    The Company I have been with has went down hill.
    The manager is an A-hole and they let the warehouse workers talk down to us all the time.
    Been there almost a year and ready to choke all of them.
    The Manager is one of those who say "drivers are a dime a dozen" and is just a peckerhead!

    New job offer,
    Better pay,Benefits that are unreal,yearly bonuses in the thousands of dollars,Company cell phone,food allowance,clothing allowance and the list goes on.
    Fully loaded Coronados,leather,Sirius radio,DD16 with a 13 speed and no governor, paper logs.
    Only downside is longer away from home time.

    This is working the Nascar circuit and pulling a 53ft race trailer with equipment (not the race car)
    Hotels while at the track and they take care of you really well.

    Really going to miss weekends at home!
    I had another job lined up pulling flatbed but this place called me Tuesday,Interviewed me and offered me the job the next day.

    I hope I'm not getting in deeper than I expect but think this will be challenging to say the least.
    Next time you guys see a big black Freightshaker pulling a Black race trailer with a big Sprint logo on the side hollar at EZ Money:biggrin_255:
    It will be 5 of us running together.

    I hope I get an invite to the shop... I take it your new job is in Mooresville?

    I got a tour of the Robby Gordon shop once off of I485/I77.. I enjoyed his two custom made trucks that he uses for desert racing.

    The shop I will be running out of is in the Concord-Harrisburg area.
    About 25 minutes from my house.
    It is where all the pre-race stuff for Sprint-Nascar is run out of.
    The stages,Electronics and tons of other stuff for the sound and lighting crew...
