Anyone here looking for a job?
Or a new career?
I know of several different opportunities that pay decent money and seem to have some openings. 1. Marine Air Conditioning and Refrigeration service people (on topic). My guy is in his early 70s and has more work than he can handle. The work is difficult and requires a fair degree of skill. He's had no success at all trying to hire and train assistants. Most of them have just not been up to the task for one reason or another. He charges $85/hour including travel time to and fro - all top line profit since he works for himself and has his shop at home. 2. Long Haul Truck Driver. On our recent road trip back to the north east, a high percentage of the trucks we passed had help wanted signs, some willing to hire and train beginners. Admittedly this is not a job for everyone but experienced drivers can make over $50K/year and seem to have a lot of options regarding where they work. Much better than working at McDonalds or Walmart in my opinion. |

Do you seriously not understand the difference in dollars, buying prepared food on the road, or cooking your own at home? When we go racing, we easily save $50 bucks a day by brown bagging compared to other teams... It's a lot different working and living on the road and trying to eat well, than it is stuffing in carbs on vacation or on a long weekend... |

You do not go out to the 3 star eateries. Traveling for business and driving a long-haul truck on the interstates doesn't mean you eat at the same places. The truck drivers are pretty much limited to eating at truck stops, where their rigs can be parked, fueled, accommodated. Some truck stops offer a wide variety of food and some have that food at decent prices but even so, eating three hots a day while driving a big rig isn't inexpensive. If you are driving your car, you can easily get off the interstate and find the kind of place you'd prefer to eat that will accommodate you and your car. On the interstates around here, "Cracker Barrel" restaurants seem very popular at all three meal times, but you rarely see the big truck rigs in their parking lots because those lots are not built to handle those sorts of vehicles. A decent meal at Cracker Barrel runs $10-$12, easily. A similar meal at a truck stop likely is more expensive. |

Mikek Mikek I think your guess about the number of conservatives who oppose birth control is way too low. Oh, and I don't know anyone who *likes* abortion. The ability to obtain a safe abortion, however, is a necessity, something the overwhelming majority of those on your side of the fence do not believe. It's hard to control women if they have control over their bodies, eh? |

Pay their medical bills, pay their rent, food stamps and welfare payments to eat from. |

Traveling for business and driving a long-haul truck on the interstates doesn't mean you eat at the same places.

Some truck stops offer a wide variety of food and some have that food at decent prices but even so, eating three hots a day while driving a big rig isn't inexpensive. If you are driving your car, you can easily get off the interstate and find the kind of place you'd prefer to eat that will accommodate you and your car. On the interstates around here, "Cracker Barrel" restaurants seem very popular at all three meal times, but you rarely see the big truck rigs in their parking lots because those lots are not built to handle those sorts of vehicles. A decent meal at Cracker Barrel runs $10-$12, easily. A similar meal at a truck stop likely is more expensive. Cite. LOL, I probably travel more than you. And over the years traveled a lot for business. Business travel included an expense account, but I still did not overspend for meals. I am well to do, and still eat at diners and truck stops. Driving a crew cab pickup and towing 25' of trailer, makes parking a chore. I still get out for $20 for two of us most the time. Seems as if there are a lot of truckers on the road, surviving well on their pay. But more are needed. But seems as if a lot of people figure society will take care of them. Pay their medical bills, pay their rent, food stamps and welfare payments to eat from. Two people, twenty bucks, three times a day does not work for a working slob who doesn't have an expense account and won't be home in his warm bed on Thursday night.... The point is, you spend ten dollars a meal when you are on the road all the time, and it's much more expensive than eating at home cooking your own meals... Why is that so difficult for you to understand? 60 dollars a day is what your *expense account* spent, instead of 15-18 or so when we brown bag it and we eat better than anybody at the track.... Go to subway, get a $5 12" and add a drink or combo. Way less than $10. Fact is wife and I split a 12" and get 2 combos and we are still out there for about $10 for 2. We are discussing truck drivers. Figure rack person separate. They are paid separately. And they probably net $50k after road expenses. http://w3.primeinc.com/driver-benefits for PRIME. |

I do not eat 3000 calories a day now. Have not had an expense account for 11 years. We travel lot. Both to SoCal to the kids, or boating ( we do cook in the camper ) and lots of other travel. Ido not have to live on $60 a day, but probably do not spend that much a day on average. Lots of truckers out there, and they seem to make a decent living. So their $50k reduces to $40k with expenses. How much do you net? They have medical insurance. You? Lots of people living on 99 weeks of unemployment, saying they can not get a job. How many truck driver position open? A lot of lazy takers out there. |

And they probably net $50k after road expenses. http://w3.primeinc.com/driver-benefits for PRIME. When you read down, that is a tough job. They expect a 2 man team to drive almost 17,000 miles a month. I am not sure how many hours you actually have to be driving to do that but two 40 hour a week drivers only have 336 hours. That means they have to average about 50 MPH and everything else is overtime. That is why they want contractors who do not get overtime (self employed) I am guessing they push the "10 hour" rule to the limits and beyond. Like Red Sovine says" I'm talking little white pills and my eyes are open wide". I was a teamster (local 639 Harry) just long enough to know I didn't want to do that for a living. I was a teamster for two summers, the one before I left for college and the one after I finished my freshman year. The next summer, I got a union job as a welder's apprentice at a boiler factory. My dad had a lot of friends in the trades, and he was able to make a few phone calls and get me a spot for the summer. I was delighted to have these jobs, because they paid a lot more than the crappy minimum wage summer jobs any of my friends had and, actually, they were kind of fun, albeit backbreaking. The summer after my junior year, I was hired by the newspaper for a full-time job as a reporter, and worked five evenings a week while completing my senior year. The newsroom workers at that time were not organized, but typesetters and printers sure were. All of the typesetters were grads of schools for the deaf, and were terrific at operating the banks of linotype machines. Truck driving, not my summer union grunt job. Try to keep up. |

You don't need to heat them up you just need to open the package and eat them. Almost all the bigger truck stops, Flying J, Loves, TransAmerica, etc., have very reasonable restaurants therein. We stop at them very often when traveling. I've never had bad food, and the prices are usually in the $10 range. Most of them also allow RV parking in the front parking lot. We've found them quiet, flat, and handy. Of course, there are no hook ups, but the toilets are decent and, for a small fee, one can rent a very nice shower room with lots of towels. -- John H. Hope you're having a great day! |
