that would kinda suck. I donno when i turn 23 i'll start calling around and see what they have availible and what they have to offer. If the money and benefits are good i might just do it anyway. Im trying to find a way to balance work/life, i work to live, NOT live to work.

IMO from reading your threads, I think you'd be a perfect fit for a small to midsize construction company. Hauling equipment etc. I think you'd like the challenge of it, learning how to operate different pieces of equipment, different jobsites all the time. Daytime hours, generally weekends off, for the most part. Smaller family atmosphere.
Construction is starting to pick back up around here so there should be some opportunities. -

I've heard some US mail hauling jobs are cake and pay relatively well.
-
this is true, when i went to truck driving school when i was 18 one of the part time instructors was a O/O pulling US mail and his boss (the head guy) came in to talk to him and he saw me backing on the yard and offered me a job....until i told him i was 18 lol. But since then i've losst contact with the guy and dont know how to find out about open jobs. I think the pay started at $20/hr and home every night

$23.68 per hour, no benefits.

The pay and benefits varies from contractor to contractor. From what I can gather most are $20-25/hr jobs although some pay by the load. I've thought about it but the major contractor in Portland (Lanier Brugh) requires 2 years experience and I don't even have that yet. There's probably multiple contractors that work the same hub though I would assume.

Just for giggles, call some of these companies, No not the ones that will hire anyone, but the good ones worth working for and ask if switching alot of jobs is a problem? when u do get to 10 years driving ( i see that u only at 4) and u apply for a job, and u have to ask for 4 sheets to fit your employment record, your gonna wish u had more sence to listen to Some of theses drivers. 1 more thing. I read where u laughed at the man from swift when he came looking for a job where u work. Who the hell are u to laugh at anyone. You didn't know the mans situation. Maybe he was trying to get something local to take care of a sick family member. Who knows? pull ur head out of your #####, take some of these guys HELPFUL advise and if the man returns looking for work, tell him only a dumb ##### would work for this company.
