little help please

Falcon Transport has a training center in gary, IN. They are a flatbed company. I think you get paid on percentage. You would get home often.

 

Really, this does make a lot of sense. It seems like the railroads are just about the last (at least in the transportation industry) to be hit in a recession. They are also usually the first to recover.

These route driver jobs can be a very good gig. Of course there is a lot of physical work involved. But it pays reasonably well, and might get you through until the railroad blows its whistle for you.

Good luck!

 

The training wouldn't be in Chicago I think it would be in Marshfield, WI, but they have a terminal in Gary. They also offer a salary program for veterans. Might be something to get you through til the RR calls.

 

Another thought, I don't know if you are near a coca cola plant or not, because the one near my home in south Georgia is always needing cdl A drivers. Even now they don't have enough drivers and I think they are starting them at 50k..............

 

If you look up I already suggested that,..OK not coca cola directly,..but close enough.......

And in my opinion,...the local stuff is the easiest way to obtain a cdl,...Sure your gonna have to be a drivers helper while training,...but even that can pay pretty well.........

 

You might want to look into that,........
