    Benefits are covered. No need to work but there are golf balls to be sliced and fish to catch.

    Depends how much money you need and where you live. In southern ont there is a lot of seasonal work available for an experienced driver. If you like hauling cars I'd stay on the list and pick up a job driving a dump truck or other local type work. It'll slow up in the fall and hopefully your car hauling job will pick up by then. Good luck on your choice
     
    Nordiques Thanks this.

    New car hauling in southern Ontario is slow this time of year every year. The plants go down for a week or two for retooling and/or inventory. Should be back to work within a few weeks.

    I had heard the auto industry is getting into trouble again I guess new car repossessions are on the rise and defaults on car loans are increasing same as like the housing crisis of 2008-2009.

    You are absolutely correct. This will be the next Big One. People still financing vehicles with 0 down because that's what's in their pocket today:)

    I tow breakdowns on the road.
    I get calls, and give them a break, (Sometimes,) cause I see they're in a bad way.
    Had one that was just a load and move; my minimum is $50; said give me 40 bucks.
    The guy is going thru the bottom of wife's purse for the rest of her change to make it?
    Yes; we are in quite a recovery!/sarc.

    **As a side-note; I read yesterday the CEO of one of the opioid pill manufacturers
    got a 1.6 million dollar bonus - on top of his 20 million dollar sallary.
    Some animals are more equal than others.
