<p>[QUOTE=&quot;x1Heavy, post: 9908646, member: 178676&quot;]I completely understand. Keep in mind that if you have hardship particularly with children involved who are about not to have anything to eat or drink or able to stay warm in a home thats been cut off DHS and Unemployment can do something about that relatively quickly for their sake.</p><p><br /></p><p>In situations like that when keeping a apartnemnt became a impossible situation I closed out everything and moved back to my folks place. In exchange for a small income working dishes at a fast food joint building savings every night. Took me a few months but two thousand in cash off 4.25 wage per hour did not take too long. Just alot of walking back and forth conserving insurance, gas and vehicle related costs that year for me was a dark one. But we got through it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Where I am reading this from you I think you better get something going that has something besides trucking for income. If there is say a auction house near you, you can rake in 50 or more dollars daily shuffling vehciles including heavy trucks and RVs etc if you have a CDL that big. Thats what I did here in Arkansas that turned into a years long stretch working out of there. The reason I had to stop was I was blind in 2009 and surgery took care of that. And am happy they did. Because&nbsp; as I stated before end of life scenarios were being carefully considered as the medical and physical issues of being blind set in pretty seriously. Chop up your hands trying to fix toast and next you see is a caregiving nursing office at 18.60 a hour charged to you so you do not chop yourself up anymore.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are resources. But at this point in time if you ended up in a subshop making sandwitches at minimum wage, you will be paid relatively fast. Then build savings against a reentry into trucking. Be sure not to allow your Medical DOT to lapse or expire, get a replacement card or ... swear out a tier two until you can replace with a valid dot medical.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also as of 6th this month your name needs to be in a drug database. No trucking company in America is legally allowed to touch you as a driver unless your name is part of this database. Which also means you never refused a drug test, had a hot drug result and so on.</p><p><br /></p><p>In addition, if you hold Hazmat you are going to be issued new requirements to further subdivide and hold a warrant for particular KINDS of hazmat. For example. Carboys, about 2000 pounds of liquid in a van trailer, thats over the 1001 pound limit and you become a tanker for that purpsoe so you need that endorsement as well as the specific permit to haul that kind of liquid hazmat in the future, where in the past no one cared that your dry van contained say 20000 pounds of sloshing liquid acid of something.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many changes are coming in. And some I don&#039;t view as good changes. Just a orgy of overregulating things that were not really a problem in the past.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another idea is to find a food cold storage place lining up with docks and lumpers for cash money. Lump several trailers on your own, split the proceeds with the dock boss for his time overseeing you. Go home with hundreds cash.</p><p><br /></p><p>You cannot expect to do this long term, you are literally robbing yourself when it&#039;s time for SS to pull your lifetime earnings and see that you did not make anything reportable to them. Even if you were detected as having made a income as cash, they will prosecute you for failing to pay taxes on that unreported income. You don&#039;t want that trouble.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
