Nope, 90% Oklahoma/Texas regional. Employer has warehouses in other regions that I occasionally make a long trip to, but I'm home every weekend. Loads are generally round trip leaving my home distribution center and returning there, and I live 20 minutes away so I go home between loads. It's not predictable or consistent but I'm home quite a bit.

You can thank Obama for that shit. Because of HIPAA, there are tons of paperwork and pencil pushing jobs (i.e. make work bullshit) if you're even mildly talented with a compiter. Hospitals/insurance companies don't want to update their tech so everything goes through faxes unless it's internal email shit.

Work mostly midnight shift, supervisor plays day z all night. Make 20.87 a hour but get 16 hours or so of overtime a week. Maybe 60k a year. Take home after taxes and benis about 2k or a little less every two weeks. It ant much but it's a honest living.

I'm just going to warn you ALL of the megacarriers (swift werner schneider cr england us xpress etc) are dogshit and will lie and tell you anything, literally anything to get you into their system. There is a reason all those companies have such a high turnover, once you've learned enough to understand how they're taking advantage of you, you bail out and get a job at somewhere more respectable. I also highly discourage going through their own CDL school, they'll train you in and have you test in an automatic which causes you to have an automatic-only restriction on your license. Imo this should be fucking illegal because only the megacarriers will hire someone with that restriction which makes it almost impossible to ever land a genuinely decent job driving.

I didn't like it at first since I started out with a job unloading trucks which sucked. Now I actually work on the floor stocking/verifying inventory numbers and it's pretty comfy.

I actually have a bachelor's degree in geology but I slacked off in school too much. The only jobs I have a realistic chance of landing are environmental consulting or mudlogging which would be the same pay but you are forced to work 60-72 hours a week.

No crypto has no use for any of my customers, though there is opportunity. The cost of implementation is far too high and resources are extremely sparse. Could unironically make lots of money setting up a crypto consulting business with a managed support service. Again, issue is finding resources.

It's a bank how do you have down time? Is it rural? I know the banks I've been too may go slow at times but it's the kinda slow where you just don't feel rushed and can take your time with each customer before the next one in a line of 2 comes up. Just as the one you helped exits another comes in, perpetually 2 people rather than it going 10, 15, 20 after only helping 3 people

>>49798849
What kinda trucking. What you said doesn't add up. That kinda pay is usually long haul truckers working solo with the downtime only being when you stop to sleep and rest usually. May have the wrong impression on how much it pays as it's been years since I've had info on the field.

Brothers, "long haul" or in the industry they're called OTR drivers are pretty much the lowest paid among company drivers. A company driver is employed by a carrier and operates a company truck for compensation. An owner operator usually shorthanded as O/O, sometimes referred to as contractors, earn much higher but also have to deal with operating expenses of the truck. The only OTR drivers pulling 100k+ are O/O. As for company drivers, the more specialized your industry, the higher the wages. My company specifically deals in the food industry, most of our customers are restaurant suppliers or wholesalers. Most of the time, I leave my company's warehouse with a trailer full of shit the customer ordered from us, although my company still owns that freight until the customer signs the paperwork accepting it. Once the trailer is empty I stop at a plant and grab some foodstuffs we have ordered to restock in our warehouse and bring it back. We don't fuck with the regular freight market like most trucking operations, so my experience isn't necessarily with the traditional trucking industry. I was an OTR driver for about 6 months when I first started and it was ass, absolutely not worth the stress and headache for the peanuts I was earning.

I forgot to add, local LTL "less-than-(truck)load" is probably the highest paid gig you can get as a company driver. They work in major metro areas and spend all day driving around picking up or delivering a few pallets at a time as customers need. What I've seen of it, it's a very stressful and busy job, but those guys no joke are earning 100k+ and they're generally home every night. But they leave home at 3am and get home at 5pm to take a shower and go straight to bed.

