Winter jobs to avoid driving?

I'm moving south lol.

Seriously if stuck in the north, I'd wonder about driving a dedicated account would help. What pissed me off was so many customers not plowing or salting their yards and I get stuck after coming in their gate.

Then I tried Yard Jockey and my company yard wasn't maintained either and we had to use tire chains. It was a ridiculous mess.

 

Get a place in Phoenix. Lots of CDL work there. You'd be good until April before you started to melt. Then, if you decided you like the area, just get a job in Payson, Show Low, Flagstaff, etc a few hours away.

 

Put a snow shovel on the hood and drive South when someone asks what it is stay there

 

A job in Payson? You're funny--where are these mythical jobs?

 

One winter I did a experiment, dispatcher arranged for me to stay in Texas to Florida, Pipe east and chain, cable west on 10. Did that for almost 6 months. Rained alot, a could of storms and missed a brutal winter. I returned to Indiana after accumulating enough problems to require some shop time to get it all fixed. Small things. Before they got big things.

Most times I took winter as it came, but some years I'll be home toasty while old man winter howled, this would be with blacktop etc where the unemployment replace the pay for work that is not done in winter.

 

Payson Concrete seemed to be busy when I delivered there. There's another concrete yard there as well that I didn't get to. Up the road toward Snowflake is Reidhead's which also seemed pretty vital when I delivered cement. Also several propane companies up in there that hire right now. It's not all puling boxes.

 

Maybe it's different now, but when I lived there, none of those companies were hiring and if they were, the pay was ten levels below garbage.

 

You're crazy IMO. Dumps for spreading salt and plowing make good coin. Lots of sitting around and getting paid by the hour too.

 

Don't forget about backing into an ice-covered loading dock to drop your trailer and releasing the fifth wheel and not being able to pull out from underneath your trailer because the tires are spinning on a solid sheet of ice.
