Hiring Freezes FTL

Great, now I gotta clean the coffee off my screen......

 

Yeah, that's what I said last time I was there and got the joy of spending 4 days at the Flying Hook....
I know what you mean about how lean times are though, and the "slow season" is just starting. I went from 3000 miles a week to praying for 15-1800 now....

 

Sorry to hear you're having trouble finding something! I just had a flatbed carrier deadhead out of Texas to Memphis for me just so he could cover some of his loss getting out of TX! I guess that right now, Texas is the new Florida. Stuff goes in and not much comes out.

Good luck finding a job and hey, if ya gotta strip to get paid, then at least you have that to fall back on and don't have to fall onto your back to do it. LOL

 

I don't know if you have heard of the people we work for, Earl L. Henderson out of Salem, IL. Mind you, not the best I have worked for, but the miles are steady, and they will love you if you like to run. They have been doing a lot of Con-Way freight, time sensitive, gotta be there stuff. They let you have pets with a deposit, they have APU's, let you put in an inverter, costs you $25 bucks to install it, and they pay ok. We make $0.45 split, don't know what single drivers make.

They are not huge, like 350+ trucks, and have their issues, but despite all the talk of not enough miles we are plenty busy. They let you take pretty liberal advances, which helps in the beginning.

Good luck on your job search.
