Transition Out of Trucking...

I'm with mentor. I don't think they will give me abandonment

 

Oh dang... Yea is tough riding with someone else... From here to Syracuse is a pretty penny with a rental. I'd just wait to get back to the terminal

 

Egad,your probably right. September 14th.
Only problem is I'm getting fat & I'm in Army Reserves.

 

Or a merchant semen dashing wishes.....

 

Why did you leave the oilfield? Im currently working in the patch and have no desire to go otr, money just isnt in otr anymore. Whenever i decide to get out of the patch im going back to slinging cases of food or LTL. Id hate life if i was otr also. I've been away from home almost a month now by choice but i get to go back to my hotel room after my shift is over. If i could make 275-400 a day otr i might consider it.....

 

I got laid off. I was in San Angelo/Big lake area and it was dead in the beginning of 2015... So I went back home and decided to hit the road to get more suitable experience. I'm coming up on my 2 years otr plus becoming 25 now I have the world on my hands when it comes to trucking jobs (clean record). I'm thinking of trying something else other than trucking. For the most part I can always come back to it later, but trying another work avenue, as I get older becomes more slim.... Plus I've packed a few so I want to be home to have some sort of accountability partner so I can get back on track.

 

Its picking back up again but yea i see your point. Im only 23 myself I've considered other avenue's myself but just not sure what else will pay me 1600+ a week without a college education, plus i grew up around trucks so its kinda in my blood

 

Nice, I've heard it's picking up. Where are you working out of? It takes me 2 weeks to make that #.. OTR is so sad man... What a rip off lol

 

Im working in south east ohio-wv Marcellus energy services is the company. We run cement for Schlumberger pre loading their cement for when they go out and pump a job. We've been running 80-90hr weeks the last 6 months

 

Nice! Hope it stays good for you guys. Make that money while you can. Hehe
