    Off topic but can't help asking. Is parking on an offramp really a misdemeanor in VA? I'm shocked.

    Food service or LTL if you like being home every day or at least most days. Food service is hard work but you should do at least a 1000 a week after taxes on the low side
     
    Rusty Trawler Thanks this.

    Full Benefits, if you mean fully paid, you are probably looking at a Union Job which means LTL or Food Service for the most part.

    I've been ticketed for double parking, parking in turn lanes and getting busted coming back to the truck with lunch etc, not misdemeanors. Just parking tickets, a Police written one, not like the meter maid type but not "crimes" either. I'd like to know exactly what he was ticketed for myself.

    6 months? hmm... Not too shabby.

    Let's do this one year or even better 2 years and we will talk again.

    The reason I say this is because everyone who owns a bunch of trucks refuse to look at job hoppers and those who quit or move inside a year. The more time you put into a company for better or worse 2, 3 5 years practically makes you a old hand and a very valued one at that.

    If you have problems with anyone, FIX IT before that little lit match between you two becomes a great fire that make sure you are in ashes and sackcloth.

    Tickets in trucking for parking at one time was outrageous but as long your ### is not present when they start writing there is no foul. Sorta.

    I was in the 76 off 78 in Jersey, about the 8 exit when 4 local police stood at my rig's door because it ws parked on the dirt shoulder for overflow parking while leaning on a number of no parking signs. I ate my dinner starting with salad then through to desert and coffee with smoke watching them wait two hours. Went out there, got the verbal abuse, tickets (Plural) and a jackboot in my arse. Paid the ticket (40 some dollars) and left there. I would return there for many years but not any more trouble.
