Any other good paying jobs?

Stunt ####.

 

Mixer driver in some places.

I take home 1000-1200 a week. 50-55 hours.

I’m paid the least. Once I’m at full scale in a few years it’s 80-100k depending on how much I want to work.

It’s not back breaking.

 

Work at a cheese factory they pay about $20 per hour. And union mostly.

 

Tankers
Car hauling
Personally, I wouldn't do car hauling because the work is too hard. Many drivers like it and make big bucks.

 

Tankers is easy work and the money is really good. The tanker company where I worked, acquired a lot of former car hauler drivers that had to leave car hauling due to bad backs. Some of those guys were younger than me, yet they hobbled around like they are 90 years old.

Some drivers with Trimac Transportation are making over $100K. Takes two years to reach that.

 

It’s stressful at first just because it’s a whole new world and you pull up to a pump truck pumping 400 yards that day with 10 other mixers staged after you to pour you gotta move quick.

But now it’s not really stressful for me at all. Finding the jobs in the boondocks are pretty easy. It’s the ones downtown you gotta be careful with. You might have three different pours on the same block. You don’t want to get mixed up it could get expensive quick. If you put 4500 pound sidewalk mix in a sky scraper colum that requires 9000 pound mix it’s gonna be a problem lol.

All our trucks have tablets with gps in them and we have radios with our own channel so you have 35 other drivers and two dispatchers right there to help you at all times. It’s a pretty well oiled machine.

We’re all union around here except one company big they still pay pretty close to our pay because otherwise no one would drive for them. They actually call our company and ask what we pay whenever our union contract gets renewed so they can bump theirs drivers pay up too.

Full scale here is 31 an hour, our contract is up next year so we get a raise then. Pay has never gone down. Idk where you are located. I know some places mixer doesn’t pay well at all but if it does In your area I'd say check it out and ask some drivers how they like it.

It’s pretty fun man, you don’t have to sit in the truck bored all day and you’re always doing something new and working with new people. If a contractor is a douche that’s ok because I’m gonna be done in 10 minutes to an hour and off to catch another load.

Another pro, no dot, not logs or none of that. If I gotta drive on a 3 ton road at 90k pounds i can do that. We go a lot of places trucks don’t normally go.

 

I tried some crazy 3 car ramp operation pulled by a smaller Freigtliner. Lot's of weird halfassed directions from Dealerships or Auction sites. Kind of annoying when the cars on not necessarily loaded in order of delivery.

You might get to a site and the car being delivered is in the front, so you have to unload several cars to get to it and then reload them.

 

Grocery store but in house. None of that aldi crap where they contract out and pay peanuts. Vons and Albertsons guys here make 100k plus union bennies. Ltl companies and other private fleets pay well as well
