Looking for a new career

Colossus625 · Feb 22, 2007

Hi to all, I am looking for a new job. I am currently a car hauler for a major company that is going through bankruptcy. Right now the industry is very unstable and I feel I should get out while the gettin' is good. What companies do you recommend I start looking into? Thanks to all who reply!

Jim has some good suggestions there Tony Baloney. Too bad you didn't pay attention to the warning signs.

I think the guy is planning ahead if you would read his post again. Jim is right about what to look into. If he is interested in learning about expediting he really needs to do a lot of reading of older posts.
Your best bet would be to attend the Louisville truck show at the end of March.

I read his post real well. Also read his profile. Did You? Like so many, he didn't read the warning signs in the immediate past. Didn't give us much to suggest on. Like, an O/O, driver, fleet owner? You know. Wadda ya think?

BTW Planning ahead?? I don't think so, after his company is broke.

Yeah but companys file bankruptcy all the time and continue operations through the bankruptcy hearings and come out stronger then before. Remember K Mart going bankrupt,now they control Sears,US Air filed and now they are trying to buy Delta. Winn Dixie in the south filed and they have emerged from bankruptcy with a BOO COO line of credit. The CEO who took them into bankruptcy has received a $2 million dollar retention bonus to steer them out of bankruptcy, while the original shareholders that invested in thecompany received zilch.

Your point? Did you make a bad investment?

Where have you been ? There is no Overnite . It is now UPS Freight . The major auto haulers filed bankruptcy but will continue to run . FedEx Custom Critical hauls autos . http://passport.fedex.com/us/about/default.shtml

FDX screw that, go buy a PU and a three to five car hauler, after you go contact Car Max. Little investment great returns the guy already has expierence hauling new cars he would be a gem to them.

As for XCOL think you might want to elaberate on your little secrets know one knows what the heck you are leading into since you do not finish anything but just jab, jab, jab. Nothing Positive said in anything you wrote, but whats new?
