Info on driving in Honolulu Hi

Very congested

Very overpopulated

Nice place to visit

Horrible place to live

Been twice in my lifetime.

Great to the tourist.

Good luck

::lurks thread)

 

Might give Conway freight a shot in honolulu

I know I've taken enough loads to the bnsf railyard in Chicago from Ottawa or some crap run that they stay pretty busy. (Snoop through all the bills)

 

Don't injure your neck trying to get a glimpse of hot Native girls in hula skirts .....

Sometimes they gather in groups and dance to the Hawaii Five O theme song in the streets

 

Keep in mind, Hawaii has the lowest standard of living out of all of the state's, and lower than many territories.
It cost a fortune to live there and the pay scale for the labor classes are very low compared to mainland.

 

and you got this info where?
I only lived there for 25 years and my oldest son still lives there. TRUE, traffic totally sucks, the whole island of O'ahu is only 20x40 miles, it's horribly expensive... but.. I miss my friends, the food and the "island style" of living. You don't actually "need" lots of stuff to be happy anywhere. Housing is very expensive. a/c is nice to have, I just kept the windows open. We also lived on the poor end of the island, but no hoa's where I lived.
Also lots of homeless due to drugs and low pay.
Driving truck? cement, gravel, etc. Some jobs are union. Also dock and shipping.
Good luck. In spite of all it"s faults, I miss Hawaii.
Especially when my friends grumble aboug how cold 70f is.....

Yeah, the runs are really short. I lived Oahu 13 years. Craigslist suggests the driving jobs available there pay $10-15/hour. How do you feel about food and shelter, are you addicted to them? How about living with roaches (virtually everyone does)? Are you comfortable being a minority race, assuming you're Caucasian?

If your buddy can get you a gig paying at least $25/hour, I'd go for it. Living in paradise doesn't make up for being broke and living hand-to-mouth and never banking any cash.
