[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 1075295, member: 1944"] I notice people are often jealous of what we make. But we know what it takes to make it. We make no plans, we miss stuff, we are beat on weekends, we deliver in all the weather even when there are heat warnings, cold warnings, blizzard warnings, hurricane warnings, tornado warning, etc. And the people making the same or better, do the same. They go to work when they are sick, tired, or sore. They work all the extra time in a cold lonely cubicle, just like we do in our truck. Or on an oil rig, or a trash truck, or in a ditch. Sometimes they do not realize when the shut off their pc and go home, we are still out there for hours. Not complaining, just saying, we have people in line for our jobs, they are the ptimers who have slugged it to work, at 3am in the morning, for years, waiting for their chance. While surviving working two jobs, or more, with families. You cannot just, for the most part, walk in off the street. One guy in 7 might get that, its rare, and kudos to them. I could not imagine walking into this company with no knowledge, and trying to learn it all at once, now today! So to those that say that, I say go apply. Be on call for a year. work part time for sometimes 10 yrs or more. And then go full time driving. Yes what an easy job you have just driving around all day. I hear that so much. And usually from some person who couldnt climb into my truck one time, less 150 or more a day. We sold the leisure for the money, and if anyone tells me they are jealous, they should be, I made it.
