out of school, employed 4 mo, now scared of lay-off

hmm

not sure where in that it says the "no guarantees" comment is what I was considering insulting and rude. maybe "immature & expecting everafter", but you said happy ever after in a perfect world, just using your words, cut down and simplified. the presupposition of 'grow up' was the first sentence of your response. not only did I say what I found in your comment insulting, I explained why I found it insulting and rude. but since you ignored the explanation, it doesn't matter. (to try to explain any further would put a red spot on my forehead and a dent in the wall.) sorry I said anything about it! I will be sure to think twice before posting or asking anything here from now on.

very sorry I tried to explain anything to the responses received. thought if I explained little better...oh it doesn't matter. good night Gracie.

I'm employed for at least the next 30 days. when I got in shop this evening, boss and another employee talking, looks like with the layoffs I wont be slip seating anymore, I'll be assigned a truck.
I joked w/ boss "so I got 30 days or what? last hired you know?" he said "well, your workin next week". then they got off on how since the weather been nice I could "lay out" on the hood of the truck when loading or on stand by, drum up some business, lol. (yeah right, get oil and dirt streaks in my tan, I'm already getting lop-sided look from driver's window, lol. streaks would just be down right weird.). they are good group of guys, just teasing and all.
I've heard of couple local places hiring, don't know if they take newbies/trainees. if can find a ride or transportation, thought I'd try find their offices. know which towns they are in, so should be easy to find phone book. thought might look up some of the other company doors and trailers I see when I'm out in a day. after all, if where I'm working is cutting back, somewhere has to be taking up the slack and might need a driver, right? I already know some of the locations and a few pumpers/company men, might be a plus to get my foot in their door?
if I could find a way back to an interstate, might be possible to get into otr, haven't been out of school that long. tho from my understanding, if I stay local for more than 6 months, I'd probably have to do some kind of 'refresher' to get into an otr company. so will probably look into the one's that offer their own training camps first.
guess I'll find out.
very glad is starting to look like spring, enjoy the sun while you can!

again, thanks to everyone for the input. take care and be safe y'all.
