what type of job did you do before entering the transport industry

Worked for car dealers, than Harley dealers. Started towing cars till I decided to get CDL.

Wow are you a truck driver now? How do you like the pay cut?

 

Heavy equipment operator. I started at the bottom at a crusher plant and worked my way up to crusher operator then, went to a utility operator at a landfill. Fairly easy for an equipment operator, never had to make a specific grade, just did everything by eyeball. I wanted to get into excavating foundations as there was demand for equipment operators with a CDL that could transport the excavator from one site to another, residential. I decided to go the OTR CDL mill route and to be honest, it isn't all that bad in relation to the amount of work required and I'm glad I get to roam around so much. Money is decent but money isn't everything to me.

 

Be careful.. When they raid a whorehouse they take the piano player too.

 

plenty of drivers that find their "groove" or nitche make a pretty nice living.

I dispatched for about 18 yrs. but had my cdl in my pocket. Drove a HD Wrecker for about 2 yrs before relocating and driving open deck freight in TX

 

Plumber for 30 years, self employed last 16. Now instead of chasing my money I chase the wind. Pay isn't as good but I am much happier and work a lot less.

 

LOL hence the name.
