That seems to be the carrier goal here is to get into test so you can try em out on the rails. They claim your prof is one of the most stressful cause once she's rolling ain't stopping her quickly. I'll bet you see some very interesting things. And things you wished you hadn't. I tip my hat to you sir. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't know how but its awful to imagine, I feel bad for the guy that was in the train. I've also been hit by a train, barely lived by sheer luck but I was the only one in the car that did.

Big John! 2,062 Posted May 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Well, I went from zero to 70 in about 48 hours. Finally back to work after five months and gonna be working around 70 hours a week. I had called this quarry to see if they were even hiring and the HR lady told me to come talk to her. I did so, but didn't think much of it as they were technically not really hiring. I guess I shoveled enough BS to get a phone call a couple days later. So, I'll be running mainly 972 loaders, articulating haul trucks, track hoe, blah blah blah. I put in about 60 hrs this week and the place seems pretty laid back. But you can't tell shit about a place in a week. Hopefully it will work for me so I can fill my safe. I'm pretty whooped when I get home, so you guys will have to manage without my awesome wit as I won't have near the available time to spend on the puter. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't know how long I'll be able to keep up having ZERO life. But for now, it's paying the bills. Some times the nice house, picket fence, 2.5 cars, 3.5 kids (AKA the American dream) sure is a lotta work. A cushy job at 7-11 handing out Slurpee's sounds pretty good right about now, haha... I'mma spend the first part of my ONE day off shooting sporting clays tomorrow with my oldest son. Probably spend the other half sleeping as I'm fucking whooped.

dubya 198 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Our new truck are starting to arrive! 12 yard mixer...IMG_20130611_145059_687.jpg That's the throwback unit we did. Only one of the bunch with the two color paint scheme. Yeah it's SUPER nice. Not only the paint job but these new Kenworths are mean trucks. We have a few other two tone (blue. & white) trucks but they're about 10 years old and arent retro like this new one. I got a new used truck this year, an 11 yard truck but just plain blue.

Sadly, the town I work in is small enough, that I can't go out to the bar, grocery store, or park without someone asking me for computer advice or for some free side-work. So... I do what I can, but explain my Draconian 2 year 200 mile no compete agreement prohibits me from working on their stuff. I'll answer a few questions, but beyond that, if they want my services they have to funnel it through the company. It's kind of a saving grace, as it gives me an excuse to not have to waste my Friday night fixing peoples sh!t for pennies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kevinfreel 215 Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Man I must have the one of the least glorious jobs on this from. I'm a counter guy at a Carquest parts store. I'm moving soon so I'm gonna stick with it so I can get a transfer through corporate. That being said wish I was still swinging a hammer. Work is more rewarding when you can see the fruits of your labor besides just a paycheck. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
