Local Job: (?)
Pepsi trucks... Coca-Cola trucks and Beer distributor trucks.(Budweiser,etc) They offer jobs. The beer guys usually run from around 0400 to 1300 where I live.... alot of 'off time' in the afternoons

I was born and raised here in the Valley so I don't have a problem with much of the allergies but I do know what you mean by the nosebleeds I always get them when I go to LA during the spring
As for the rules and b.s. I'm used to California's antics and hoops and have learned how to work around the krap. As for the ag trucking jobs it depends on what you do all I know is tomato season is coming up and they pay really. I know a guy that makes 20-25k for the season from July to October then he hauls juice oranges all winter getting about $50-$60 a load running 4-6 loads a day he does pretty well and gets to get home every night I am half tempted to try tomato season this year I have done olives and oranges in the past and the olives paid really well. If you come do tomatoes this year then I'll do them with you, Mike Lowrie Trucking or Youngs Commercial Transfer? :lol:

Local jobs take a lot of patience, like fishing.
I'm on to something promising here in town, i'm going for a ridealong tomorrow. I found them cuz my wife was looking in the local classifieds, and came across a little ad. I recognized the name, gave them a call, had to -mail- a resume, and they're interested in me. Hopefully it's a good fit. |
