What did you do before trucking?

What did I do before trucking? I was 6 so I was in the first grade

 

14 years oil and gas construction/directional drilling, worked 10 years in the field to put myself thru University. Moved into the Office as an Operations/Project Manager, thought I had it made. Then 2014 happened, company went under, got laid off 3-4 times, ended up working Construction as an Electrician and got laid off from that also. Dad drove in the 70's and 80's, so I had always been around it. Decided to go for it after the 4th layoff, now I run OTR Reefer.

 

I said 'escort' already !!! You guys should have spent your time as 'researchers' ..... lol

 

oh

 

farm work from 13 (dad stopped my pocket money ) left school at 16 farmworker .then on a forwarder in a forest(farm sold) at 18yrs old the next -40yrs behind the wheel.

 

Forest fire fighter, trapper, carpenter. Then I left home and came to Alberta, previous skill set useless here in the big city.
Gas jockey/cashier, warehousing, landscaping/stone cutter. at 23 years acquired my class 1 and haven't looked back.
Porn-star was on my list, but no call backs on applications forced me to drive for a living.

 

Retail. Fitness equipment for almost 10 years and then autoglass for 3. Prior to all that I was a mutual funds administrator.

 

I was in high school working for my dad or whoever needed an extra operator on weekends. Bought my first truck right before graduation. A week or two later i was running loads. The next four years if i want in class i was hauling something. Certainly paid better than any other part time college job. Somewhere along the way i got disillusioned with the goal of getting a real job after school and just kept trucking.
