    There is a place here in Winnipeg that does a "no scalpel, no needle vasectomy in as little as 10 minutes". I think the techniques have improved a little, lol.

    It’s based on GVW, you can only get a dually in a 1 ton.

    A few yeah, but they are bottom basement on the inside. Owner is very tight pocketed and only thinks about his bottom line. Not that that's not important, but we are having issues with driver retention and they can't seem to figure out what drivers want (if they asked my opinion and several others, it would be more money and nicer equipment).

    If I didn't have a gravy run right now, I'd likely be in the market for a new direction in the industry. Gotta get the down payment on the house before I do anything drastic.

    I'm thinking liquids. I have the drive for that kind of challenge (if I'm not constantly challenged by work I get bored), and the intelligence to handle the extras that come with hazmat regulations and safety.

    Start hauling chemicals. It’ll be the most challenging thing you’ve ever done if you are tasked with loading and unloading and washing out and have to pull multiple trailers a week and also knowing which chemicals can go in a stainless tank and which go in a lined tank.

    If I ever leave SPD it will be in search of “nicer equipment” as far as company standards go...

    That and co-workers who give a #### about doing a pre-trip but I don’t think I’ll find that until I go o/o... pitiful some of the smucks working here.


    Do you work for Chemical Transport outta Portland?

    Saw a few Pete’s if there’s when I was down at Gee Cees...

    Now that looks like she is doing a great job and shall be a great dinner. I do a very simple red sauce heavy on a tasteful red wine that everyone asks how to make it. Except the time my father inlaw sat here and told his italian wife that my meat balls were better than her mothers! The inlaw thing I drink heavily and get along fine when mine come over.
