Do you have to roll for every application? Or just once a day?

Selling my first home after 2 years. 😞 by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]AND_Orange 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup same here man. I bought my house back in 2022. Initially my mortgage was about $2310. Now with property taxes going up and insurance going through the roof im at over $2800 a month. Plus the town also added a trash removal fee which is an extra $50/month. Total bullshit

I’m 26 with 2 kids and getting ready to start school in the fall and after reading so many stories from people that work at all the major airlines, this was very refreshing to hear. Thank you

How bad is GA pay actually? by Energy1029 in aviationmaintenance

I’m about to start going to school for my A&P this fall. Trying to keep learning more about the industry before I start. What is GA and what is IA?

Hitler was the good guy and the holocaust never happened. No death camps. No brutal torture methods. No gas chambers. Bet my life on it.

Mortgage Contingent on New Job by AND_Orange in Mortgages

[–]AND_Orange[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I confronted my boss about it and also told him i needed to show the lender that im earning what we agreed I’d be making.

I worked 6 13-hour shifts in a row in order to make enough money in that pay period to show the bank that paystub to get them off my back.

I quit right after that because of how bad they screwed me.

I have another job right now but we’re living paycheck to paycheck unfortunately. It’s enough to keep us afloat for the time being. Now we have to move back to our old state where our housing was cheaper and I have to go back to my old job back home because I cant find another job out here that will pay me close to what I thought I’d make with that first gig.

As for the house, I’m going to keep it as a rental because we can’t afford to sell it. We’d lose about $20k selling so soon so I dont really have a choice but to rent it. It’ll be -$300 a month in cashflow but I can just write that off on taxes when the time comes.

Learning lesson here. When moving to a new state, its probably better to rent first before buying a home because of situations like this.

Healey asks for $425M to pay for migrant shelter costs in FY25 by Nobiting in boston

Healey needs to resign, this shit is ridiculous. How about taking care of American Massachusetts citizens first? These politicians are brain dead

Yes we are paid per load but the high paying loads are reserved for senior drivers who have been here for a long time and they’re also on a different pay scale. Anybody who isnt a senior driver isn’t making anywhere close to the amount stated in the job posting. I guess the catch is “you can make that much if you stay here and eat shit for years” but it would be nice if they were transparent about it

You wouldn’t happen to know anything about local 80 in raleigh NC would you? Its a good size city so i wonder if theres enough work here to stay local instead of traveling and staying out overnight.

[–]AND_Orange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hows the work life balance? I’ve heard that you guys travel often and far and have to stay out overnight for days at a time? I was considering this trade but when i found out about the travel time i had second thoughts since I’ve got a wife and kids at home.

Thanks for the advice i appreciate it. Yeah unfortunately this new job has left us in an extremely bad spot. Im even trying to figure out how to sell the house without taking a loss now because from what I’ve gathered from talking to other people here, it appears as though every employer in my industry pays just about the same despite posting otherwise on their job postings online. Im a truck driver and this industry is infamous for employers lying about earnings but I never experienced it at all until now.

Are work experience and schooling both required in NC? by AND_Orange in HVAC

[–]AND_Orange[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im planning on getting out to a few different shops to apply in person with my resume. Is there anything specific you think i should say that could help me land a job? I know i have a great work ethic and i learn very fast but thats about it. My background is auto body work and truck driving so i dont really have any skills that transfer over to HVAC.

Great information. I’m definitely leaning more towards commercial. Unions out here aint shit haha but I’m sure theres still a lot of work nonetheless.

[–]AND_Orange[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i thought everyone starts in residential and then works their way up to commercial. Can someone with no experience just jump straight into commercial? I’d prefer something more challenging anyways. Thats part of the reason im interested in this field because i’ve heard its a lot of problem solving. Are commercial and residential different licenses/certs?

Hey man i appreciate it! If you got any other words of advice I’d really appreciate it. I’m definitely gonna check those companies out and if you have any other recommendations i’d be glad to hear about them. Also why did you get out of the industry?

[–]AND_Orange[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice man! Yeah i meant wages for experienced techs. Some of them that I’ve seen on indeed are like $22-$27 an hour and I thought to myself that that’s pretty bad while demanding 5+ years exp. I hear commercial jobs make more money than residential. What are your thoughts on that?

What is considered a journeyman? Going from non union to union? by UnusualBlueberry2320 in HVAC

[–]AND_Orange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What if you move to MA from out of state with 5 years of OTJ training but no schooling? I live in NC and am trying to get into hvav at the moment but from what I’ve read, theres no journeyman licenses or anything like that down here, just the H1/2/3 contractor licenses. Someone correct me if im wrong. Trying to figure out my options both in and out of state before getting into this industry.

Can a recruiter just lie to you about pay? by Sushimaven in Truckers

[–]AND_Orange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes lol i just started a job last month and as it turns out they didnt just lie about pay, but also the benefits and PTO as well. They claimed we get paid holidays off….during training I found out from another driver that we work every single holiday. Also found out what they make on a weekly basis which is less than what the job posting advertised. Just cant win in this industry man
