    Hello all,

    I'm currently a delivery driver for a company based out of East Rutherford NJ. I drive anything from box trucks, vans, and on good days my bosses car. I know long haul trucking is a tough job. I have experienced the life driving around with my father. He is a good man with six children and has been working as a class A truck driver all his life to keep us afloat. I know I am new to this forum and might not be a familiar face, but I am in a time of great need. To make a long story short my father had a heart attack at a truck stop in PA. He was transported by helicopter to Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh PA which happens to be a hospital that specializes in heart surgery. We were so lucky to have him air lifted and to such a great hospital. I believe it was an act of God. My father is an owner operator and has two trucks and had plans for a third. The truck driver we had working for us basically just walked out on us, and I don't blame him. My mother sits home all day finding loads and making contracts. The moment she found out where her husband was she left. Not telling anyone mainly cause she received the news around 1 am. Since she has not been glued to the computer finding loads the driver walked. I am not intentionally doing this to bore you, but I really need a miracle. My fathers operation for a pump installed in his heart was put off for another day due to his low blood pressure. He is being put on waiting lists for heart transplants. Since my father will never be able to drive again, and the other driver quit we are in desperate need of two class A truck drivers. I am looking for experienced drivers, and good honest men. I don't want to come off as being desperate, but I basically am. I have nothing to lose, except my home, father, and future of my brothers and sisters. Please feel free to contact me in regards to the job openings. If you can refer a drive that is just as good. I thank you in advance and God bless you all.

    JMI,
    I know that it is hard to do much more than take a deep breath when it seems like your whole world is coming apart. It is during this time that God wants you to give it all to Him. Do it without fear! Yes I know that it is easy to say but I have been through the ringer with my health problems and I know that you will come out stronger and with a testimony to share about the miracle that you’ve been blessed with. Put it in His hands and have faith. Things like this happen so you can witness just how wonderful our Heavenly Father is!
    You’re in my prayers!

    I wish your father and your family the best through these hard times.

    Try putting an ad in Craigslists.org. It seems alot of small outfits put driver employment ads there.
