Job hunting at the end of the year is usually depressing and unrewarding. The holiday season is not traditionally a popular time for employers to do their hiring, those in charge of employing new workers usually prefer to hold off till the start of the year, but right now there are still a few companies out there advertising jobs. Those people who are presently unemployed and want 2o12 to start out with some good news may want to look at what is being offered. Below are a couple of examples of what is available.

Old Dominion Freight is looking for owner operators in the Jacksonville area. In order to get a job with them, you must have a class A license, a Transportation Worker Identification Credential from the TSA, hazmat certification, at least one year of experience driving a tractor-trailer, as well as a clean driving record. Old Dominion only hires drivers who are at least 22 years old, so you will need to be that age or older.
