Denver area info

It worked for me. It's just a list of openings for ABF. No other info. The ABF website would probably have more info.

 

Looks like $20.78856 per hour but if you get ahold of someone in Denver I would ask them.

 

trucking industry is booming out there. have family out that way. lots of trucking jobs there. especially the oil/gas/petroleum fields.

 

look at

Old Dominion (LTL)
Yellow Freight (YRC) (LTL)
Conway (LTL)
SAIA (LTL)
Estes (LTL)
NPT (North Park Transportation)
Tuttle and Tuttle (Tanker)
Carter Energy (Tanker)
Groendyke (Tanker)
FedEx (LTL)
UPS (LTL)
Coors/Miller (Golden)
Anheuser Busch (Ft. Collins/Denver/Littleton/Colorado Springs/Pueblo)

 

Coors and Anheuser, you better know someone if you want a job there, they don't have their own trucks, only hostlers, everything else is farmed out or OTR. Groendyke requires winter mtn. exp., IIRC it's one yr in the last 5 yrs, and that includes chaining. The LTL's are hiring, but they are also farming out a lot of their line haul stuff.

Oh, and there is a lot of competition for driving jobs out here, last time we hired three drivers, we got 175 applications in two days, fax, email and in person.

 

You can go to the Denver Post's website if it's still up and running and look for jobs, Striker is right, most if not all companies will want mountain driving experience at least that was the way it was back in the 80's - 90's when I was thinking of moving out there.

 

I work for MBM (food delivery) here, there is as much work as you can stand. (literally you get a day off by running out of hours), it pays amazingly well.

You do have to unload the truck of course, but we use liftgates and electric pallet jacks.

I just started 2 months ago, they just wanted 9 months of experience in the last 3 (pretty typical of any driving job), drug free, etc. the usual stuff.

they always have an ad on craigslist.
