Now I'm confused because I read "deadly crashes" to mean "2+2 posts".

I assume that your boss basically DGAF about you as long as you deliver your **** on time, follow company and client procedures, and don't cheat on hours. Must be a pleasant work environment.

Business is great and I don't have anyone telling me what to do. They just expect us to pick up and deliver on time. It only took a few days of interneting to find these guys and I wish I'd done it sooner.

Ever considered driving mining trucks? I don't know what your pay is like but I make pretty decent money doing that plus I get a lot of time off. Also it's super easy and you don't have to deal with traffic. It's pretty cool getting paid to drive one of these monsters

My uncle drives one of those and invited me up to his job site to check it out. I'm living in my truck right now to save money but I'm considering something like that when I buy a house. Can I ask what the pay is like?

$65K a year starting base pay at the mine I'm at. Plus bonuses and geo pay puts it around 70-75 depending on how good the bonuses are. Also tons of overtime available if you want it. I only work half of every month.

Awesome, thanks. How extensive is your training before they let you drive one of those things?

I would think seeing the country would be better then seeing the same pile of dirt every day.

I'll stay over the road for another five years at least. I'm either gonna buy a house, take a year or two off and go back to work or keep driving and try renting out property or just keep driving and saving until whenever.

Someone gave me this as a present one time. It was pretty fun. I don't remember what it was for, but my brothers did it too at the same time.

You pay to play with construction equipment.
