A small observation about hiring signs

I came across one ad that said “taking applications for future job opportunities that may arise”

I think some companies that have ads up are either being super selective or are hiring within but have to post the ad anyways. One example would be coke right by house. They were posting for transport drivers but move their delivery drivers over to do that.

Why are so many truck drivers eager for a fight

“Hundreds” seems like a stretch. In my five years of driving I’ve had one instance where a driver got on the cb and invited me to “pull over” And that was because he felt I cut him off.

I don’t have time or patience to engage with such behavior. I have a wife and kids to provide for and I also like my job. It’s not worth it. Ignore it. Sending out invitations is to fight is not a smart thing to do at all. Like Brett said you never know who just how unstable someone might be.

I've invited radio Rambo to pull over hundreds of times, no one has ever once took me up on the invitation.

I'm officially on Furlough

I actually just started a new job hauling produce to grocery stores. Most of the time city driving in Chicago. It’s misery but it will keep me busy until freight levels get back up and I can try again to get into linehaul.

Can’t find a job after being terminated from Schneider

No that is not your only option. I disagree with Bruce on that. This is no doubt a serious offense. But not a career killer. Just apply, apply, apply. Use the link G-town provided. Unless there is more the story. You will be able to get back in a tractor trailer.

So driving a straight truck or dump trucks is the only option of finding a cdl job,and does this count as cdl experience.

Big changes coming to Trucking Truth tomorrow!

Here’s something I was thinking about. I was reading through a post the other day which was about 8 pages deep. A member quoted a line from a comment and responded to it. I tried to go back to see where that particular quote came from but just couldn’t find it. It was one sentence from a lengthy comment. Is it possible to have like a find on page feature or find in the post feature? Assuming what I’m saying is even making sense.

Severe tooth pain

I once heard if you have to get a root canal you might as well get the tooth pulled since that will be the end result eventually anyways. Any truth to that?

Severe tooth pain

Dental associates in Alsip were the ones that I was able to get into. I know that’s kinda far from you but I think there are several Dental associates offices in the area.

Severe tooth pain

Last year I kept putting off a cavity that I needed filled. Until one day while driving I put in piece of gum and chewed directly on it, and got introduced to nerve pain like I’ve never experienced before. Luckily I wasn’t far from the yard, and a local dentist took me in the same day. But that was absolutely brutal. No way I would have been able to drive the next day had the dentist not taken care of it. That particular day is why I always care of a small bottle of tylenol in my bag.
