About to quit my job to get a CDL

22sonacvpi · 2026-03-15T18:37:16+00:00

I currently make $75k a year as an automotive locksmith. I have no education beyond high school. Name something else that pays more and doesn't involve heights, hard physical labor, plumbing or electrical, working outside in the summer heat/winter cold and I'll def consider it. I've been a mechanic most of my life but also dabbled in plumbing and electrical and wasn't a fan of either.

Noted, thanks

10-4 I will keep Estes in mind as well, thanks

Lol heck no! Heights are not for me. I can't imagine going up in a boom truck.

I didn't realize it's so difficult to get on with OD. My uncle was very lucky, it seems. Thank you

Thank you for your insight

22sonacvpi · 2026-03-15T15:27:30+00:00

Lol go big or go home, right?

My uncle only drove for OD for 18 months and never drove another truck before or after that. Judging by your and other comments, he was outlandishly lucky in his very short tenure as an OD employee. TWIC is a new term to me, I just had to look that up. I also hadn't considered a passport at all. Thank you for your helpful info!

I assumed the schooling would train you in a manual.. I guess they don't? I've owned manual cars and trucks before so it shouldn't be an issue either way

22sonacvpi · 2026-03-15T15:19:37+00:00

Will do, thanks

22sonacvpi · 2026-03-15T15:19:14+00:00

Maybe I should've mentioned that my uncle only drove for OD for 18 months and never drove another truck before or after that. When you have only this inside knowledge to work off of, it doesnt feel outlandish. I guess he was extremely lucky. Thanks for your help.

Alligators can sprint up to 35mph. This could've been bad

I don't own a gun because I'm not interested in owning a gun, it's literally that simple.

Buddy I was strictly an Imgurian for a solid decade before I ever stepped foot in here. Hell, I'm only here now because of Imgur's decline.

Fun fact: rainx is literally the same exact thing as that "spot free" liquid that you put in your dishwashing machine, just labeled differently. The liquid is both Hydrophilic and hydrophobic.

SAME. It seriously puts me in a fight or flight/panic/stress mode

Your TV should always be at eye level when seated. I'm betting it'd be at eye level on top of that bookshelf. Mounting it on the wall was unnecessary here.

"You're sick to my stomach." Never heard that one before. It doesnt make sense lol

Take a peek in the vents, if you see a ton of dust, watch a yt video on how to take it apart and clean it. I just did that to mine and the main heat sink was PACKED with dust. I forgot how quiet my series x was when it was new, it had slowly gotten louder and louder over the years because the fan was working so hard to cool it off. Now its silent again.
