    In the for what its worth category, this old guy that didn't find out he was old until looking for a job finally found a good one with what seems like a good company. Three weeks until unemployment ran out and 8 mths. of sitting on my hands but only started looking (only right) in May. Those of you still looking hang in there and keep trying, it took me 43 applications - written, in person, online, etc. and about 20 calls with my one million miles no tickets/accidents which normally is a prime catch. Do whatever you have to do to stay off the exit ramp with a sign. My next stop was to start delivering pizzas to keep the house, I figured I would get more tips out of feeling sorry for the old SOB. For what its worth just saw that Dayton Freight is hiring full and part-time in St. Louis. I think you apply through Career Builder.
