What are my regional/Local options?

us xpress,jb hunt, companies like that. will be your best option. and it is kind of dumb to quit over the possiblty you might have to work thanksgiving. so you should probably just suck it up for now. and remember thanks giving isn't here yet. so you don't know what's going to happen until the day before.

 

You can try Golden State Foods they are located in the city of industry...I worked for them for 33 years here in N.C. great place! Home most nights delivering fast food though , so it's a hands on job.

 

I would stay with the funiture job. it doesn't sound that bad. and it's the middle of the week. so if they have work for you. don't turn it down. just go with it. it sounds like you are new to the job. so give it a year. and then decide if you want to change.

 

I think some companies are better, some are worse, but you probably need a bit more experience before you can jump ship. The fact that you left after a month two years ago and are ready to leave now after two months may put you in a negative light with prospective employers, even if you could find someone to hire you (which I doubt).

After you get more time under your belt, you can go anywhere you want.

 

Stick with the job for 6 months at least. Check Careerbuilder website for local jobs and start making plans. Don't jump ship too early or you may end up worse off with some mega refrigerated carrier, low pay and never home.
