    Well, if you dont mind running skate, there is a company i can suggest, at least looking into. As long as you get in at one of the bigger locations, they have A and B trucks...

    Gaurdrails are somewhat easy as telephones to replace. It was actually one of the missions of my crew that I protected back in the day. My specific role was a flagger, to run out into and get run over by the rebellious and road raging traffic cars that will just same as to shoot me. We also did Gas Lines and tree removal as well. Rain or snow did not matter. Here in Arkansas add tornados and super cells. lol.

    Thanks for the feedback. Can you give some more specifics? What kind of trucks did you see doing the guardrails, how big of a crew? Can you give like a general walkthrough of what you saw them doing ect.

    Little two axle bucket/crane Jobs towing small two axle pintle hook beaver trailers. Stack the rail on one, throw a bunch of buckets and tools on the other and off you go.

    Anything more is essentially not something IM willing to type out. Turning bolts and nuts and watching people bend over verifying measurements etc. Ugh.

    I didn't read past this.

    17-18 hourly is crap pay and what I'm trying to get away from. It's just so hard to live in the 36K range these days. And I'm single with 1 child to think of. I can't see how you'll make less doing the regional. Nothing is more important than my daughter, except her future. And I can't contribute to that future at 36K per year.
