    Trucking is not for every body I let my license go because after seeing how hard it was to find and getting told no sorry but you don't have the qualifications for the job or what not I said this is not for me so with that im saying much much RESPECT!!!! To you drivers out there and I didn't get to fully live the life but I got a understanding so thank you all for what you do for this country

    With that said if anyone knows of non driving jobs that are in or around new castle pa let me know with a pm trying to get in the oil field out here I hear its getting big out in Ohio so anyone got some info on that let me know thank you all

    How much did you pay for your CDL? And you're just walking away? There are plenty of good non driving jobs, but you'll still need experience for those too. No way around it.

    I dont get the issue, I hear from all the magazines I read like Landline and CCJ that there is a shortage of quality drivers, there should be plenty of work out there.

    Its just not for me the only time I go to drive is when I got in at republic services but they let me go because I didn't know my way around Ohio so they pulled me after I think was my third month working there and said sorry its not going to work out and I just sat down and did some thinking its not for me I like hands on work didn't like to sit there driving all day thats why I give to men and women who can do it

    Try the water haulers running to the wells. Home daily, hands on, most use tri-axle straight tankers and it's hourly.

    Go to Norfolk Souther.com
    CSX.com and see what they are hiring in PA. You have to be willing to work weird hrs, safety is stressed and be willing to stay outside. Go to RRforums and find out how you interview. Keep on, never give up. My nephew is making (90)K as a conductor. PA is a good RR state but be willing to move to MN if you have to.

    yeah but you got a lot of competition for those rr jobs. And depending on the position, you get alot of layoffs also.
