it just seems like it never gets any better. All I want is a job that pays me enough to live with a straight seven in the morning until 4:00 or 5:00 in the evening Monday through Friday schedule.
I just want an honest days pay for an honest day's work. I mean there are jobs out there like that, but when they advertise, my application is getting drowned out in the stack of like 200 other people who are competing for the same damn role. when the hell is the economy going to get better so I could finally get my damn foot in the door? how the hell am I supposed to buy a house when most jobs don't even pay enough to cover rent for a one bedroom apartment? when are we going to get those manufacturing jobs back and transition out of this stupid fucking low-wage service economy? I just keep seeing things getting more and more expensive and I really don't give a shit about all this political fucking theater when at the end of the day I'm still getting squeezed just as hard as I was under Joe Biden.
I'm a truck driver with several years of experience and a clean driving record based out of Logan Utah. I'm trying to find local work that I can do while I work on my mechanical engineering degree. I'm just really frustrated because I mean there are local jobs here and I'm applying it's just the job hunt always always always sucks. I was trying to get a job at ABC supply Co and SRS distributors because I mean I'm not afraid of getting out there and actually putting in some manual labor but when I went in for the interview it was like holy crap my application was sitting there in a stack of other applications on the manager's desk right in front of me and it was like an inch thick
All the drivers want a local job like that. And their are a lot of people who can drive truck..... I would look for companies,that don't need a full time driver,but your license would put your name at the top of the pile.....
With driving, some labor, and that area. I would suggest calling the towing companies around there, the semi truck does need a CDL.
You have to get to know people and get referrals.. go to the local diners, make some friends.. talk to people… we’re all 2 degrees of separation from someone who knows someone who knows the company owners etc Trust in God..pray always, step by step, use your wit and wisdom, you’ll get that job.
Hit up excavation companies, tell them you want to learn to operate heavy equipment and you don't mind using a shovel if necessary. Dirt workers are always getting DUIs and shuffling equipment around is half the job.
