    My girlfriend and I did OTR and expedited as team drivers. After taking a break from the industry, we finally got hired with our current company. We work as traveling health technicians across a 4 - 5 state region; conducting health screenings for factory, railroad, and airline workers.

    Even though we both hold a CDL-A, only one is required per team. This job is less driving and more customer service. During the last 6 months we had a TOTAL of 6,000 miles driven.

    We are paid monthly and we also get weekly Per Diem. Having a CDL-A bumps up your monthly pay; for example, I do all the driving, but because my girlfriend also has a CDL-A we both make the higher monthly salary.

    We are on the road 6 months at a time (which can be hard for some) but we are in hotels every single night and do NOT work weekends. In 6 months, we have worked one Saturday for 4 hours, and were given Monday off to make up for it.

    Ask us anything!!

    I did mobile marketing for several years. Good money but weekend work. 1099 and $1200 a week, $35 per diem and $80 hotel allowance. I could talk most any place into that. They knew companies won't pay more. We used to hit the regular Holiday Inns and get a real breakfast free. This was early 2000s.

    We primarily test worker’s hearing in our audiometric trailer. We also do sound level readings inside facilities, test worker’s respirators, vision, and pulmonary function.

    Although I’m not a physician, Google says there is no cure.

    Tinnitus isn’t real, it’s all in your head
