Daughters boyfriend called up last night with news that his dad could get me a job pulling an end dump for a guy that needs a driver for his extra truck.. In our area there's re building the entire interstate bridges and all for like 20 mile. Said I could start monday (its friday evening). Red flag immediately went up. Who hires someone sight unseen to drive his truck? Someone who has the ####tiest truck driving job available that's who.. Probably a beater piece of crap freightliner or something with no ac in texas heat but who knows right?He said they pay between 900-1200 a week 9-11 hours a day. So not that great pay but normal I guess for the area. His dad does the same but he owns his truck and trailer and leases it on to the same company. Says he makes $70 an hour.. I'm out of work right now so that being the case cant see anybody giving me finiancing for a truck or the trailer. I don't know everything so thus the post. It seems for me I either have a truck and no work or have the work with no truck lately..I could use some credit cards but pretty sure they won't allow you to use one for a down payment again I don't know. Any ideas?
End dump lease on city local work..

On a side note, i think its a bad idea to get your own truck simply because you see potential to make more money. The boys father is possibly set up to make more because hes been doing it longer. They could also not take your truck simply because they dont know you and then youd be stuck with a truck and no work.ChevyCam, Doealex and joseph1853 Thank this. -
