Wanted: a good job

Mega carriers go away.

I want a job driving trucks. I have let my hazmat slide but can retest for it. I would like an employer in the state of Maine yet that is negotiable. I would love to find some one that has a Freightliner pre 07 that I could work off. I plan to be an owner operator some day.

The loads I have delivered were on time. I only had one load that was not. I live 5 hours from the shipper and I worked on forced dispatch. The load had a delivery of 7 hours. To get the truck loaded took two hours. It just was not possible for me to deliver that load on time, yet it was delivered.

To be honest I only have 4 months on paper and nothing to prove other than my logs that I even worked for Western Express (that would have made it 5+ months).

I am 52 year of age. I treat everyone with respect when I meet them. You have to treat me poorly to lose that respect. Yet if your willing to work me as an equal, I will give you all that I can for honest work. I learned to drive in 2007 (CDL) as I saw it as a way to better myself. Yes I feel I have learned alot from it. The companies in this area dont seem interested in some one over 52 to drive for them. I have a clean history.

I will team drive, but I wont be your slave and drive the hours you dont care for. If you want me to drive nights, thats fine, but you have to drive some of the night as well. I would prefer solo but I understand otherwise.

I understand that the wheels not turning makes you not earning. Yet I do have some customers from my own work. So it really boils down to how well it works out. If I feel we are on the same page, then I will tough it out and say goodbye to my slow life. Yet I hope that after 2 weeks on the road you will understand if I want to have 5 days off. I dont want to be married to the road. Yet I do want to work. My offer is sincere.

Thankyou for your time.

 

A local logging company has expressed an interest in hiring me. I sure hope it works out. Granted I prefer Freightshakers, yet work is work. They have pornstars and Kenworths.

I thank everyone for your considerations on posting here. Good stuff.

 

Now if only you had a Freight shaker I could work off. GRIN
