Is anybody hiring? This is insane!
I'm trying to get a local job, but it seems like Trucker Job type websites leave people out to hang when it comes to this type of employment. Staffing agencies haven't helped, and I never see much in the classifieds.
I can't get a local with Werner or schnieder, I don't live in the right area for that. I'll give you a list of the big companies I've applied for, to no avail, and spare you the smaller companies:
J.B. Hunt
Pepsi
Coke
FedEx
UPS
Yellow/USF/Roadway
Valley Cartage
ConWay
Taystee
Wonderbread
OldDutch
I'm sure I'm leaving a lot of companies out but I'm trying to make the point I've applied for a lot of companies.
I'm 23, 1 and half years OTR experience half of that as a trainer, no moving violations, no accidents, nothing. A perfect record. Yet I haven't heard back from any of these companies. Not even so much as a "Thanks but we're not hiring."
Am I screwed if I want a local job? I really didn't think it would be this hard considering my age, experience and record.
If anyone can give me advice on how to find a local job, PLEASE HELP!!
