ANY ADVICE for an 32 yr old woman

You seemed to be set with the CRST thing, good luck on that! Really that is not a shot on you but more on them. I noticed your in OKC, and if you want to have a decent amount of home time (it's a big thing for myself), then you should consider a outfit near home. We have a local customer and that allows me a decent amount of home time.

 

there are different locals that have training programs that will help people get a c.d.l., my local has that, there are guys, that just got there c.d.l. and joined the union, there are different contracts too, a new person would be on a standard contract, they would not be allowed to work on heavy construction until they get more driving time

 

were not allowed to talk about our company on the internet, its there policy, I could talk about my local, but not the company, I will say that I work for the 3rd largest construction company in the world, we do bridges and roadways

 

.... Bechtel.

 

The Teamsters represent Bechtel???

 

Thanks! I was just curious about differences between Canadian and US based companies. I'm local 31, and I'm doing all heavy haul/construction. I love it!

 

your in delta , b.c. Rite ? I left freight about 15 years ago, the money is in construction, you could not get me to go back in freight, i love job site work.......

 

all construction companies, that work in certain areas have to use union labor, IF ITS A STRONG UNION AREA

 

Indeed I am. I totally agree, I don't think I could ever bump docks again.

 

That's what she said!
