  2. Well anyone interested I was able to go out and practice a little bit on my Lincoln welder yesterday weather was gorgeous finally around 200 so I set everything up with some scrap metal and made another attempt still not worth a shit but I think I’m getting slightly better… it’s sure not going anywhere near as fast as I thought I might have to just take a few classes
  3. Oooooooooooo ya power mirror would been the bomb but that was way before anyone was using them our trucks all have them now…. Makes it nice especially when everyone can adjust accordingly when I get back in all I have to do is hit the switch instead of having to get out 40 times to find the right spot
  4. My first tractor-trailer job nissens bakery Lynn Massachusetts. They tore down the building a few years ago. Kind of sad lots of good memories. It was a really good job teamsters . It was kind of strange . Once de regulation hit our business went down to a crawl I was hardly working . That’s when I move to California..
  5. Seems like everywhere you go nowadays there’s too many cars
  6. One of my first trucking jobs and California. It was a really fun job but It didn’t pay anything.
  7. I did blindside a 45 footer into a hole F model sleeper cab, two shots. I did get out and look once to make sure I was lined up and not going to hit anything bunch of guys watching. I got out padding myself on the back they were all aawwed over this . I didn’t tell them I just got lucky.I was only around 25 haha bob

  23. as far as eggs go,,,,everyone is jumping on the jack the prices routine these days. they figured out thier like water and gasaoline...nobody can get along without them,,,,we discussed this before...lately especially wood is a fortune and its garbage have to pick thru piles at home depot to find straight boards and plywood,,,,bob..
  24. That’s pretty much the way my company still operates they will train guys off the dock to drive but everybody starts in the yard hostler have to do six months without any mistakes. If you hit something you have to get back on the dock and wait six months for another chance then if you pass that they train you on one pup and you have to do city work for six months before you can train on doubles.Bob
  25. Back on those days you couldn’t even hire on until you were 25 with five years of experience. Nobody would touch you unless you knew somebody. Bob
