    PI&I Motor Express and Nick Strimbu Inc. are both Teamsters Union jobs.
    Since you're willing to relocate, consider moving to a state with no personal income taxes and warm weather, such as Florida, Texas, Nevada. Plenty of good OTR jobs available in all 3 of those states.

    (Some of those old Texas boys & gals might disagree with me on San Antonio/Austin, but may have some better ideas) @UturnGirl loves Corpus Christi, which is understandable, with the beautiful beaches there.

    If you are only 36, I would highly dought you will find a 'company to retire' from in the transportation industry. Most company's nowaday's do not want 'legacy' employee's. The vacation time, health insurance, sick leave, seniority issues, etc., etc.

    He can work another 30 years and retire at 66 living the good life. He has plenty of time to become involved in some type of retirement plan such as 401K and an additional one through a credit union or USAA Federal Bank and also buy 3 or 4 rental properties, then kick back and live the good life. If he takes care of his health, companies will want him to stay as long as he wants.

    Ty lazer, i get what you mean. I'm just looking for something steady, i dont like drama or be changing job every year. Like i said before, not looking for anything fancy, just fair paid for the job, just don't want to work 6 days straight for 500$

    Been reading about fourplexes. San Antonio all the way up I35 to Dallas is growing like you wouldn't believe. If done right property investment is a great idea. I teamed with an ex oil field guy has a duplex in Dallas. Rooms always have a renter.

    There is a warehouse in Chicago. They don’t wanna do nothing. You can retire there.
