To stay in trucking or not and if so what direction do I go?

Electrical maintenance. Interviews went well. One looks promising. Pay, benefits are excellent. May take it if offered the job. Mon-Fr 7am-3:30pm home every day and no weekends.

If Superior wants to offer me a Pete to stay I might consider staying. I am done with that Mack though.

 

Rob, I am not sure if a Pete will ride any better. I am making an assumption that it will since it is a higher end truck. Mack was making dump trucks when I was a kid. No road tractors that I am aware of. These new Macks ride like a dump truck. So the Pete can't ride any worse for sure.

No, they won't yank the Pete out from a driver just to give to me and I don't expect that. As far as the terminal manager acting like he wants to fix it, I don't think so. I have mentioned it several times before and he just tries to blow it off hoping I will go away. He has been too busy decorating the new terminal we are moving to.

Trucking is just a job. Not a career. Anyone can do it. Just look at all the idiots out here holding a steering wheel. Nothing special about it. We just happen to make a little more money than people at other companies. Not much room for advancement here at Superior without having to possibly move to another state which I am not going to do.

I got offered one of the jobs I interviewed at. Probably going to take it. I guess worse case scenario if it does not work out I could always come back to Superior. I am not leaving on bad terms, at least I don't think so. I have busted my hump for them and not had any accidents or tickets. So I think they would take me back if I needed to come back.
