I am 46 years old and been a commercial delivery/truck driver for 25 years, and its now time to find a job that is not so in the public eye(like in an office or cubical or away from lots of people doing customer service as Ive been doing). Where do I explore and "expand my mind" to think out of the box of the career I have boxed myself into for these last 25 years?

Or doing work that you might normally associate with being done by regular american citizens or legal residents...like delivery truck drivers? I see a lot of signs that this might be going on, but of course, I have no proof. But theoretically speaking, once the illegal gets his false social security number, and states drivers license, he can literally apply for any job that does not require him to communicate with customers. A furniture delivery truck crew of 3 workers may have one person who speaks some english but the other 2 need not speak it at all, and certainly a road construction crew needs no english skills at all.

My younger brother wants to apply for the job but we can't find any posted earnings or wages so that he can determine if it will be worth it. We know they give you a company truck to drive and gas but that's about all we know. Oh and it will be local parts delivery to local auto shops.

I am desperate and I am tired of hanging around the house all day. I want to save money and eventually pay down my debt and start paying off my student loan. I am going to apply for a job at McDonalds because I need something to do. Should I leave off my college degree on the application? I have tried everything. I am competing with people with 15 years of experience and several Master's degrees. Nobody wants my fresh-out-of-college butt.

1 answer - Asked By: live2imagine - 11/15/2009
Assuming their hiring me implies training and getting my class B license. I get the sense it's a job with a lot of turnover because all the tow companies I've seen run ads constantly looking for employees. My previous job was a delivery driver for bank. I don't drink, smoke, or go out, have a family, would always be on time, don't have road rage, want to learn and work hard. The only problem might be that I do not want to be a tow truck driver my entire life, it's just one step on my goal to become a 4X4 auto restorer. See, I'll need to be able to own and drive a flatbed tow truck in order to pick up the many broken down 4X4's I'll be restoring. Unless... I should concentrate on the restoring and hire out for the delivery of the trucks.

Will Google's research into driverless vehicles lead to job loss or reduction in pay to local truck drivers or delivery drivers like UPS or Fedex? These are good well paying jobs that people are proud to call a career. It seems as if automation is on the brink of killing off more middle class jobs. I just hope it doesnt happen in the 30 yrs. or so that I left to work!

Was thinking about moving over there from Miami, Florida but I want to make sure I won't have a hard time finding employment. How much money do they make, on average? I'm inquiring on behalf of my husband who has a class A CDL. He currently works for USPS and we were thinking of moving from Miami to Colorado, but I wasn't sure if he could get a job there. He's open-minded as to what type of work he'd do as long as he can make at least a modest income.