How much does which pay at entry? Starting OTR as a company driver most are advertising around $45k first year. If you go into flatbed work you'll probably make around 50-55 first year, flatbed rates are higher (and it's more work) than dry van. My brother in law started zero experience with a company that delivers fuel to gas stations, they gave him a contract that he'd do his first "training year" for 48k flat, then gauranteed wages that would make 70k his 2nd year. Which really surprised me. Everywhere that employs drivers are generally always short handed and looking to hire, the best thing to do before you sign up with a megacarrier is figure out what operations are near you that employs class A drivers and just call them and inquire about what they're requiring if drivers and if they're willing to hire and train new drivers. You might find something amazing instead of cutting your teeth on the bottom tier dogshit of the industry like most of us did.

for my company specifically, they hire no experience drivers but keep them with a trainer for like 6-8 weeks until the trainer and student are both confident about letting them go solo. While they're with the trainer they make $750 week flat pay, and after they finish with the trainer they're considered part time which just means no forced dispatch so you can turn a load down if you don't want it, but when work runs short because food industry has seasonal highs and lows, you'll be skipped for work. After a few weeks if you're still working out they give a full time offer and if you accept it they gaurantee at least 60k your first year as long as you don't take unnecessary time off. The pay scale also advances quite quickly. I went 67k to 74k to 79k to looking like I'll finish this year around 82-83k

I'm thinking now that I'm a Lead, I bank like a year or two at this company and then hopefully double my salary after that by switching companies, just because I don't think this company would ever be able to give me that kind of raise, even though I do like them, and they do treat you like a human being, which is valuable. What do you think bros?

I'm sure that eventually the work answering emails and compiling paperwork will become a slog. But after being a paint'n'drywall-monkey for my entire working life up to this point, seeing the other side of things (assigning vendors to WO's, instead of fulfilling them myself) is fascinating, and I don't have to get covered in construction-debris to make my buck.

forgot to say -
Reviewing apartment applications has convinced me that I should have gone into finance and become a consultant
And reviewing maintenance-invoices has convinced me that I should have been a plumber.

I decided long ago I didn't want to do either, but... There's so fucking much money being made by everyone in this industry, not including myself... But in the long-run, it's just cool now being exposed to all the numbers involved. I could have made a-lot-a-lot-a-lot-a-lot more money painting if I had been doing it for myself with an employee or two, rather than doing it in-house-full-time for someone else and just picking up side-jobs. Younger men than me have been exposed to the same wealth of information, but not all that many of them. I'm convinced, now, by my exposure to this industry, that "The American Dream" works and it isn't all that difficult to build a profitable business in the American Circle-of-Life framework.

Your boss is going to be the only one making a real living at the company. My best advice would be to start your own business after a few years.

The proverb "become famous, then go to sleep" applies 100% here. Don't worry too much about money, but making your clients happy. The amount of people that will recommend you is insane and you will decline jobs all the time after a while.

One of my friends is a dog walker who makes literally insane amounts of money because he does this little details like posting pictures of the walks to the owners, small things like that. He started charging lets say 3 dollars each dog each day, now he charges 15 dollars and people still go to him.

He has a dog daycare in his own house and during holidays after he opens the vacancies, he is full in 2-3 hours.

All because he became popular.

I also have some minor ambitions to show my photography at galleries. I'm a minted autistic retard that does a certain type of photography with enough overlapping extreme technical niches that afaict I am the only one doing it.

He was 63. Relatively rare blood cancer. Didn't even know he was dying. Had a heart attack the same day he got the diagnosis and they couldn't bring him back.

You have 2 sides in residential: service technician or installer. as a service tech the moment you walk up to a customer's house, their problem is now your problem. You need to figure out and solve whatever is causing their equipment to malfunction. Installation work involves a lot more labor . Sometimes it's more straightforward but depending on a lot of factors it can be just as fucked up.

Commercial work is a lot more compartmentalized, from draftsman, to shop fabricators, to field installers. I've actually had some near-death experiences in the field but the pay is good lol

That is sad. 63 is barely entering old age. Retirement at that age just blows, there are too many things that a person can likely have at that point that can wreck them for their earned retirement. At least he didn't have to suffer any of the complications the cancer could've given him. Hope you feel better.

He had only been retired for 2.5 years. He worked an extra five to get a bit more money to be safe for retirement (my mom never worked) and to allow himself a dog (who now misses him and looks for him every day). He loved that dog so much. I had never seen him so happy.

