Default Dump Trucks has its ups and downs.

Well its been almost 3 months at my new dump truck job. SO far i like it alot the boss/owner is a really really good guy. For trukey day he gave us all 50.00 gift cards to the acme. But the rain kills us. Right now it is 7:15am I should be at workin makin money but im sittin at home typein on CAD. The past 3 weeks i missed 1 day a week. SO i have gotton no OT. These 33hr weeks are killin me. Before this i drove tankers and the weather never affected them. O well i got a job interveiw at the Home Depot that is 2 miles form my house see if i can work a couple hrs at night to make up for the rain days.

I've thought about checking into running a local dumptruck job. Just not sure if I can deal with staying in the same area day after day.

Well its the job sites we do nothing but dirt work so its mud holes. Trucks will get stuck and you will mess the grade up bad. The whole crews dont work its not just the truck.
