I was wondering....

When I was in highschool I started working as a yard jockey, shunting trailers and loading (hand bombing) trucks and since I grew up around trucks and on a farm I already knew how to back up, I had been riding in them ever since I was a baby I just always knew I would be doing this for a living, as soon as I was old enough I got my licence to drive trucks and have been doing it ever since, never even went to a driving school.

 

Both of us grew up in the industry. But before he drove, he was foreman for a landscape company that only did commercial properties. Me, I worked in retail until my other half got me in the office at a freight fowarder. Since then I have been in dispatch, planning, warehousing, etc for a variety of companies over the years. For the last 7 we have had our own company.

 

I ran a halfway house for girls who wouldn't go all the way.

 

master nissan mechanic for 19 years then worked for hyundai and dabbled in gm for the past 5 years...gosh i really hate car dealers,lol...

 

Is there any oil still in your blood?
If so, does it mix well with Big truck truckin'?

 

I went to college for two years and wasn't learning anything new. Worked as a fuel jockey back when there wasn't "self-serv". Did every job at a car wash. Started hauling US Mail through a contract holder. Did that for 9 years then started OTR and haven't looked back since!

 

I was doing hair and working customer service at dish network

 

2 years as a biology/chemistry lab tech, 26 as a truck driver, now a year as an administrative assistant.

but if harry winston calls and needs a diamond courier, i'm there!

 

retired from marine corps, stayed home for 6 months, worked for security comapny. decided i didnt like my wife all that much, and OTR driving was best way to stay away from home w/o re upping. finally got a divorce, but still drove, finally health issuses put me in an office, so i broker and dispatch now

 

hey SFS i wasnt in the marines but can relate to the (now ex) wife part... im with ya on that...
