Looking for help, the eighteen trucking jobs from 1979 to 2003 all came by word of mouth for me. In 2004 took a good job as a dispatcher for a limo company contracted to a four star hotel. The money was good, every now and then we would be short a driver, so I would drive someone to the airport and receive a tip on top of the tips the shuttle drivers would leave on my desk at the end of the night for keeping them moving. Then Dec 2009 the four star hotel occupancy drops to less than nine percent, we could not keep up, the owners of the limo company closed the doors and went out of business. Another limo company takes over the hotel contract with an offer to re- employ many of us. It lasted about two weeks, then they asked me to become a chauffeur at half my pay scale, I declined, unemployment paid more. All of 2010 my girl friend, family and myself took turns caring for my mothers health that was declining from dementia. We lost her in January of 2011, she was a good mother to all, God Bless ! Now comes February 2011, I call CRST VAN EXP, this turns out to be a bigger mistake than not getting my diploma or my GED thirty-three years ago, long story short, ran over 45 pound a-frame barricade that put a hole in the oil pan, my fault but did not feel bad about it, ended that job. Last week I get a call from a local trucking company that tells me we can put you to work right away But ?? I think its my point in a half for having to much fun with CRST'S truck. The man on the phone tells me no its your education, the owners have a think about that, but the points on your DMV can be worked with, he tells me get your GED and pass it and we will put you work. I under stand that and respect it, but at age 51 I need A JOB and will be willing to work on obtaining My GED at the same time. Any drivers that may have had to manged this unfortunate type of situation would be helpful. THANK YOU !!!
