Old and In the Way

Then trucking it is. What do you want to know?

 

Well, you can just choose a company then and get started.

 

Millis has trucks set up right, especially if you plan to live in the truck.
The pay is right and get involved in their 401K retirement and you'll be set in a few years.
Join a credit union and set up a second retirement account. You'll make enough money to do all that.

A sleeper would be a lot better than being homeless.

 

I totally get your situation. Trucked for about 8 years, went to mechanic school for 2 and fixed transit buses for 8.

They're trying to get rid of the older guys in transit buses, and I couldn't find another mechanic job. I'm 54, and despite every garage screaming for mechanics, I couldn't get an interview. Started feeling "old and in the way". Finally got back in a truck a few months ago.

Trucking is great for guys/gals that are used to working on their own with minimal direction. You should do fine.

Help Chinatown to help you. You could do worse than Schneider, but you should explore other options, too. Good luck!!

 

Should noot be problem on getting bored. There is always some kinda ######## going on!

 

In regards to hair follicle testing, they are finding out how incredibly inaccurate those are simply because the money that we touch everyday has traces of drugs. If you touch your hair then you have possibly just placed small trace amounts of residue on the hair that they do not simply test the follicle of and making the test compromised. Sad that some places still use that method.
