Jobs Available

I'd love to work with a smaller company. And if I find one that looks like a good fit I'll jump!
Living in rural NE Indiana, and needing good, affordable health insurance kinda limits my options it seems.
I've had a couple of offers from O/O's wanting to put another truck on the road, but, without health insurance I couldn't afford it.
It's a tough situation. We are not willing to move to an urban area for any price. Neither my wife nor I are disposed to being comfortable or feeling safe in any city.

 

Speaking just for me, Hiring area. Im in Virginia Beach, so the choices are limited. Bigger Companies have a wider hiring area.

 

It seems the smaller companies are tight knit.. drivers never quit..and most of the time you have to know someone there to get a foot in the door.. I lucked out.. got on with a small company..
I think it is great when small places are willing to hire outside drivers..Small companies are the best place to be.. you are treated as a person and not a number.. sucks when ya call in and have to say..yea this is driver 457818 truck 55329 ..

 

Hum, my only problem is going too work for you is the reg and logs ill need a update on both , 4 years out of truck, but like a horse riding you never forgot most thing's, next is pay , i found out the hard way he would hold my pay back till he got payed , not good when you got too pay rent, i dont need home time, i just need too run by the apt too pay rent storage en stuff like that two days at most.

 

I just looked at companies in my area I could reasonably drive to. I was in North MN then so the selection was limited. But my experience there was very good. GOod money and excellent equipment, flexibility etc. You know everyone.

 

There are a lot of reasons why drivers tend to gravitate to large companies. Some offer better benefits versus the smaller ones, better l/p plans, or accounts that smaller carriers have to bid lower for. I know several that are happy teaming at US Xpress and a couple that are happy doing the l/p plan there. It all boils down too what each individual wants out of a company.

that and also a lot of bigger companies will hire guys with no experience at all which makes it easier to get in to business
