My friend and fellow driver recently reunited with his high school sweetheart. For the record, he just turned 60. It turns out, she lives in southern California, 20 miles due east of LAX, very near where the 105 ends at the 605. They will be getting married and he will be moving out there.
The issue is the company we work for barely crosses the Mississippi River. He is looking for a job when he gets out there in a couple of days.
He has driven 20+ years, clean record, and pulled a chemical tank for about 6 months. Lastly, he is kinda picky about what he wants to do. He wants be home nightly or at least every week, has to be a company with a terminal or drop yard within about a 30 mile drive, and he does not want to do pick-up and delivery stuff like Yellow Freight, FedEx, etc. He said he is too old to be tugging pallets anymore.
Searching Indeed, Monster, and various other job sites bring up a lot of possibilities but most of them are companies he and I have never heard of, simply due to our company not going out there. As a result, he doesn't know the good companies from the bad. He has contacted Trimac and Jack B Kelley and both of them tell him to call them back once he gets his driver's license transferred to CA.
Can anyone offer up some advice for me to pass along to him? When began talking about the move, my advice was not to do it, for a variety of reasons. He doesn't listen very well because he is traveling out there as I type this.
Looking for a decent Southern California company to drive for. Advice needed
