "pound sand" to train YOUR REPLACEMENT...
i see no rhyme or reason to "lay off" someone, only to replace him...?? you got whacked, and they are what else, lying to you....put in a claim for unemployment, but at the same time, file a COMPLAINT for this with the labor board, let the company explain how one can be laid off but they are hiring a replacement..????

it IS burnout....i wouldn't do OTR either, and then too you NEED to remember, you gotta find parking for that truck/trailer as well. maybe you have all sorts of room or places to park at, but why go through that all over again..??

i too have tried each and every one of those companies, and you are right, they just ain't hiring (in many areas). do not forget FedEx merged with it's other company, so the need for drivers just isn't there.

you could try applying to UPS Freight however. they ARE (or were) taking applications (in many areas). i got 3 different apps for different jobs at the one near me.

 

well THAT SUCKS...not giving you guys a chance to even see if you'd drive the miles to get to work, seems they really didn't care about you guys after all...now it makes sense that they "laid you off"...

as for the ?new guy", as you said, what do you know what he did to or with the truck after he dropped you off, it ain't YOUR RESPONSIBILITY NO MORE.

try the typical Craig's List job search, Monster, i have been to a website called: logisticsJobsite: and this one : Engineer-Jobs : and your local unemployment office for job postings. as you said, you may not want to even drive no more (hang up the keys), so if you can do something else like run machinery then go for it...regular hours, pay, benefits, etc,etc.

 

Beware craigslist! There's a guy on here says he got shafted out of three weeks pay by an O/O on there. I hate it for you bro. Good luck.

 

I wouldn't use a Craig's List printout to wipe my butt. It's a cesspool like Yahoo. Anyone hanging out in either place has not done their research or they want to hang out with thieves, pedophiles and misfits.

Sorry if this angers some, it was meant with all due respect but it is very factual.

 

Conway is on our craigslist in the Baltimore area!

 

You got laid off and they want you to train your replacement? I dont get it?
