Were you trained by a vocational program? How many years experience? Are you currently in NJ?

Any chance it was Engine City Tech? Since he is a new graduate, has he contacted his school's career placement department to inquire about job leads? That's where I would start ...

Lincoln (formerly DADC) has a huge network, lots of contacts and more than 60 years in the industry. His best bet would be to contact their job placement department for assistance.

I periodically check a free publication called the Employment Guide and the Job Guide that frequently list transportation industry jobs. I usually see them at the supermarket, Wal Mart, etc. I have seen jobs specifically for diesel mechanics, heavy equipment operators, CDL drivers, etc.

Red face Openings

If your friend has any experience, he might be able to get a position on an upcoming job my husband has in Union County. He would obviously have to apply for it, interview, and probably move himself. Since he's not senior level, I don't picture him getting a relocation package. He would have a better chance at it if he actually lived here, though...
