    Well, I won't get the hostler job, they hired someone else. Now I'm hoping to get a job with Suburban Propane. Due to my current family situation I MUST get a local job, but so far I'm comin' up empty.

    Man o man, I live in a rural area. I see those guys driving the local Propane trucks and the BIG tanks comming in to the terminals with the Propane / LPG Gas. Makes me grit my teeth, and gives me the shivers.:biggrin_25524:It seems like you'd be driving an atomic bomb with a steering wheel and tires on it. Back in my Paramedic days, I saw a train derailment where one of those things went off. It was like freakin' Nagasaki. It blew buildings out for blocks. Call me a weenie if you want, but there are two things I don't like messing with.... electricity and flammable gas.

    Well, I finally got a job! It's a semi-local job where I'll be driving about 400 miles to a bread warehouse in Clackamas, OR, 10 hr break, and return the next day and deliver the bread to local Winco stores. I don't know what it's gonna pay, but I'm just looking for a way to gain experience at the moment. I do know I'll get paid for each stop and I'll be unloading myself. At least it's a start, anyway.

    I assume you are also bringing a load into Clackamas, will that be a dedicated thing or a different place each turn?

    I don't have all the details yet, I guess I didn't ask enough questions. I do know that some drivers go all the way out to Eastern Idaho and some go to Northern California, and occasionally Salt Lake City. As far as bringing a load to Clackamas, unsure except when they pickup empty bread pallets and return them to the warehouse. Either way, they pay by trip miles loaded or empty, IF I remember correctly. I know I was told this at the interview but I'm having a memory lapse at the moment. Plus I've been through so many interviews lately it's hard to keep them all straight.
