SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO......the search continues. Hope everyone is having a safe weekend! Mountaineer

Looks like I may have found a new home!!! Homerun Inc. a flatbed company in Xenia OH. I will give an update on the job soon, but it looks like a good fit for me, at least to start, with the small amount of experience I have. :wink:

Mountaineer Like someone said, you hadn't been there long enough for it to count as anything. In TRUCKING, the job you had at ODFL (for a newbie) WAS a "dream job," and you might should have kept it! From what you posted, it sounds like your departure from trucking was for something in the aviation field, I mean IN THE AIR. I can't argue with you that this might have sounded better! I would LOVE to spend my time in the AIR! But, you might need to make a choice. Trucking companies are not real "forgiving" of short duty. Once your "in" trucking, you need to stay the course, and pay your dues. You won't often get a second chance at a GOOD trucking job! But, we ALL make mistakes! I hope yours won't hamper you too much. Tell us more about your NEW gig! And say hello to my exwife (your sister!) Oh that's right, she was YOUR wife too at one time, right? :shock: :lol: How's my stepchildren doing? Bubba got his GED yet?? :wink: You're a "goodun" Mountaineer! I wish you the best!

Hobo how the heck are you? Bubba says hey! him and his momma are togather now working on a family :lol: he did pass 6th grade this year
Just a short recap, retired from the firehouse as a fireman/medic, went to driving school started trucking at ODFL, got a chance to fly on a helicopter at a local hospital as a medic.......(something I tried to do the whole time I was working at the firehouse) now they are adding long distance ground transport to our duties so now I'm done, it was a good gig while it lasted. HomeRun Inc. looks like a good deal for me I will keep you posted. I filled out the app, Talked with the owner, he said if everthing checks out I can start as soon as I can. Hobo I will tell Bubba and Delbert you said hey! :lol: |
