New Graduate Clean Driving Record Clean Background Good Job in Dallas

Where is your location?

 

If you have a BA I would suggest you get a BS, if you have a BS I would suggest a masters, do something else other than trucking. The industry is dead and will not survive another 5 years.

I’m doing it not because I wanted to but because I had to to keep a roof over my family’s head while my wife finishes her degree. Then I’m out.

If you entered the game 10-20-30 years ago you are fine you already made your contacts.

With brokerage firms MC’s climbing into the 7digits, it shows how much competition there is on moving freight and prices dropping.

I believe I got in on the down swing of the industry’s last breath last year and somehow defied the odd’s (glory goes to god on this one for saving me and finally in the black now after 1 year of racking up close to 120k in debt) not everyone is willing to sacrifice what I have in order to float.

In my opinion do the job while getting your masters on a online university. Get out ASAP.

 

My brain is in neutral.

 

Check with Labatt Food Service. Maybe they use automatics.
I know they have local work and hire new cdl school grads.

 

Bs in computers I’m sorry to hear, I was in the same field in the late 90’s when the tech bubble burst, I went from making 2k a week to $250 because of all the now unemployed Network Administrators out of a job.

I know your pain.

But here’s is the thing. Once you go company it’s going to be pretty hard to keep a family and earn enough to save for a O/O dream. You either start from the beginning or be single to save the money. To do it with a family is going to be super extra hard.


What I’m trying to say is this. You will get a job within a few years you will end up maybe changing companies 2-3 times.

If you have a BS in computers and can’t start your own business and make it succeed doing it in a Truck isn’t going to be better.

When I started I had to go through 50-80 calls a day to get freight, I had to deal with sleazy brokers, everyone goes through it, I needed to have 100k in the bank just to cover costs of bad months, repairs, bills and anything else that came up.

Your best bet is higher education in a different field.

My wife’s going for her CPA license after her graduation and then I’m going for my contractors license after she gets a job.

Trust me do this temporary then get out. Don’t depend on it as a career for the next 20-30 years you will be miserable.

Common decency is out the window with drivers.

You don’t see well mannered driver anymore they are a dying breed.

Everywhere you go some snot nosed kid is looking down at you giving you attitude like you are scum.

Truck stop employees don’t even know if they dispense diesel #2 or biodiesel, almost all O/O care about this.

Majority of the mechanics will rob you for things they didn’t fix. You will learn to fix it yourself. In the end end up being a mechanic.

Just a few of the crap we go through.
