local NC work?

I was going to suggest fuel truck .... plenty of companies there for it .... but you already tried that .... as for the 8 hour job .... doubt it .... the only thing that I would be able to suggest with that is a small job somewheres that probably pays $8 / hr

 

Have you looked on CraigsList? There was a man in Shelby looking for a truck driver....home nights and weekends....try and see if he is still posted there under transportation....good luck!

 

Got news for ya bud. I have work more 14 hour days working local than otr. And the pay is lousy usually.
But around here there is allot of logging and chip trucks around. Oil field stuff too. pay just isn't all that great

 

my suggestion would be logs/chips or livestock, depending on where you are in nc. i wouldn't bet on finding that 8 hr job though.

 

There are a couple of companies in Winston and Greensboro that you could look into. I know that Salem Carriers is always needing people. They have full and part time positions open. They are not the best company in the world and the pay isn't all that great but I guess it depends on what you are looking for. There is also several temp services in Greensboro. I can't remember the name of them right now but they are easy to find. Both of them are over off of Wendover behind the auto auction. There is also Milan. They are usually looking for part time drivers for line haul runs.

 

I have a buddy that worked as a switcher for them over at one of the old Sara Lee now Hanes plants. He was working 40-50 hours a week set schedule making $12 and hour. They also have day drivers that move product from on plant to another all over NC and VA. Those guys get paid by the mile. I am not sure how much they make. I do know they work 60-70 hours a week. The Atrium drivers are out 5-7 days at a time and you have to tailgate your freight. They usually have have positions open in several different places. The biggest thing my buddy ever complained about was he wasn't making enough. But if you are ok with $12 and hour than I guess they wouldn't be so bad. Good luck in your job search. If you have any other questions just let me know.

 

You sound like me. You need to ind a private fllet. that would be my recomendation.They are more out and back type runs.
