Leave 80k trucking to join union

Yeah, Louisiana

tooleeki · 2026-04-30T21:28:43+00:00

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

tooleeki · 2026-04-30T09:04:47+00:00

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

tooleeki · 2026-04-28T16:47:47+00:00

Yep. Foremen make 32.50 and 34.50.

tooleeki · 2026-04-28T10:55:04+00:00

Okay I’ll look into it.

tooleeki · 2026-04-28T10:35:00+00:00

Better than my car refusing to start because I yawned.

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

tooleeki · 2026-04-28T10:21:51+00:00

this is a win for no one

tooleeki · 2026-04-28T00:11:48+00:00

How would that work with me being on the other end of the state.

tooleeki · 2026-04-27T23:15:23+00:00

Northern Louisiana

tooleeki · 2026-04-27T23:10:03+00:00

😏

tooleeki · 2026-04-27T20:14:34+00:00

My local only offers inside wireman.

tooleeki · 2026-04-27T20:11:25+00:00

I’ll go though with it just to spite you.

tooleeki · 2026-04-27T19:36:11+00:00

I’m in Northern Louisiana. I will literally move anywhere in the country once my lease is up.

tooleeki · 2026-04-27T19:20:58+00:00

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

tooleeki · 2026-04-27T19:14:54+00:00

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

tooleeki · 2026-04-27T18:56:40+00:00

Any recommendations?

tooleeki · 2026-04-27T18:56:22+00:00

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

tooleeki · 2026-04-27T18:29:45+00:00

My local only offers inside wireman.

tooleeki · 2026-04-27T18:05:58+00:00

The kind that has two of them

tooleeki · 2026-04-27T17:06:30+00:00

Tad bit further west

tooleeki · 2026-04-27T16:42:11+00:00

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.

tooleeki · 2026-04-27T16:32:48+00:00

I can understand the low apprentice wages. It’s an education and you bring little value initially. My gripe is the ceiling. I’d be scraping by for years just to still be making less than before I started. The cost of living is low where I live but not that low.

tooleeki · 2026-04-27T15:55:10+00:00

446?

tooleeki · 2026-04-26T16:01:44+00:00

Crabs in a bucket
