    Check with the state vocational rehab. They used to train people that were laid off.

    Hes got all the vocational experience why not just stay with vocational work? Propane or fuel delivery? Truss builders, lumber yards, sheet rock delivery. Theyre all CDL jobs and its home daily.

    We live in, well near, a very small town. Those opportunities just aren't available often and when they are they don't pay enough. Not that it's a huge income but we're trying to figure out how to replace a $50k income and it's nigh impossible here. The job he's leaving, which was in facilities maintenance, was a huge blessing. The kind of jobs you're talking about would be $10 or $12 an hour. He can probably get back into fertilizer but it's super hard on a body and doesn't pay that well either.
