Sorry bro....wish you the best!
I cant believe i got laid off
- Thread starter NIGHTFLIGHT
- Start date
I was gonna say, CDL, Hazmat endorsement, which also means you are clean and drug free. You need to start looking HAZMAT drivers hard to find I'll bet something pops up quickly good luck!
Where you at? Different needs in different parts of the country. In New Orleans CDL/Hazmat getting about $30 an hour due to shortages...

I had a choice 2 weeks ago, Get laid off or take a fork lift driving job. I hate driving the fork lift. But it's money so I took that. I've been trying to find another job in the maintenance field for the last 2 weeks and they are offering me 3 to 4 bucks less then what I am getting paid now.

Sorry to hear about the lay off. This slow economy is affecting many people. The company I've worked for (for 10 years) went out of business at the beginning of April. The only saving grace for me is that I got offered another position at a sister company. Trouble is, it will require me to move 9.5 hours west to Indiana.

BUt would rather have local delivery seems like I miss everything on otr trucking,(racing ,family gatherings ect) Im kind of mad at place laid me off.other guys were milking the clock so they find out+lay me off.2 guys spent most last week working on personal pickup truck on company time.

I kind of like expidite freight.So I dont have stay out weeks @ a time
Don't wait for the old job to call. Seek out a new job in trucking. If they call you back at the old job you can make up your mind then, however it sounds like you should find a better place. Don't trust anyone when they say they will call you back, that is just an easy way out for the person telling you.
I dont know if should seek another job or not.They said would call me back august or sept. latest.I guess this job is 3--4 months off a year now.Had I known it was coming wouldnt be quite as bad.I guess most guys dont get a warning.
I think its wifes turn take me dinner friday 4 a change.
Prob get taco bell.

I can't count how many times I hear from different agencies saying "yea, we've got this great project coming up and you would be a great asset." I never wait around for them to call.
