WindTalker let me tellyou about me I have worked as a maintenance man at a wastewater treatment plant from1994 to1/2005 I started out making 7.00hr after 10 years and 6 months I was making 16.50hr. I left to be an emergency maintenance guy at a aluminum plant that made wheels. They melted,cast,machined and painted wheels I lasted from 1/2005 to 7/2005 my average biweekly check was 1500.00 after taxes and insurance . The reason I left was I was not built to work in 100 plus degree temps. I went back to my previous employer in july 2005 at the same rate , and now am at 17.79hr . It is local goverment owned and i could retire after 30 years.
I have been thier since i was 19 years old . I weld ,fabricate ,deal with parts suppliers repair equipment that was obsolete when it was new 1985. I am all about change and challenges no offense to factory works but line workers are people who don't like challenges and like repetition.
My friend is a mechanic for a teamster outfit and they are looking for help, and to be truthful I have turned wrenches on just about everything for farm tractor ,cars ,trucks ,tractors ,construction equipment ,pumps ,blowers and other things that most people wouldn't know what I was talking about unless they worked wastewater or aluminum. So basicaly I am sick of turning wrenches and electrical work , and trucking is going to be my next challange.
