    Make sure they put blocking in between each bundle of that rebar or be sure each bundle is pushed together so they're touching each other before you cinch it all down. Looks like a sweet deal. Hopefully it works out for you.

    I’m sure that’s pre tax money. So take should be a grand or so.

    The “apartment” is the benefits lol. So no insurance or anything but I have VA anyways so I don’t need it.

    Im hoping it’s not a rathole, no way to know until I go check it out.

    I saw him advertising this job a few months back as a Teams position. He wanted the truck back every night. I’m guessing that didn’t work out. His yard in Vegas has about 20 trailers in it from what I could see on maps. Probably going to be tough to find a current or former driver for him.

    Not the worst job ive ever seen. Even assumeing you lived in a dirt cheap studio before thats an easy $700-900 value right there, depending on the place they offer of course. If its basically a studio assumeing 30% wages as tax thats still a good 55k and not a bad offer. It its a normal 2 or 3 bed apartment even if you share it with people.you can at least tolerate. Its a great deal. If its a rat hole with 20 homeless dudes and 2 street thugs wanting protection money every week behind the local appliance store on cardboard blvd....less so.

    Just depends on the fine details.

    Job will probably last one week and then the real job will be presented to you :)

    Be careful, you don’t really want too many jobs on your resume.

    I was able to track this companies yard down and it looks like a junkyard lol. The "onsite apartment" must either be in the mobile officer trailer or one of the many intermodal containers around the property!
