Have you ever been unemployed ?

Never a day unemployed...... Only 3 jobs in my career. One a dump for a friends dad for only a few months. Then on to OTR with west coast operation for a couple of years , then the next 33 years with GSF , til retirement in 2011.

 

Don't forget south Florida.

 

I started working when I was 13 in the summers and have not been without a job since. There are jobs out there, trucking or another industry, if you are willing to work. Anyone who says they can't find a job either isn't looking at all, isn't looking hard enough or they are unwilling to take a job flipping burgers at McDonald's to support their family if need be. If you are a driver, you can EASILY get a job as long as your MVR is clean and you have a clean background. Heck, even with a bad background, you can get a job if enough time has passed.

 

If I recall correctly, there are trucking companies that do require their applicants and current employees to have a high school diploma or a general equivalency diploma, (GED).

 

Some do most don't. He has a point.
