I've been living in LR now for 4 months and have been commuting to my job in Russellville everyday. The company I work for has been very generous to me over my 4 year tenure and I hate to move on but some of the things I was hoping would happen by now have not happened. I thought about holding out until the end of the year but the daily drive and long days are starting to wear on me. Some days I get there at 6 a.m. and don't leave until 6 p.m. That's not counting the hour long commute on each side of that.

If anyone here has any leads on a good job opportunity please get a hold of me. I have a Bachelors degree in Business Management/Marketing. I have been in the wholesale tire business for 4 years now. We do $30+ million in sales/year and I am currently sales/assistant manager of the Russellville office. I spend a lot of time behind a desk and on the phone and I'm hoping to find something where I can be out and about more. I'm not opposed to another sales job but I'm also open to other options.

I'm just trying to shorten my days and have some time to get back to work on the 40, and more importantly spend more time with my wife.

Thanks for any help guys!
 
@Bomar would be a good person to chat with.
 
Tireguy....it looks like 4wheelparts in hiring for a new store in LR. I have heard they are good to work for. Inside and outside sales jobs.

You may done something else by now just sharing info.
 
Cool news about 4WP. Looked at the website and it's going to be in NLR/Sherwood on Warden Rd.

Thanks for the info. I will look into this. Looks like they already have a store manager listed. I'll try to get his contact info. I'm now managing the warehouse where I work and in all honesty, I've been so busy, I haven't had the time or the motivation to search for a desirable job. Not saying that I don't want a change, it's just after a long day sitting at a desk, the last thing I want to do is sit behind another one and surf the job sites.
 
Why the hell would they put it all the way out there??
 
Good question, Waldo! I thought they would have learned from Brad's unfortunate offroad business closing (4x4 Offroad Outfitters). Sure would seem to make sense to put it out somewhere close to Bass Pro Shops and them new Outlet Malls. Guys being forced to go to the Outlet Malls with their wives/girlfriends could see that, and go to 4WP while they shop...

Is it going in the same location? I think I saw them leveling that place the last time I was in dog town.
