I thought you were going to work for Shaffer several months ago? What happened there.. or do I have you confused with another.. looneygirl? xxxxxxgirl person?

have you tried Dillon? Purdy?

yeah, that was me. I was there for three months. horrble miles every week. I was N.E. Regional. I went to Celadon, and loved it. I had total knee replacement in December and was out till now. They will rehire me but changed a few policies while I was out. Anyway I start back on the 6th, Just seeing what options are available and to be honest, I was trying to find a carrier that I could keep my pug. He has been with me since he was 10 wks old, has one eye, and a few minor health problems.So I am not really up the creek, Just feel very loyal to a loyal pet. But the bottom line is, I can't pay my bills with a dog, gotta work. Talk to ya'll later.

Don't want to sound mean or uncaring, but I think it's time to get rid of the dog. You can't turn down a very needed job offer just because of a pet. Unless his dog house is big enough for you to move into also.

Yes you are right. Like I said I can't pay the rent with the dog, Gotta work. I start on 6th. Gonna take the dog to my family. I know he will have a good home and at least I can see him once and awhile.It still doesn't make it any easier though, but thats life. I am sure I am not the only one out there making sad choices, but thank God I do have a job offer! It could be alot worse. Drive safe.:surrender:

there are plenty of smaller companies that still allow pets--

more so now that the diesel prices are coming back down somewhat--

you just got to ASK and make more phone calls around

Q1: Do you allow Pets?

Q2: Do you hire out of Carolina?

No? Thank you... have a nice day ( hang up )

C&C out of Duncan, SC hires along the I85 and I95 roads. I feel for you. I moved down to Carolina last fall and had a heck of a time finding a driving job. What a nightmare. I finally took one with JBHunt, DONT DO IT, because it was all i could find and it has sucked the whole time. I am looking now but cant find one yet.

Not sure where in Carolina you are but Cargo Transporters is hiring in Claremont xit 135 off I40

Are you sure they are hiring? A friend of mine's parents drives team for them and I heard they are laying off drivers and are having a hard time keeping the ones they do have busy.

I went back to Celadon. Started on the sixth. Miles suck right now, but that is the economy. I have never had problems before. Already took the dog to my neice. He seems ok. I really miss him. I will get over it. I am a firm believer that all things happen for a reason, we might not ever know why, but there is a reason. Thanks for everyone's help. I really appreciate it.

Good luck to you and drive safely.
