One thing I feel that needs mentioning.....if you go to work for a union company just be prepared for the backlash if you ever leave that company. Once employers see anything that screams UNION they tend to shy away from anyone that has ever worked for a union.

Just something to think about.

I appreciate this (and the list above). He is not too many years from pulling down his pension and retiring, so if he goes with a job, it'd be for 2-4 years that pays really well before retiring for good, so it might not be a concern. That's why I'm trying to maximize his pay.

This is great information, thank you!

Outside of Walmart and the Teamster companies, are there any other well-recommended private company jobs?

Thanks again, I really, really appreciate it.

Hey guys,

My dad might be facing his (rather large, rather well known) fleet transitioning over to outsourcing their loads from their private fleet to third party carriers. He is out on a load right now, but called me distressed that there are security folks all over his dispatch facility not allowing folks in. That being said, they didn't stop him from his run, but I'm trying to insulate him from getting screwed over by being told to get gone. He is located in North Texas.

He drives for an OTR private fleet, runs typically are 1-3 days and he bids for his jobs based on seniority. Texas CDL, 20+ years driving, exemplary accident/service record.

What are some of the better jobs out there? I hear Walmart (from what I've read) and know there are some oil/gas jobs that pay very well, but does anyone else have any suggestions?

I'm just worried about him and want him to get things setup elsewhere if need be.
