Retiring Military looking for OTR company

I got off the road for about a year finishing my degree while working safety and training. Mafe a decent salary, home every night, but was miserable.
This is one of those things it gets in your blood it's there.

 

Bud I’m retired Army, my advice is take a look at schneider pulling tanks. This is what I do, I can’t find a good enough reason to ever quit either lol. Last week I worked 7 days, I didn’t make a lot money but I only worked 4 days and got 3 days layover pay. So all 7 days I was in the truck but only worked 4 or 4.5 of them. I watched a lot Netflix and wish I had been running but my gross pay was still 1,491 bucks. It’s not a really fat pay week but I barely worked it seemed. Tell them you want 50 cpm or higher and you will get it also since you retired from military. No matter which path you go I wish you the best brother. Stay safe

 

I also agree with others on taking a look at TMC pulling flatbeds, I’m not sure how great the pay is but I’ve talked to several drivers their and some that had left their and all said they enjoyed the company and one said he wish he never left.

 

I would look at FCC.

 

Who is FCC

 

You'll hate factory work. I didn't adjust well to it at all and the road was calling the whole time. I felt like a friggin' idiot working in a factory.

 

Is that Fremont Carriers?
OK, I found it:

 

Oh dang, OP I just realized you said in your thread here that you don’t want to pull tanks so you can grow a beard. I also wanted the same after retiring but I have to keep it pretty clean cause of the tanker work. That beard will be sweet but it’s gonna cost you couple hundred a week maybe. You will make most pulling tanks, flatbeds them dry van.. go pull flatbed, you should make more than dry van as new driver and enjoy the beard. Wear boots and pants also at customer not pajama pants and flip flops

 

On factory work. Much of the reason I had one was for the physical work. 12 hour shifts. 15 days on/off a month. Great schedule. Stupid little job, packing bags into boxes, putting on pallets. My own little space I couldn't leave. Just do my job. I really liked it alot. Mostly for the health reasons. Only one problem. They couldn't leave me alone. Just had to F! with me.
I'll take the loss in health. Drive and be left alone. Just have to do what I can on health is all.
To be honest, I've learned a bunch. Real key is what you take into your body. Makes a huge difference that can't be cured with exercise. Exercise is real important though. Get some.

 

That's right... I don't want to go and work at any big factory,,too many cheif's and not enough indian's is the old saying... I am looking for a way to make money from home, in which I know I could with my metal talent but need money to buy some supplies first. I am giving myself until the end of NOV to get this done. If I can't than I am going back to a former Intermodal company, which I really don't want to. I will be gone 5/6 days a week and that is what I don't want....
