I Need Work Right Now!

[billyp1]

I'm desparate! I'll come to you within 500 miles of home in Michigan at my own expense. I'm looking for a team job, I have minor disabilities, I might need a little help with kingpin & tandem release handles, that's all. I can drive, climb in and out of tractor and trailer unassisted(no cabovers please) I just need a little more practice shifting, my former trainer first taught me to "hot swap" at 70mph so he could sleep, didn't care if I knew anything else. I don't smoke, like most types of music, have good sense of humor. I know I can be more an asset than a burden, I just need a chance to prove it.

WE DO NOT HAVE THE TIME FOR THAT SORRY

theres a puller you can buy that eliminates you having to bend over and pull on the kingpin lock at the same time...Youll still have to bend down to hook the tool to the handle, but you can pull standing up staight. Great too to prevent back injury for all.
Apart from that, I dont understand why youd have a hard time finding a teaming job..... :?:

[ken_o]

did you train at usx

[clawHAMMER]

I know of a number of companies in Mich that pull reefers running team out west and back. Any experience pulling a reefer unit? Another company I know just south of Lansing runs teams hauling air freight, out 2 weeks (or more), in for a week. But they want you to drive down to Charlotte,NC for 2 day orientation which they reimburse you all your costs including gas money down and back. If interested, PM me and I'll get you the ph #. Theres also any number of online sites advertising for team drivers. Just call and ask and it could save you a 500 mile drive.

This may or may not be a good option for you, but their are plenty of expediter O/Os and fleet owners looking for team drivers. They run everything from 1 ton cargo vans (usually solo) to 22'-24' straight trucks to tractor trailers.

If it's something you may be interested in Google expediters and you should find some sites with more info and some job leads.

What is your disability that prevents you from pulling a pin?

At the end of your shift another driver gets it the truck and drives his shift, the seat does not have time to cool down from your body heat.
