If your job offer doesn't contain a DOT number, it will not get past moderation and will not appear in the forum. The other requirements in the sticky at the top of this section are still required as well. Thank you for understanding.

    I have to post this on here since I cannot yet send PMs
    Kansas-
    to quickly answer your ???
    It isn't home time or money--I get plenty of both--it is living thru the never ending growing pains of a small family company quadrupling in size with plans on expanding further.
    It is more the type of work we are doing now--the new customers we have added and the type of customer.
    Basically I am now working HARDER NOT SMARTER, and with the addition of way too much office staff quickly becoming a number--which I never have been and do not intend to become one at this point in my career.
    Although in the companies defense--I completely understand the need for the new rules etc. Not to mention on more than one occasion the Owner(2d generation)has taken me aside and thanked me for hangin in and reminded me how much he appreciates me and appreciates what I do.
    Hope this clears up some of your questions
     
    mje Thanks this.

    Don't have to go anywhere and ask--I know all the good drivers here we r all friends small trucking community--I was o/o for 30 years till wife got cancer and life changed
    For the last 8 years I've been with the BEST company around--BUT if u read OP boss is retiring and 3d and some 4th Gen kids taking over and it is changing drastically and will probably work for them BUT they have already started we went from 15 truck family now a 65 truck co. With plans to double again in next year--And im not comfortable in that enviornment--& since I am notina financial position to buy another truck and trailer(which I would in a heartbeat)due to my wife's prolongded illness--I was/am putting out feeler to someone or small company--that might could use an older very experienced safe reliable hand
    Simple as that and
    YES I am still looking--or being very picky some would says
    So if there is anyone out there needing a solid hand. I would appreciate speaking with you:D
    Thank You very much!

    359 - I would love to talk to you personally to see if we are a fit. We are a small company that runs dedicated and extra board runs thru FedEx out of Charlotte or Greensboro, NC. All runs drop and hook only. We currently have a husband and wife team that runs the extra boards and pretty much stays out as long as they want. The majority of our other team runs average 4800 to 5500 miles per week and are typically out 4 to 5 days and home 2 to 3. Please PM me with contact or send to k.mecumtrucking@gmail.com and let's talk further. If we are a fit great, if not safe travels and good luck with your search.
