Where should we go?

I know that the Bowling Green, KY area has got some driving jobs. My dad's cousin works construction down there as an equipment operator. Dad just called him within the last week or so checking on Teamster work in the area for me and he said there's all kinds of work available both in the construction and freight area. I'd think there'd be plenty of non-union work as well.

 

Now Greyhound's gonna sell a lot of tickets to Bowling Green . You people have to realize there's a lot of jobless , desperate people reading these forums . Name a company or area with jobs and get ready for the stampede .

 

I am working in Michigan, but I am sure you won't find a stampede to Michigan....

 

my brother-in-law got laid off after only being at a place a short while after he had already lost his own business that put two kids thru college.

anyways a new job opened up here in town, his brother-in-law is tight with the guy that does the hiring... tells him its a shoe in...

bro-n-law heads over the next morning after the job is posted... hey I know so and so can you help me out...???

was told... well... we're glad you know so and so... but we've got 600 applications in this morning so you'll have to fill out an app and we'll get to you when and if we can.

sad for the bro... really sad most of these apps were from all over heck and back 60-70 miles away... willing to move... just please hire me..

 

Hope you like loading at logan...

 

Nothing odd about it at all . See im6under's post following your's . You missed the point . While there may be 50 jobs in Bowling Green , if the companies' names were mentioned they'd have 10 times as many applicants than jobs . Wasted trip for 90% of the people . Just like all the people going to trucking school to get their CDL . There is already an oversupply of drivers and growing numbers of them have no chance of being hired . The more graduates schools turn out the greater the odds are the graduates won't be hired .
Ever think people bought their computers long before there was any indication they would lose their jobs ?

 

We have all kinds of jobs in my area. If you're willing to take them.

Nothing here is union scale. The average non-trucking job pays about $12 an hour. Local trucking jobs do good to pay $10.

But the cost of living, is minuscule beside a large city.

I guess it all depends on what you want, and what your expectations are when you get there.

A 2 earner family, bringing home $2k a month, lives very well where I am. If they're financially mature.
