    With your wife's health problems; how much longer do you think she can work?
    You have a conundrum and it's complicated. Try to look long term for the best solution.

    Sir,

    Check out Republic Services. The solid waste industry is good. Full time, Full benefits, No layoffs. Its been very good to me and my family. I assure you i am not a recruiter. I just read alot of stories of guys like you on here that need a good paying solid gig. No one ever thinks about the trash truck.

    her health issues are controlled with medication...... medication that is very expensive without good insurance, un-affordable. med prices are much worse under the un-affordable, affordable care nonsense. thanks obama...... you have a great legacy.

    Since you may primarily be working nights that will help save on daycare costs, it did for my scenario. Sure their will be day runs mixed in at times as well but with a good family support system its do’able.

    Id call down to the union hall and say hey, can you help explain the process of benefits and if your eligible during casual xyz period. Some people stretch the truth to hook you in.

    Id like to think NY terminals see way more volume than a fly by area where I'm at.

    ill be here for as long as i can be. Burned a relationship this week as a souvenir due to the process over the last year. Amazes me how one dimensional some people are. Helped her through the 5 month job loss cdl training and when money slows down shes quick to argue because we don't get date nights often and xyz issue comes back up. But whatever.

    You could possibly work UPS and your wife keep working until you get full time at UPS and then she quits.

    Plenty more out there will love to meet you; just a matter of patience on your part.
    My buddy is coming to visit us tonight and he married a hottie 26 yrs. his junior.
    Plenty out there just waiting.
    Another friend of mine is flying in Saturday to McCarran International Airport here in Las Vegas to spend a few days with us. He's 57 and divorced last month and already has 3 really good looking women trying to snag him. The youngest one is 30 and the oldest one is 45.
    Plenty out there for you, my friend.
