    Do a Google top 10 trucking companies in Maine.

    Good.
    And stay out. Don't need your jacked-up, Paul Bunyan, dimentia-fueled, black-dog hallucination tales crossing the New Hampshire border.

    We've probably met.... I do the same job, but in a Black truck.

    Crete & Shaffer are both running ads in Arizona for drivers. You can change your domicile to Arizona and not change companies if you want.
    Shamrock Foods and Arizona Milk Transport hire in Phoenix. Both are milk tanker jobs.
    Shamrock Foods > Apply On Company Site
    Arizona Milk Transport > Apply On Company Site

    Have you even looked at craigslist? I just took 2 minutes of my life to skim through the first page of “class a” under all jobs. There’s literally 4 jobs in the first half of the first page in southern Maine, home everyday that pay 20-27.50/hr plus OT after 40. I literally don’t understand what the dilemma is. If you want to move, then move. But saying there’s no work as a driver is a little misleading.

    If finding work is your mission, then get your hazmat and treat looking for a job like a part time job itself.

    Well that' not really nothing. Have you tried any of them?
    Central Maine transport is the freight side. They are also north american van lines. A young guy can do VERY well if he doesnt mind sctually working. Although id reccomend allen & coles if you went that route.

    I didn' explore into them but after a quick search "tricking jobs in maine" found jobs on
    Glass door
    Indeed
    Simply hired
    Monster
    Class a driver
    Craigslist
    Zip recriter
    No shortage of others, but if your really just looking to move. Then thats understandable also.

    Texas sucks. Its a swamp on one side and a desert on the other. There's no work here. The crime is sky high and people are horrible. Traffic sucks. You should check out California, yea I hear that place is awesome.


    Oh and anyone that says Tucson and Phx are "growing" never lived there in the 90's and early-mid 2000's. Went from great cities to overcrowded not fun to live in.
