Live east of i-95 in north carolina

[nctrucker1]

I have 4 years local driving experience pulling 53' van. Due to the company going downhill and getting worse, I have been looking elsewhere, but with a bad economy, jobs are not plentiful. There is nothing local that pays enough to live on. I have looked at otr, regional preferred, but when the recruiters see that I live east of I-95, they shut the door ion my face, and some give me an attitude, like I wasted their time. Does anyone know of a company that will give me a chance? A couple of companies would have hired me, but had no openings in north carolina. I have never seen driving jobs so scarce before.:(

you pull this stunt year in and year out... Just like i told you last year there's Barnes Trucking RIGHT ALONG I-95 in Wilson, NC

Epes Transport HIRES All over North Carolina Based out of Greensboro, NC they constantly stay hiring

Tidewater Transit in Kenly, NC EAST OF I-95

Hell I know Schneider was looking for someone to Pull Cans out of Wilmington home every weekend

There's G & D Container Outfit that sits on I-95 in Dunn, NC...

That's 5 Companies all along I-95 and east!!! If anyone else got any ideas help this guy..

You also have Givens Trans out of Va Beach and if Flatbed isn't a problem, Mitchell Trans is out of Emporia, VA. Have no idea if either is hiring but if they are, your in their operating area.

As far as I know givens isn't hireing right now. I know the senior driver for that company and he said they actualy laid off, frieght is slow. Now if your driving record is good, there is heartland express. I know they hire out of the area. If you asked this question b4 why you doing it again.

[nctrucker1]

I called Schneider just a week ago, and recruiter told me that they did not even have an otr position open in north carolina. As for you claiming i pull this stunt year in and year out, i only joined a year ago. current job was ok til economy went south. I am hit by the carriers famous lines: No 1 year recent otr experience or live east of 95.

[geeshock]

ah, also, do you live close to plymouth? it's kinda local but salem leaseing seems to be hireing if you have a twic card. Most places you check with will require 1 year OTR exp recent. There are exceptions, USA was willing to take me dispite being out since november till just a few weeks ago but not to many places will do that. Only thing that saved my but in that deal was I drove contiuous from march 06 till nov 08

http://www.classadrivers.com/forum/truck-driving-jobs-what-about-trucking-company/36397-anyone-east-i-95-n-c.html

and Schneider doesn't even't hire OTR drivers from North Carolina??? don't believe that!! That have a freakin Terminal in Charlotte and have been advertising for Bulk Drivers for the longest..

also C & C trucking in Duncan, SC says they HIRE ALL ALONG I-95...

Abliene Motor Express out of Richmond, VA here's straight from there website

"As a transportation company with a growing fleet, we are always seeking applications from talented and experienced drivers. If you are 25 or older, and have at least two years of verifiable driving experience, then we encourage you to apply today. We need local and regional singles, and coast-to-coast singles and teams — particularly drivers who live within 25 miles of an exit along the I‑85 (VA to GA), I‑95 (VA to northern FL) and I‑40 (NC to OK) corridors. We also are seeking owner/operators with late model tractors"

Cowan Systems have a terminal in Wilson, NC i forgot about that one dude come on..

Mcelory.. A flatbed outfit out of Alabama who has a yard in South Carolina check them out!!

Dude sorry to come off like an ass but there's jobs man.. i just gave you a damn good list..

[freebirdrfd]

Epes not hiring
G&D not hiring, many trucks sitting.
Schneider might hire for cans out of Wilimington. One hand dosn't know what the other is doing. They told me no jobs in NC and I got hired the next week by them.
TSI in Goldsboro runs flats
MSM in Rocky Mount offered me a foodservice job. Money seemed ok but I didnt take it.
Barnes...maybe.
C&C Duncan, SC hires along I85 and I95.
I think TMC has a small yard in eastern NC. Another driver told me that once. Don't know where it is, though.
Tidewater runs many trucks but I'm not sure they will hire you if you have no experience running tanks or bulk.
I ran by an outfit in Wilmington a couple of times this week that had a sign out on the road saying "Now hiring drivers". Not sure what they ran.

[nctrucker1]

The sign you saw in wilmington was for mco. i called them and was told the runs are otr to ohio, new york, and new jersey. yuck on that.

ok, I was wondering what that was about. Hauling what? Seems a long way for containers. Scrap metal from those yards there?
I hear ya on NY/NJ. Thats why I'm doing what I am now. Did New England for too long.

MCO Transport is a tanker company.

Tidewater will train you, if you have 3 years driving experience. They are a decent outfit....and run Volvos.

MCO is good to. I just don't see their trucks a lot.

Where is the whining at mr. fred?? i think he was just giving his opinion

[Fredog]

he says he cant find a job anywhere, and then when he is offered one, he turns it down, maybe it's not whining, but it is if I say so, because I am always right .
I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken

[freebirdrfd]

Whats your problem? I didnt start the thread and didnt take the job because I already had gotten another one. You have me mistaken with the guy that started the thread. I was just responding to him.
So your saying about being wrong is wrong. Your wrong here dumba**

[jonp]

You mean MBM.

I do indeed. I keep calling them MSM for some reason.

I have called Tidewater, and was told I would have to have 2 years tanker experience. As for MCO, they haul a little of everything. But they usually are always hiring. They cannot keep drivers for some reason. I, for one, do not want a run up north in winter time. I am too used to the mild winter south.

You may want to avoid MBM on Meadowbrook Parkway in Rocky Mount. They have lots of food going north!!

If you are interested in "fast food" hauling, MBM on Church street, Rocky Mount is hiring plus, their equipment is much better than Meadowbrook Parkway and MBM Battleboro (suburb of Rocky Mount)!!!

I think thats the one I was talking about. I used to haul coca-cola into there from atlanta and saw their sign so applied. They ran up to about Baltimore I think.

[jonp]

Seems like I went by a huge Maclanes yard near Rocky Mount once or twice or maybe just north of RM on 301

[Doctor Who]

McLanes new facility is on NC highway 4 in Goldrock just before I-95

I knew that I went by it somewhere over there when I got off I95 because of construction last fall and ran 301 into virginia.

[geeshock]

McLanes and trans-am are out of the same yard aren't they?

[jonp]

Forgot about Trans-Am. No, someone told me that they have their own small yard there somewhere.

[jonp]

Ezzell just up the road from you. It took me awhile to remember they were up near Clayton. Ran by Atlantic Seafood on the way from Wilmington to Jacksonville last night. Looks local but its a job. Clayton..have you tried the Smithfield plant there? They have company trucks. Also Food Lion has a DC in Dunn. You have to go in and get an application and fill it out.