Euro poors always cope about healthcare. My insurance is 60/ month and after 3000$ everything is 100% free after that. One of my family members had similar insurance and got cancer. 680k is medical bills but only needed to pay around 6000 total. The rest was covered.

Hahaha no residential is pretty safe. Flip the breaker off, and pull the disconnect and you're good to go. Commercial work is a different ball game.

My father shaved off 2 finger tips in a shop while fixing a jammed coil line (10,000 lb roll of steel goes in and 5 ft sections of duct come out). He got them stitched back on. I have welded inside of heavily used grease duct. Grease + heat + low oxygen environment= enormous fire and death hazard. High winds causing lage rooftop equipment to spin like a blender above us (took 4 grown men jumping on the tag line to stop it). Helicopter picks instead of crane picks because of large mall roof layouts.

Literally everything can go wrong on a chopper pick. Super fucking cool though.

I'm not a wagie...yet.
I'm a NEET right now, not entirely by choice. It's comfy not having to do anything but the type of budget I have to live on isn't the best.
Currently trying to break into some admin/IT type work but I have no references (unironically probably the worst part about being a NEET that wants a job is when you have no references except family and friends).

My dad has terminal colon cancer, he's only going to live another 3-5 years. I know he worries about me because of my not having a career so I really want to have something solid before he dies.
I don't want him going while still worried about if I'm going to be okay. I don't want him to never know if I'll get my shit together.

I have been working in IT for 6 years, a bachelors (not necessarily in CS/IT) is required, certifications obviously matter and make you stand out but being a graduate is a must, infact that's how they hire, college degree is a basic filter, then they look for experience and certifications (from the big 3), at least in the Data field.

>Is the lower government wages worth it
Personally: I'd say "yes". I worked in private sector for about 3-4 years before transitioning to public and the bullshit of public is MUCH easier to deal with than the bullshit of public. Granted it's down to your own personal goals and such, but people call it "The Golden Handcuffs" for a reason.
>Is it true that gov IT has fuckton of bureaucracy
Yeah, that is the downside and something I miss from private. When there's something that needs improving, back in private I could just tell my boss to do it and he would within a few days. Public...Not so much
>more incompetent people then the private sector?
In my experience (Anecdotal) I'd say no. Our tech teams are all pretty en pointe, with the exception being some of the supervisors and unit heads, but 9 times out of 10 the grunt techs and senior techs are some of the most impressive I've come across.

It's more required on the programming side, for the operations side theirs many places willing to hire some grunt for helpdesk with minimum wage.

Sounds pretty good.. If I can find a full WFH government job that pays decently, I'll jump ship one day

I'd say go for it. A lot of people are intimidated by gov positions so they don't even bother trying to apply. I didn't even have a contact at the org I was at. Just threw my application at an online posting and got in. Though some places require a lot of hoops to jump through. Some possible things are:
>Extensive background check
>Drug testing
>Polygraph
>Security interviews
>Psychological interviews
But the more extreme ones depend on your level of clearance required.

Job is almost always low stress easy and mostly comfy, and 60% remote. But I know the money is shit and I can do better elsewhere. When I started I was living super comfy but now with inflation and a kid on the way I really feel like I need to make more money. If I can't negotiate a 7% raise this summerI'll have to leave.

>What do you do?
USAF Pilot

>How much do you earn?
Just shy of 100k. My rank is O-3. I also get free (albeit shitty) healthcare and dental.

>How long have you been working there?
Going on 7 years now active duty

>Do you enjoy it?
There's parts I love, parts I hate. I love flying, and I love being able to play with the latest and greatest of bad ass tech and intense aviation. I hate most of the people I work with. There's a plethora of backstabbing sociopaths or room temperature IQs with power in my community. I'm tired of dumb fucking military requirements that don't matter (OPRs, EPRs, CBTs), and I absolutely despise globohomo, which is becoming extremely prevalent in our military. However, I have the option to do 13 more years, and retire in my early 40s with a guaranteed pension. There's not much else out there that allows you to do that.
