It's one of the few things I haven't done.

As some of you know I sold my t/t a few weeks ago and decided that after 25 years of chargeable accident and ticket free otr I was done. I applied at a few co's for local driving positions but was either not considered or it was too slow yet to hire so I decicded to go outside the box. I was offered a job more or less at my local bank as a personal banker (loan apps, annuities, etc) I decided that it would be to expensive to replace my wardrobe which consists of one ill fitting suit for weddings and funerals and blue jeans, shirts and t-shirts, I have no Dockers or Polo golf shirts.

I also applied online as a counter sales associate at O'reilly auto parts, I put my location in and within 24 hours I had an interview at a store 15 miles from my house. I interviewed and based on the salt in my hair I was offered an assitant mgr's position, the pay is lousy but the way I figure things it is one more line in my resume of Co. driver, O/O, heavy truck mechanic and independant.

I'll give no more than 8 months and review my options then, if things are going good I'll stick it out for a couple years to give myself some experiance, if not I'm going to go to a 7 on 7 off co. and run regional or buy another t/t and run regional as an indy again.

What I have never done is manage people, this could be interesting.

 

I'll never give up my CDL, but that won't stop me from expanding my horizon.

 

LOL! Thanks!
