i have to admit this is tempting

Speaking of such, we quit buying cans of potatoes, and go for 20 pound bags instead. Burn a litle more on the stove, but you aint gonna find 20 pounds in cans for 20 dollars.

 

What kind of work do you do? My last job, not trucking but driving nonetheless, paid $10 an hour. You know what my raise was after four months? Fifty cents an hour. That's the norm. Not to get a $16 an hour raise in six months. I still say you lucked out. Good for you.

 

CAT would be one idea. Black and Decker or similar another...

 

I wouldn't mind an afternoon in a multi stick. Mostly for the cool factor. Won't disagree with you tho. If they told me I was now sleeping in it, I'd be balling my eyes out. I'll just keep my 70 inch condo

 

Posts like this make appreciate my 1099 East European job.Power inverter, APU (but can idle if need to too),75 mph truck.Still think they should buy me fridge and microwave too.I actually gave notice 2 days ago but maybe I should reconsider it.
It may surprise you but there are actually areas with 85 mph speed limit.

 

Are you getting out of trucking or changing companies?

 

In my company (like many companies), they promote from within. You start at an entry level job and bust your butt and outwork everybody else. Yes, I was overqualified for it and it wasn't a drivers job. But I looked big picture. As soon as a job become available in the drivers department I would move to that department.

It's how the place operates. It's how most union houses work.
