Frederick Frigid Weather Trucking

All I can say is make sure you plug that tractor in to keep it warm enough to start in the morning!

Snow Removal Season?

Heating Oil Delivery?

Propane Delivery?

When I drove a truck I always made more money in the winter than I ever did for the rest of the year. I have HazMat and I delivered heating oil for the old Steuart Petroleum during the 80's and 90's.
Normally this time of year can be a tough time to get a truck driving job. With the housing industry tanking and taking credit and the stock market with it the rest of the year may be "slim pickings" as well.

I saw on a Cable Business show that there were clear indicators that the economy should turn around by July 09 (well, I found the argument lucid, good enough for me to post here)

On the bright side fuel costs are way down, that translates into lower overhead for truck owners and increased shipping (driving demand for what we do for a living back up). More than once I've worked on a truck far into the night and had to wake up at 00:dark thirty because if I'd not worked on the truck there would have been nothing for me to drive the next day.

============================

I found these two Frederick Maryland Openings for truck drivers in the paper. I posted them here to illustrate that if you are an experienced dump truck driver, you can still find work opportunities pushing snow even though the season for hauling dirt and stone is several months off.

Frederick Maryland CDL Job Openings

Frederick Maryland occupies a unique geographic niche in CDL employment

By being on the mid point between freight going to and from Baltimore and Ohio, Baltimore and Pittsburgh, East Coast and all points towards Chattanooga.

Normally a medium sized city like Frederick would be limited to local CDL employment opportunities. Trucking firms that hire for local runs and the like. Frederick CDL drivers can drive for Long Haul Carriers easier than most cities this size due to the fact that the trucking company has to drive past here both inbound and outbound.

If you drive over the road you're going to sleep on the road, either in a hotel, a truck stop, or in the sleeper berth. Therefore you don't have to live close to the terminal as you're not commuting to and from every day like a local driver would.



I didn't realized when I started this blog that the interest in finding Frederick Maryland CDL Employment would be 75% of all incoming traffic from all the major search engines.

Videos about long haul drivers

Over the holidays I've not had much time to blog... sorry.

I'm working on getting current job openings posted if not daily, then weekly.

And my license is almost cleaned up!

I got caught 4 times with bad tags, drove my Dad's car after he died...
I was lucky I didn't get charged with driving with no insurance!

One prospective employer told me that my driving record looks like I had a pattern of irresponsibility. I wish that shoe didn't fit.

I've done my penance... in less than 60 days, I can get the entire thing expunged!

NO sh**!!!

3 years since a moving violation and MD MVA will let you get a clean slate.

Looking forward to that.

I write full time, but it'd be nice to have my CDL to fall back on.

I've *fallen back* on it quite a few times over the past 26 years.

Hope you had a nice as a Thanksgiving as I did.

Perenial CDL Opening?

I'd be remiss if I didn't post about this local Frederick Company who has a Permanent Help Wanted Ad in the local newspaper. Actually these people are right across the street from my new home on New Design Rd:

MATTRESS WAREHOUSE

HOME DELIVERY DRIVERS WANTED

(CDL Class A) Rapidly growing retail chain seeking CDL certified truck drivers. FT/PT day/eve positions. TRAINING. $1000 SIGN-UP BONUS details at interview. Income potential up to 60k! Home every night, new A/C trucks, top pay with excellent benefits package: 401K, Health & Dental. BRING COPY OF DRIVING RECORD. Background check performed. Drug testing REQUIRED. Apply in person: 4949 New Design Rd, Frederick .

And just North and West of Frederick Maryland here's another perennial always need help Permanent Help Wanted for CDL Truck Drivers ad I always see:

D.M. Bowman

Drivers CDL-A Solo Drivers for Regional Positions $5,000 Sign-On Bonus for Teams More pay if you have HazMat Endorsement. D M Bowman Inc. www.joindmbowman.com

1-800-609-0033

Now I've always wondered if there was something wrong with a company that, for some reason, couldn't seem to keep a driver happy...

With Bowman and Hahn Transportation, I believe the reason they seem to always need help is because of geography. There isn't any public transportation where they're located, and often you've got to be at work at 3:00AM or something similar.

Ditto for Mattress Warehouse, the bus doesn't come down the road that far...

Not sure what Mattress Warehouse is paying, perhaps that is why they always need help? I'll apply there just to find out and report back here.

I know Hahn pays $16 per hour for bulk tankers (dry cement tankers), and Hahn pays $19 per hour for gasoline drivers with a little extra for night differential.

I always preferred to deliver gas at night.. wanted the streets and highways to myself and wanted the gas station to be empty when I got there:)

I've heard that the amount of work Bowman has goes up and down, sometimes Bowman can get a decent paying contract to haul different materials and sometimes it's slim pickings.

With fuel prices at the lowest levels in a very long time I believe hauling contracts will increase. If it costs too much to get it there, and the profit isn't there to cover the costs the frieght will just have to sit there until the economics change. That is NOT true for:

Food,

Trash

Those two items will get trucked no matter what the economy is doing.


Speaking of trash... there is residential trash, sanitary trash (a euphemism for the stinky crap), construction trash (rubble), municipal trash.

From Frederick Maryland CDL Truck Driving Jobs

This is the municipal variety, these guys haul the trash OUT of Frederick's Landfill. Apparently, some trash gets buried and some gets hauled out. This picture is from behind Costco at the Travelodge.

Travelodge is one of the few places in Frederick where a big rig can get parked. If you're staying at the Travelodge (upwards of $50 a night) you can park for free.

Truck drivers usually get discounts at hotels, we give keep them busy!
If you're not staying there, Travelodge will still let you park a tractor and trailer for a monthly fee. Last time I asked (I was driving for Superior Carriers at the time) the fee was $100 month. I'll have to inquire if that's gone up or down.

That's all I have today.
see ya
