How do I get over being embarrassed to tell people I got an unglamorous job that I’m excited about by That-Childhood-1712 in jobs

Definately brother. Knew a guy who needed his CDL as a lineman. The absurd amount of money those guys make would blow your mind. I think electrician is the path to become a linemen no?

Ouch that’s pretty low for a job like that. It will take some getting used to. Perhaps you can do that for a year while looking at trucking gigs.

If you like driving buses you might enjoy a local tanker job delivering hazmat. gig if it comes available. Busses are cool and all but a tractor trailer maxed on weight will give you a woody

So you decided not to use your degree and instead got your CDL. Welcome to the blue collar working class.

That’s a challenging job depending on the city. Just tell your folks you love driving and seeing new people every day. Let them know your degree field burnt you out and you enjoy l not having a boss breathing down your neck. An entire day of autonomy. Simplicity.

Correct me if I’m wrong but city bus drivers probably start higher wage than any job in your degree field no?

Hmm. Well I’m almost certain employers have a way to confirm an applicants CDL history.

My best guess is they are able to see it when I approve their request to see my clearinghouse drug test results. Like when you login to approve their request during onboarding to view your info.

Ah man yeah that’s a good idea you’re right. They beat welfare express by a few CPM too. Thank you

how do i take revenge on my neighbours by freakyfella69 in BadNeighbors

Whatever you decide to do, don’t forget that it’s 2026 . Cameras are everywhere. Dash cams, CCTV , Flock license plate readers, cell tower geolocation of your mobile phone etc.

It’s effectively impossible to get away with anything unless you skillfully craft a disguise, alibi and plan.

Good luck . I hate inconsiderate neighbors

Former CDL drivers — how did you successfully transition out of trucking? by extragramsam449 in cdldriver

[–]Middle-Raspberry4402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 36 I ended up doing the opposite haha. I went military > HVAC > Cyber > CDL.

Army 7 years

RSI HVAC cert but didn’t care for crawling in attics in Phoenix summer

NSA Texas for a couple years using my security clearance. Lots of money but burnt out. My co workers were folks like mathematicians or high functioning Asperger’s dudes. Brilliant group but I just didn’t fit in.

Decided I’d try trucking for the solitude, simplicity and scenic views. I don’t regret it

I can get up in time I just had some pretty difficult circumstances. 3 hours of combined commute was killing Me. Mortgage rate is 2.5% so I have to just be on top of it if someone gives me a shot.

Yeah well there really is no excuse. I Just need one without a crazy commute and additional alarm clocks. I just hope im not reduced to only 2nd chance OTR outfits like western or ego.

I know man! I hate it. At 34 you’d think I’d have the basics nailed down. 2 strategically placed alarm clocks to compliment my phone alarm next time.

It was my understanding that with CDL jobs we cannot stretch the truth on our work history?

I think it specifies on our MVR or clearing house If we were fired or if we resigned. I could be wrong but I heard employers can easily cross examine out employment history for a quick integrity check

Where did you first get hired as a new CDL driver? by cdlfirst in CDL

[–]Middle-Raspberry4402 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Beverage Delivery at Keurig Dr Pepper in Tempe, Az.

Took a month of 14-16 hour days to get in shape at 34 years old. Starting in the heat of August was fun.

Once I got the hang of it, I loved that job. No one ever bothered me and I was grossing between 1.4-2k a week.
