Got laid off today

I work LTL 12 years and it is very very slow where I am at. Many rumors floating around. January is typically slow but this January is much slower than a typical January. It started getting slow in September but really fell off of a cliff around December 3rd.......

 

That's a benefit of pulling reefers; no worry about job hunting. When other freight slows, food doesn't.
Lots of drawbacks, but we do what we have to do.

 

My boss said last night he's reinstating his authority and will be running some reefer freight I believe if you're interested in that. There's more money in sand though and right now you'd never be more than a few hrs from home.

 

They pay more than that at my barn for dockworkers. What a shame

Got any calls back about the job?

Good Luck, You have a CDL. Unlike some you have a lot of choices. OD laying off is bad sign for all of us. Hope it doesn’t affect family finances too bad. Keep looking, I’ve had to take two steps back, in order to keep moving forward many times. For what it’s worth, soon to be an old memory. Keep chin up. Sometimes things end up for the better. Take time to do things you’ve been postponing, as a distraction. Best of Luck finding Work from my family to yours.
