Got my CDL today. leave for ND in a week

ill just make my own tree stand and say hello to Palmela Handerson

 

with a title like boomtown babes... i think ill like it too!

haha for sure! just got some new red wing 1,000g thinsulate composite safety toe boots... those will help. now i just need a good pair of mud overboots.

 

i really need to learn how to do a "multi-quote" post hahaha

 

So, you got a place to start working or headed there to search or....???

 

Its that "+ thing next the the quote. Then after you hit all of them go to the bottom of the page and hit reply and they will all pop up in the order you clicked them.

If you use the mobile site you have to quote...then copy and go back and quote somethig else and past quote #1 etc etc....

 

rolfson oil. turns out ill be hauling deisel fuel and not water like i orginally thought

perfecto... thanks

 

Six days and counting.

Good luck man...guess we'll be seeing some pics when you get there???

 

Hope your ready for -60F windchill. It hit -55 in Tioga on a well I was on last night.

 

sooooo. ran into a problem today.

the company i was pre hired for hired someone who already lives out there in my place. sooo now im back to square one trying to find a company who will hire no experience...

huge disapointment... i put in a few other calls today but nothing promising

 

Bummer Norman. Don't let it get you down brother.

When you mentioned the name of the company the other day, I checked out their web-site and it only said "experience preferred". I'd reapply & submit applications at other companies.

Does the driving school offer placement options? Might not be what you want but, it could provide the opportunity to get some seat time. Additionally, you may look around for some O/O team type work, farmers ect. Don't know as it's not my industry but, keep your head up man and press on.

Best of luck

 

yea the liaison at school is preparing a list of companies for me to contact

and yor right, the company requires experience but its the company my uncle works for and he talked with the boss man and got it ok'd but because someone who was already living out there applied i lost it... sooo ive still got a few more hurdles to jump now... but nothing i cant put my mind too and overcome

skydiving man... ill get there hell or high water

 

Why don't you go out there for a week and stay with your uncle? Saw signs for a large trucking company hiring last time I was there..... Badlands Power Fuels....?..... As long as you have your CDL you should be good to go SOMEwhere there.

 

i thought this myself but unfortunately my uncle cant let anyone stay with him under his current housing contract with the company.

and i dont have the money to pay for a hotel and its way to fucking cold to sleep in the bed of my truck even with my shell on

 

aslo one of the companies i contacted today was power fuels. the lady said she call me back by the end of the week

 

Cool. Yeah, debilitatingly cold there even without this Arctic thing. Check out a bunch of hotshot companies, too. I'll keep my ears open for you. Good luck!

 

thanks man.

its good to know complete strangers sharing the same interest in trucks are willing to help someone out! good karma is coming to you all!

thanks

 

I'd offer to let you stay with me but I'm in the same situation your uncles is in. Nobody but employees can stay overnight in paid for employee housing. Not even spouses. Zero exceptions.

 

yea it sucks but its understandable

 

just got a call back from the same company i was lined up with before and they have another position for me to fill!!!

WOOT WOOT!

this on top of the 5 other companies ive applied for this past week!

 

Jump in your truck now, and gtf out there! Congrats, man!
