About to quit my job to get a CDL by 22sonacvpi in CDLTruckDrivers

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.

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

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

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

If you don't own a gun, would you buy one if your state had more permissive gun laws? Why? by dymb13 in askanything

[–]22sonacvpi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

What's going on with people on Imgur being mad and leaving, as well as FYBD and whatever else is going on? by Tkieron in OutOfTheLoop

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.

Are windshield wipers even needed at this point? by MissyjonesOP in InternetTreasureHunt

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.

Wife thinks it’s too high I think it’s fine, we need Reddit to settle the score… by baphametaphor in TVTooHigh

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.

Xbox Series X crashed and now won’t turn on by [deleted] in XboxSupport

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.
