hope to find out tomorrow. been living out here in seattle area for 20 years now.my brother lined me up with the president of the union in dubuque ,whom owes my brother a few favors .so sent him my resume last week and he forwarded it to the trans.supervisor of the company sounds like it should be a pretty good job if i get it .will be kinda odd to not have any mountains to cross anymore.may look for a place somewhere south of there .my folks live right outside of camanche. maybe maquoketa or dewitt area would be nice, gotta have a shop though

 

Hey fordsrgrt
let me know when and where your comming I have some friends that live in Maq, could help hook you up with a place... I live just up the road in Dubuque

 

will do might be end of the month.my brother lives in dubuque .hes the driver superviser for swiss valley.im trying to get on with standard forwarding .my brother says their one of the better companies to work for their.not sure of the pay and such but being union i guess it cant be to bad

 

$15 a hour, 30 cents a mile. know it for a fact

 

$15.00 hr.& .30 a mile=Standard Forwarding?? I hope that is the starting wage, or you all must have a different contract in Iowa. A good friend of mine turns Quad Cities from So. Bend and makes a bit more money than that. (Full Scale) It is a good little company to work for though, I believe it is still family owned since its beginnings in 1934.

I live in the Dewit area. Look at Grand Mound. 1 town 650 people 5 trucking copanies. how big of a shop are you looking for.

 

i meant a shop as in a large garage type .would like to find something big enough to fit my truck and jeep in to work on them .but will see once im back there as not sure where i want to live exactly.
