local NC work?

Do you have a Pro Drivers office in your area? They are a temp company for drivers. The pay is hourly, usually $10-$13 per hour and you're home every day, driving for dozens of different local companies. Sometimes, you might go for a few days without work, though. But, if you accept everything they offer you, they can keep you busy.

 

I wouldn't worry about getting used to driving for one company for a few weeks. With the economy the way it is, temp agancies are lucky to put you behind the wheel for 20 hours a week.

 

Cheif, have you consisered hauling grain? This is the busy season and alot of grain moving now. You could check with local companys or farmers. I farm but this time of the year I drive just about every day. Just a thought

 

Chief,

My husband is an otr and we are looking for a local job for him in upstate SC or NC. We have no life with him gone for two weeks and home for two days. We are right there with you! I hope we both find what we are looking for! Keep us posted!

 

Are these guys really that bad?
They are looking for drivers in Wilmington, NC pulling containers.
$13/hr local or .35/mile otr day trips to Eden,Nc and back.
They said you would make 800-$1000/week, home every night and some saturdays.
The benefits were not bad but I did not get a good feeling after talking to them. They didn't want to offer any info-it was like pulling teeth.

 

Yeah I think I will pass.
I read something that came up on a search online about them.
It was about a workman's comp case where a drop and hook driver was forced to fill in for a flatbed run, the guy was older and not in that great of shape.
He had to climb up and tarp/secure the load, he went home having chest pains and eventually died from a heart attack.
I have a TWIC card for getting into the ports and it's worth more than $13/hr.
