For the last twelve months, I've had my nose to the books for studying, building very complex home labs, and testing out of various certifications to be able to have a better foundation when interviewing. If I had to tally up the hours I've spent studying, mock interviewing, tinkering with the homelab etc, I've likely spent the equivalent of a bachelor's degree worth of studying without the elective BS into making myself a better candidate during interviews.Last edited: Jul 30, 2023
Mike2633, dwells40, Flat Earth Trucker and 3 others Thank this. -
XPO has been picking up since a few months ago when the brilliant business gurus decided to put a hiring freeze on several facilities in lieu of the news that FXF was downsizing its network. Needless to say the freight volume picked up and XPO, who some would argue was already shorthanded at many locations got slammed with freight.
Now they are still behind in the hiring process, and with the YRC closures, they are telling our city drivers to use "discretion" when picking up freight from new customers. They say they don't want to bite off more than they can chew, but hey, this is trucking. I expect it to get to the point where they are completely backlogged at many of the major hubs, then they will put embargoes in place to catch up. It's all job security for me, though. I guess I should be grateful...Mike2633, Gearjammin' Penguin and hotrod1653 Thank this. -

Or like they did during the strike a few years back, call in 1 pallet and when the truck gets there, load him up with 10.
snowlauncher Thanks this.
