"Van or flatbed...which one?"

I believe it is possible that this is the best thread on the whole bloody site.

 

and I promised i wouldn't quote anymore. You are so correct, mi mano. I've gotta haul bridge beams tonight, because its too cold for the 6122. I'm taking the wife for securement purposes, LoL. she gets it better than me.....but I gotta roll the Petey..

 

Seems you like you think along the same lines as me. I have to retype quite regularly. People tend to get offended when I say what I'm really thinking lol

 

When I first was going for my class 1 I had no interest in doing flatbed. I even took a load securement class when I was doing my class 1 with my driving school just because it was something to take and after that class I was for sure telling myself I wanted to haul a van. Flatbed seemed like hard work. I just wanted to get a job where I could just drive and sleep, not worry about much and be gone for weeks on end because I had nothing keeping me at home. 6 years later who would have thought I would be doing what I'm doing now. After I got my class 1 I couldn't find a job anywhere so I took a job delivering styrofoam blocks and insulation locally driving a 1 ton with a 30ft trailer with the possibility of moving up. From there I was hooked. I actually liked being outside, telling them how to load it, strapping it down and customers actually happy to see me. I've had 1 job actually hauling a van and I took it because it was hourly pay, good equipment and I still didn't have my 2 years yet. Wasn't a bad job as I unloaded and loaded myself delivering doors. Got bored of looking at a van behind me though and took a job car hauling. Loved that job but I got the itch for more money and back to the oilfield I went. I could never see myself hauling a van again unless my health and age caught up with me but I think I still have 30 years or so until I have to worry about that... hopefully I'll retire before that point!

What was that movie: (was it Sam Jackson playing) a high school principal screaming at some kid he caught smoking crack on the roof "READ A ####### BOOK- OR JUMP OFF THE ROOF!"

If you can't be bothered to learn throughout every aspect of your life: jump off the roof. We don't need more stupid people. Worlds full of them already.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
