My trucking journey

I did have an option out of Wisconsin apart from Kennesaw. Also, I’m supposed to hear back from another company tomorrow.

I would move out of state if I could, but I have personal reasons that prohibit me from doing so at this time. I have a clean criminal record and last year was just a bad year for me before I got my CDL again.

I do know one thing, and that is it made me realize to never ever get a red vehicle again. That was one of the reason why I traded my vehicle apart from some thing I needed for good fuel economy, and that’s a good vehicle that comfortably seats four people.

I have a sister who has a vehicle that’s on its way out the door if you get my gist. so with that being said, if I find a job, that’s over the road and I can be in Florida at the same time I mean, based out of Florida, she can have my vehicle and give it to her soon to be ex-husband.

 

I would like to recognize a company that wanted to help me out if I could get find a way to get to them or find a way to get into their freight lanes.

J Bauer Transportation out of Wisconsin. I talked to the gentleman who does the recruiting and trains, the trainees locally. From my understanding and my talking with the gentleman, you have to interview with the owner and have a way to get to Wisconsin to do so. The company is in between Minneapolis and Central Wisconsin airport.

I’m mentioning this company, because they were one of the few to at least hear me out and we’re willing to work with me. Hopefully someone can take the information and this post and work for this company because from an outsiders point of view, everybody is pleasant to talk to and were not BSing you like typical recruiters.

 

Applied at Jones Brother transportation, Thompson Transport, and for a local gas hauling position at Eagle. I still need to get my hazmat and Twic.

 

Got turned down by Jones Brother transport.

so today I went in and talked to my bosses and they told me that it’s the slow season for moving companies or at least for the company I work for. The season will not pick up until March as they say. My current employer knows I’m looking for a truck driving job and my question to a couple friends of mine was who is going to hire me until I find said truck driving job?

i’m glad that my bosses were being honest with me. To me honesty goes a long way. In case anybody is tuning into this thread, I work in a warehouse doing the basic stuff. I’m not to criticize my job because it pays my bills: barely.

so, with that being said, I’m not too sure if I’m going to get laid off or if I do get laid off, whether I’m entitled to unemployment.
