Popular Post Lmackattack Posted June 14, 2013 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2013 Job is great so far. Its only been 2 weeks but so far its Better pay, home every night. Dont feel over worked. I enjoy the pace and truck rides nice. I was afraid my back would be killing me in the r model but not even a hint of back pain. Have no one looking over me like i was when at the race shop...just do the job.do it right and go home. I Load early,make 2-4 moves a day and sometimes finish as early as 1-2 pm. Only thing I don't like is moves into the old parts of the city with the small narrow streets. Had to make a hard right onto this neighborhood street. Block the road,Pick up the case cx210 and go via a permit route. Put me right down a street with a moving truck double parked. Luckily they were almost done...only waited 10mins for them... I Also don't enjoy the traffic near the loop. today was my first day I spent going up and down I-55 . 4 moves total. Started at 5am finished by 4pm . Traffic the whole day on I-55 and I-94But Monday I get another nice and easy western il trip. Head out west empty and load a D7 to bring back. Will take me about 6 hrs...if I time it right I may get to make a quick 2nd move for the day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hicrop10 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 That's the way I felt when I ran our lowboy.Just give me my permits and cut me loose.The traffic was the only hang up,those dam 4 wheelers think you can stop like they do when your topping out at 150,000 plus.
