USPS perfect job went south. Looking for a dedicated out of NC. Any help appreciated

Have you tried putting in applications?

 

It's going to be tough somewhat to find that job you just lost. Start applying to the companies that your interested in and go down the list

 

Any LTL barns in your area? Some will take you on with limited experience and let you work the dock for a while (if you're willing).

ABF
Old Dominion
SAIA
Southeastern Freight Lines
Estes

Also check out some mail contractors, these vary by area. If you ran for the USPS, you're sure to have seen their trucks.

Pat Salmon
Eagle Express Lines
Hoovestol (I believe they own Eagle)

If worse comes to worst, check out foodservice. Big money, but tough work and they generally relax their experience requirements.

US Foods
Reinhart
Sisco
MBM
Sigma
GFS (my personal favorite)

Also check out some local building supply outfits, they typically have a desirable Monday to Friday home everyday schedule, with overtime opportunities.

Good luck to you.

 

Ashley LTL side out of the advance DC. Those guys usually get back to the house a couple nights a week and home weekends. Occasionally might do a full week out.

Above average pay and benefits, nice well maintained equipment. They usually want 2 years but if you've got a clean year in they might look at you.

I'm on the truckload side. Home weekends. For the Greensboro area it's a good job.

 

Sounds like you worked for an OTR Mail Contract Carrier. Usually you can seperate the OTR HCR Carriers from the Local by whether they drive a sleeper or daycab. If you're looking for a non local mail carrier, try looking into companies like Eagle, B&B, MTI, Pat Salmon, MCA, etc., or stop by your local USPS Distribution Center and write down the names of the various Contract Carriers entering into the facility. You could also apply to USPS directly and work as an MVS driver when you reach your 2 year mark, if you're interested in going that route, but make sure you are registered with Selective Service before you apply. It's surprising how many people are not registered, which means you can't get any type of government job, federal assistance, grants, benefits, or loans.

 

Plenty of good linehaul jobs in North Carolina. What city/town are you near?
Estes Express
Saia LTL Freight
Old Dominion

 

Most of these OTR Mail Contract Carriers have various dedicated runs that you can choose from. You can be out weeks at a time, couple days, every other day, and even local. You can google Mail Carriers or go to Indeed.com and also search Mail Carriers.

If you're willing to go to a USPS Distribution Center to see what Carriers are available, you won't find that many OTR Carriers at P&DC Centers. They all pretty much go to NDC Centers, which is the Bulk Mail Center. P&DC Centers are basically all Local HCR Carriers. So if you're willing to go OTR, go to a NDC Center to see what's available. If you're looking to go Local, go to a P&DC Center, or NDC as well.
