Any ideas?

Are you still with Werner or Schugel ?

 

Rogerthat72, The problem with little or no experience mostly comes down to insurance regulations. Most really good Co. must have 2 to 3yrs. exp. because their insurance Co. demands it. Large carriers are mostly what I refer to as a "driver mill". I heard and I do not know if it is true, but supposedly these large Co. get government grant money in exchange for accepting people into their training programs; furthermore, they get the payment even if the person does not make it all of the way thru training. A large Co. could literally pocket millions of dollars yearly just by making a few phone calls and filing some paperwork. Have you looked into Gypsum Express, they have a terminal in Baldwinsville NY. This is mostly flat-bed work and for the most part they are a good Co. They have the same problems that you will find with any trucking Co. but they will try to treat you with respect, if you are interested I could use a referral for you.

 

you should have stuck it out for one more month

not sure how flexible companies are that ask for 6 mos, but those seem to be fairly common . Maybe you can include the time for your CDL training, if you went that route.

you already check food svc and beverage? They sometimes only need 6 mo. Hard work, but you did say "anything". Also, a friend of mine in NYC got hired as a fuel hauler at 6 mos, decent pay (26/hr, plus 30+OT/wk). He just asked around when he saw local guys. I know you're not in NYC, but prolly same BS lol

Also, see if your states unemp office has a job site,, ours pulls ads from the big job websites (monster, etc) and you search all from one site. That's how I found my current job.
