Well folks, been out of work since August 15th and still looking hard and steady. Unemployment runs out in like 2 weeks and the emergency unemployment compensation ends tomorrow. Don’t know if I’ll be able to get an extension. Anyone from Summerville to Charlesto, James Island , Johns Island ,West Ashley have any odd stuff that needs doing? Yard work, help repairing things or whatever. Know anybody that might be able to help me get a CDL? Spent the last 30 years doing office equipment repair and even finding it hard to get a job doing that. 56 years old and don’t want to lose my house. Not cripple enough for disability.

I am real sorry to hear about that. My wife’s unemployment ends here too. She is a full time student and lost her after school job. It’s been real hard for her to get the hours she needs. I am going to try and pick up some overtime at my job.
They are a little expensive bit you are pretty much guaranteed to get it. With the student loans available, you should be able to finance 100%.
I am a truck mechanic with my CDL but I don’t think there is a lot of money in driving like there was 5-10 years ago. I hear from a lot of drivers barely getting by. Hauling freight has become cut throat. If you wanted to run a dump at night hauling asphalt, I know a few people that may talk to you.

I know a few people who got their CDL's free through some kind of program at the Unemployment office. Ask about that after Jan 1. They should have fresh government funds to get you in. If you feel you are qualified for a job and turned down due to your age contact the department of labor. Good luck.
Mattr, yeah miller motte is 4k for a 4 wk course. I have actually been thinking about a dump truck. Cooper, with all apps going online now there is no telling why a person doesn’t get any call backs. I’m just figuring that beeing 56 they would rather hire younger guys and train them. I know driving a truck is rough and it takes a hell of a lot to make some money but at this point anything is better than nothing. But hey, thanks for the response and suggestions.
