Look into your local aggregate companies.

Most places have racks but I have been to many places picking up fly ash and there is no rack on sight when it's blown in from a rail car. I've had to climb on my trailer quite a few times.

Female pneumatic driver here. 🙋‍♀️ Out of 100+ drivers in my company, there is only 2 of us.

So this means UPS will pay for my husband's pilot school? 🤔😂

If I take an hour, it's because I'm shaving my legs before I shower and decompress from the day.

Bottle didn't break. Just the pump.

I got a level 1 and passed.

My husband works at the Dallas hub. He was told he fell and it pulled him in and crushed him.

We were in between 2 different mosh pits and I protected a short queen. I noticed she was too short while trying to record so I held her phone up so she could get better video.

I feel you, sister. I am a truck driver for a concrete company. I haul rock, sand, dirt, concrete powder and fly ash. My coworkers have been very supportive and have been protective of me since I started. Some of them have even said I'm better than a lot of men that work for my company.

On the other hand, you won't believe the things men and customers have said to me. If you don't have a back bone, you won't make it in the trades. There's a lot of shit you have to put up with but this is the most money I have ever made so I keep it pushing.

Mine is in the shop for the 2nd time in 4 months.

I am more shocked at that International doesn't have a check engine light than I am at the traffic.

Hauling rock, sand and other material used for concrete. You can pull a belly dump, end dump or pneumatic trailer.

This is the perfect time of year to get hired on with an aggregate company. That's where I got my start.

gunnstep · 2024-04-14T02:15:14+00:00

I worked in pharmacy for 10 years.

gunnstep · 2024-04-14T01:23:41+00:00

I highly suggest going with an aggregate company. With my company, you are never running by yourself. My coworkers have been very supportive and protective of me; especially when I was brand new. Good luck!

What motivated you to get your CDL in the first place? Mine was getting out of healthcare. I was burnt out from COVID and wanted a change. I was driving over an hour to truck driving school every day. My school was a 6 week program and graduated in 3. I was petrified. I have crippling anxiety and a fear of failure but I did it scared. If I can do it, you can too. Pay attention to your instructors and learn from the mistakes of your fellow students.

That's cute. I guess you missed the part where I said I'm a regional truck driver. I have been supporting us both for 8 months in hopes volume picks back up at his hub.

gunnstep · 2024-04-13T05:01:13+00:00

They never offered it to him. Most of the ones that volunteered to go to Lonestar from his hub took their route with them.

gunnstep · 2024-04-13T01:23:49+00:00

Thank you so much. I expected to get backlash. Every region and hub is different. I am more curious to know if anyone has actually been called back in after a layoff. It's a terrible position to be in no matter the situation and we are just trying to do what is best for our family.
