How the hell does the state of California expect to pay off child support bill when they take your D.L. away so you can't get driving job and technically I can't drive to work so now I'm out if work and that bill keeps getting bigger, seriously I'm at my wit's end with this BS I'm literally being forced to do ilegal activities of some sort to make it

So after 3 years of college I left because it wasn’t for me. I looked into trucking since my uncle did trucking fora few years. I went and did the CDL school and have been working for this company for about 10 months now. I don’t think I want to stay OTR, I will probably go do local work after another 6 months to a year, but being able to live pretty much rent free and not worry about tons of bills is nice. I’ve been putting half my check towards my loans and as of last week I am now fully paid off… talk about a relief. I just wanted wanted to share some good news with everyone!! Stay safe, drivers

I just started trucking to help pay off some of my loans. I like it more than I thought I would, but recently my girl asked me to stop. She says I don't spend enough time with her anymore. She said to pick my job or her, that's messed up! I like making money, I NEED it! I feel like I am screwed either way here, but should I keep the girl or the job?

I have PTSD (I can't drive and only ride with 5 drivers). I have severe panic attacks to the point of passing out, vomiting and chest pains that mimic heart attack. My mom who I rode to work with on over an hour commute was forced to retire, so that left me no choice but to quit. Unemployment denied my claim...I can appeal...does anyone have any suggestions to help me get unemployment while I look for remote work or something close to home that I could get to with a trusted driver..

So I moved to California in March. (My husband’s company transferred here). I am 48 yr old female was doesn’t mind working. I am capable of working. I have my own transportation. I have been filling out applications after application, but NOTHING. What am I doing wrong? Please Help

So I am taking a year off from college since I am not sure what I want to do with my career. I’m in some debt and received a food delivery job where I am averaging $15 an hour. I love it. I am over customer service jobs as I been doing it for 10 years. I’m 28 and thinking of getting a CDL liscense to get a truck driver job :) I realized I’m not into office jobs and love driving jobs :)

I work for a window company that is run by a husband and wife. They are looking to retire in like 5 years... sooner if possible. The only other employees that do all the work are myself and a younger guy (27). He is just finishing up college within the next year and has been offered a job to begin within now and the end of the year from a company he interns with. Him and I love working together but the boss is a pain in the ass. I’ve a few interviews with other companies that offer more money and/or are more stable and closer to my home.... what do I do?

Recently, my son got into a confrontation with his boss. He was sitting down having a drink, before clocking into work. He had like 5 or 10 minutes, prior to clocking. Lot's of people do that. Especially, if you're in retail or restaurant work. His other co-worker was doing the EXACT same thing. His boss approaches him, gets verbally abusive, and demands that he clock in. Then she doesn't ask the other employee that was early to clock in. He is registered with MRDD, and has transportation that picks him up, because he DOESN'T DRIVE. The confrontation was recorded on camera, and my son ended up calling me at home, in tears. What type of manager does this to employee's???

I also had a conversation with the district manager, and he was verbally abusive, with me. I told him, I am NOT your employee and you WILL allow me to speak on behalf of my son. He didn't do anything wrong, all he was doing was sitting there before clocking in on his scheduled shift. District manager proceeded to discribe all of the things wrong that also includes, his ride is waiting he's off at for example 3:15. This company doesn't have the proper help as it is, they don't address employee's when it's time to do a shift change and count out the drawer, run reports etc. They just stand there and ignore you. Hey, it's time to clock out can I clock out PLEASE??? They ignore him and yet, the district manager, and continues to verbally abuse me, as well. But, all they want to do is blame him. He also went back to the date, that Connie the previous owner of the store, who is retired now, since Ed took over the store. If I'm not allowed to mention first names, delete the names PLEASE. I know 100% for a fact, that this company is verbally abusing my son, and targeting him. How can Sam be allowed to sit till 12 pm enjoy her drink, and he gets yelled at for not clocking in??? it wasn't time to clock in??? Fed-up with jerks!!! Any advise??? And can he be fired for that!!!???

UPDATE; It really pays to go through proper channels. This all worked out really well and will NEVER be handled this way again. We got really lucky that HR ACTUALLY listened to us. Communication goes along way. I wish all companies, were like this.

And thank you for all of the positive feedback. I really like this site.

I was driving back home around 3 in the morning and I had not seen my family for over 4 weeks so I decided to take a short cut through some pretty isolated back roads that I didn’t know too well. It was literally in the middle of NOWHERE but I figured if it got me home faster it would be worth it.

So I get to this part of the road with all of these old creepy trees on the side. I hadn't seen a house or anything in hours, it was just miles and miles of nothing. Then out of the corner of my eye, I notice what I think is a body hanging from a tree on the side of the road in my rearview. I do a double-take because when you are tried your mind can play tricks. I blink, look again and still see him clear as day. I put on my break, backed up quickly and drove over ready to call 911. Then the guy is just gone. Totally gone! I got the hell out of there, but I know what I saw.

I’m a single mother of two with no family at all and a mortgage... I stepped out on faith due to a daily 98 mile round trip commute. I went on LOA in hopes to find a position near my new home that I bought last year. It took almost 4 months and I thought I was going to have to take a big pay cut but God said no you don’t my child. I got exactly what I wanted... $30 an hour with a 15 mile commute. Praise God!!!! Thank you so much for this blessing, now I have more time to spend in my new home with my beautiful children
