    Hi still looking for my first job

    Can only drive straight trucks

    This position is not really commercial due to weight of truck, but requires airbrakes

    Is a street sweeper a seasonal job? Has flusher too...I guess that is a water truck?

    Sounds seasonal if I'm not wrong?

    I don't know why it would be seasonal unless we're talking about location with a lot of snow in winter but then I would suspect they'd become plow operators during snow periods.

    Lmfao, @buzzarddriver, if the city of Laredo puts you on the payroll as a plow driver, hold on to that for as long as possible
     
    Grubby Thanks this.

    There's more research to be done. I suggest you go for a company that is based on a wealthy county for a full time job. Where I used to live, street sweepers were out every night till morning. The city/county always looked clean and fresh because of it.

    Those who refuse to bend over can only find part time/seasonal jobs and still get rich.
