I got fired today

Working in construction management, not totally sure what this sub is about but was told to bring it here. Got a phone call That things weren’t working out. Small company, 50 employees, 8mil a year in revenue. I proceeded to ask if I was being let go and was told I was, to return the company truck. Haven’t heard from the big boss yet, as he’s on vacation. Hopefully will tomorrow. I messaged today and asked to be called but he didn’t oblige. Not totally sure what to do. I’m in the southeastern US, laws for employees suck here. I’ve been there just short of 6 months, so I don’t qualify for unemployment best I can tell (Alabama). Really not sure what to do; anyone got anything? This is a mid-level job, new position to the company. Now that I’m thinking about it, we haven’t taken on the extra workload…

This is a mid-level job, new position to the company. Now that I’m thinking about it, we haven’t taken on the extra workload we originally were told we would be, so the current PM and I haven’t divided the division we manage, and with gas prices doubling our profit margins are slimmer, maybe that has something to do with it? I guess that makes sense. Not a white collar job; but stays around the median income in the area and has some decent added benefits (company phone, truck, flex hours, etc.)
