Anyone else having different results in applying to LTL's or linehauls in different areas?

I almost got on with them, but I flaked out twice and don't really want to waste the guys time again. The flake out was pretty much due to the reasons I mentioned previously. Perhaps if I wasn't employed right now, the jump would've been more willing and followed through. Kind of blows that USF isn't in NM or TX. I also almost got on with the parent, YRC. But that would've been a longer distance, team thing. I'm like the truck job searched version of Runaway Bride!!

 

It's another guy up there now, but he seemed quite cool and reasonable as well. The work environment didn't seem to intimidate me that bad there either. Again, just the area and time off woes.

 

Of course now that a move seems inevitable, I'm now pondering getting a small, live-in trailer to tow behind my pickup truck. Like Tahoetrucker mentioned, he managed to snag a job where he wanted after two months of having to endure the doom-gloom land of the Denver metro. I'm thinking it would be more reasonable to just live inside a camper while putting in time up there just in case the same occurs with myself.
Probably cheaper and less consequential than breaking the lease on one of those corny, McCondos they're building in place of regular apartments in that area.

 

Yep, 83 was the year I was implanted by the Romulans!! Swift, I'm probably still on their blacklist due to getting fired for a rollover there back in '07.

 

I could try it. Hopefully they don't send me another, God awful, canned email saying "position already filled".
The current job used to be alright, but it's just gotten poor around here. I just need to stay at the $50,000+ range until I finally work myself out of this pickup truck scam(long, complicated story) that I got myself into. Tried to trade my '13 pickup for a small car, got financed for the small car without a trade. Couldn't afford or had use for two vehicles and the dealer wouldn't take it back. Only option was to trade both for one vehicle(another truck) and eat up the damage. Lesson learned, pay this thing off and that's it for personal vehicles that aren't bicycles.

Didn't mean to rant on, but that's part of my push to get onto some place with consistent pay and schedule. After that, I'm looking at either getting into paramedic, wind turbine training, or diesel tech. While holding down a "truck light" position like yard dog or something.
