    just get a pre paid flip phone and use it for making untraceable 911 calls.
    Toss it after the call, and get another one .

    I can’t imagine anyone WANTING to move furniture up and down stairs and I and off trucks with long carry’s you don’t get paid extra for.
    I HATE moving my own furniture .
    You ain’t got enough $$ to pay me to move other peoples furniture .
    And I figured The Pods would have really put the hurt on household moving since they have earned a bad reputation for doing cheap quotes and then holding your furniture hostage until you pay 3x the original quote .

    That’s nuts !

    why would anyone do that when they can go to a community college ?
    In my state the community college CDL course is $1,600

    Every state is different , most have grants that will cover a significant portion of the cost though.

    our state probabaly has that , but we probabaly earn too much to qualify so we didn’t even bother with it for $1,600

    $1600 or $4950, either way getting your own CDL gives you much more flexibility in jobs. The school I went to had a sheet of a couple dozen OTR and regional companies that hired directly from them, and another sheet with dozens of local small outfits. A lot of the companies will reemburse as well. Much better way to go IMO.
