I'm jobless after 20 years, yeah.

I left my job-no sugar coating--> in a nutshell my ex boss is an *******.

I have 20 years on my old job as a straight truck driver (22') truck, I was also the warehouse manager. I started at age 18 as a jobber in the warehouse, moved up to counter top fabricator (laminate counter tops) then moved to warehouse boss/truck driver/sales or whatever needed to be done by someone qualified.

My driving duties required anywhere from 5 to 35 stops a day ranging from 100 to 400+ miles a day. Most of my load was hand loaded by yours truly which was helped by a forklift driven by myself, but most of it was hands on.

The areas I covered were-Charleston, SC and the surrounding area, Savannah and the surrounding area, Statesboro, GA and the surrounding area, Myrtle Beach and the surrounding area including NC. Driving in the city was no issue.

I don't have a CDL the truck was under 26k and my medical card expired 2 days ago.

My goal is to land a job driving a straight truck long distance, no owner operator.

What's out there for me?


thx



I forgot to mention my driving record is perfect.

First, renew your med card; you'd be illegal without it. As for whom to work for, I'll let wiser people post, as I am just a vanner. Don't go the van route, tho; there are too many of us as it is.

RF: if you are set on driving OTR, you may as well begin planning to get a CDL, because it will be required. Unless you want to drive an under 26K truck, and the ones that go OTR are generally run by sketchy outfits.
