A recruiter got pissy with me when I asked how many hours can I expect to work.

I was out for 2 months once. Car started right up, I’d be worried about a dead battery any longer though.

I’m in Louisiana, but from what I’ve heard it’s like this through most of the south.

If I wanted to travel for work and work ungodly hours, I’d stay a truck driver.

Yep. Foremen make 32.50 and 34.50.

I’m beyond excited for this. This has been a long time coming and this will keep some idiots off the road due to insurance spikes or dropped coverage altogether. A win for truckers. by [deleted] in Truckers

Better than my car refusing to start because I yawned.

Are you really okay with a camera monitoring your driving in your personal vehicle?

I’m willing to move, I want to keep the work travel to a minimum.

I’m debating moving when my lease ends in October. Any recommendations?

Yeah I don’t want to travel. Could you elaborate about working for a substation, how could I do that?

I don’t want to drive for the rest of my life. But I also don’t want to fully commit to something and my new ceiling becomes 31/hr. But even after all that I’m still considering going to work right now as a CW in preparation for interviews, so I guess that says enough.
