    My tech days are pretty much over. Haven't turned a wrench professionally (USAF) in several years. If I get desperate I may get back in it.

    I'm looking at Mobile, AL. I have a CDL but no experience and have a company willing to pay .48 cpm. I'm near DC. If I can relocate with .48 and get 2500 miles per week, I can live with that while getting experience.

    You're welcome btw. Let me know how it goes.
     
    Alexp2686 Thanks this.

    .48 is not bad at all to start when I started back in 2015 I was making .35 a mile and if I got 1500 to 2k miles a week, it was a good week lol. I ended up leaving that company after 6 months and driving for crete at .48/m and stayed with them for a couple of yrs until I went local. Most companies are going to have bad reviews so if you see any for the company you want to work for don't let it discourage you, try it out if you don't like it go to another after a couple of months.
    I'll let you know what happens on saturday.

    Joined just for this post.... I am having same problem.

    Not really a problem I don't think but...

    2014 pete 387.

    Same circumstances, doors closed engine off key out.

    Starter interrupt relay clicks every 00:02:00 exactly. It's as if it is programmed to bump the relay on, or off, momentarily.

    I don't think it's a problem, but it's driving me nuts trying to figure out the cause.

    Aexp2686 hope you see this. Did you figure yours out in recent months?

    Unfortunately no I have not figured out I did notice sometimes when it clicks the engine break or cruise control lights up for .01 sec if theyre left in the on position.
    I did take it to 2 shops and they could not figure it out.
    1 shop was a TA the guy spent 3 hrs with me going over everything and could not figure it out but only charged me 58 bucks.
    The other shop said his tech spent 4 hrs and could not figure it out n charged me 99 bucks.
    Idk I may have to just take it to a dealer. I've been removing the starter relay when I shut off the truck in case it's messing something up n also cause it's been driving me crazy.
