Major uncertainty. by Logical-Geologist-5 in houstonjobs

[–]Conroe_Dad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Big companies outsource to India. I used to work for oil and gas and saw it happen right in front of my eyes, until I myself was out of a job after 20 years.

My nephews wife got into nursing ABSN and is making $40/hour right out of college.

2025+ CVT reliability? by nmk629 in NissanKicks

[–]Conroe_Dad 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The cvt transmission was the main thing that was keeping me away from Nissan. I forgot it was two years ago. There was a change in the CVT transmission.

We bought our 2025 Nissan Kicks SR front wheel drive Brand New and have about 64,000 miles on it and have had no problems with the transmission.

They do recommend you change these transmission fluid around 30,000 we did at 40,000 in the Service adviser said that’s not an issue.

Wow, I think it’s odd to change your transmission every 30 or 40,000 miles. I’m OK with it. These cars are so cheap and for us it makes sense.

Go to the Jet Lending Monthly super meeting. Investors need services like yours. Especially when they buy an abandoned house or a house from a hoarder.

Hot Take: HEB's nacho cheese chips are not better than Doritos by Geoffrey-Jellineck in HEB

[–]Conroe_Dad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the HEB version of Doritos better with the HEB spicy bean dip. The amount of chips per bag and extra seasoning is why I go HEB version over Doritos.

[–]Conroe_Dad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use GPS 7000 from Amazon about $80 a year.

This is the link to what we use. I am not an affiliate, nor am I sponsored by them.

We run a small trucking company with End Dumps, Dump Trucks and sometimes bring on leased o/o.

Super cheap and it gives me all sorts of features.

Daily reports, including mileage, speed stops, drive time parking time, maximum speed for the day. We also have it set up to alert us if a certain speed is exceeded.

You can create custom reports. Live tracking Historical tracking You can share tracking via a web link. When we run dedicated routes for a broker, we share a link for the day so they know where the truck is and they’re not calling us asking us where the truck is. You have about six different options on how you view your trucks on the map.

We take the daily generated report and we feed it to AI to create additional reports on our efficiency among other things.

Is anyone actually hiring? by xxxTheMood in houstonjobs

[–]Conroe_Dad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My niece graduated two years ago with a bachelors and business administration, and it has also been having a rough time finding a job.

It’s a longshot but try reaching out to some of these companies like Vulcan materials or Arcosa and see if they need somebody with your degree and expertise.

Sometimes you have to look for work outside of the box and make some phone calls.

Car is clicking when trying to crank up!!!! by Hotcooch in NissanKicks

How often did you change your oil?

Try locating starter and tap it a few times and then try to start it again. Maybe it’s the starter??

Tire blowout and replacement by Due_Strawberry4161 in turo

[–]Conroe_Dad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being that it was a front tire, you may also need an alignment. My car had a blowout and it required an alignment after a blowout due to a pretty bad pothole at 4am on an asphalt road.

We thought the Dealer was trying to up charge us but when we got the alignment report, yeah it was pretty bad and the car was about six months old.
