Usually little J earns in the $5000k weeklyplus per diem up to $200 per day
The fellow exposed is fine and will not get laid off and will not be exposed for a year. A fat compensation check as well. They are urine tested twice daily for exposure. Exposed fellow peed black.x1Heavy Thanks this. -
Anything is worth it if you love to do it. I have a friend who “loved” biggins (large women). I could never figure it out, but it wasn’t my place and he is happy. And often quite exhausted. LOL

I fully understand the attraction to trucking as 6 weeks training and you step into $40K plus annually. Unlike the 3 year commitment to an apprenticeship in the the trades.

I will agree with Dave on this one. I wont haul fuel for my own reasons. But exposure to certain things that can hurt a person really bad if that person (Not necessarily yourself or anyone specifically, I am speaking in general) missed a important detail in his work.
I can also think or choose to consider the fun I have had out there with a big truck. I don't speak of it often enough as I should. We live in a Nation where in many areas the people are great in their own ways. Im just passing through. And you never forget the good ones.Dave_in_AZ Thanks this.
