Hit it faster LOL.

Seen a few drivers stand there with a huge WTF do I do now look on their face.

Now there is something I can't drive (desk) do they have a school for that?

 

[commando1]

Called college. Shameful part about that is people graduate thinking they have to do what they're told for the rest of their lives.

Many tough jobs. I guess I was comparing it to unloading a semi trailer by hand, something I've done as well.

I spent 35 years unloading semi-trailers by hand. My choice because I had a juicy delicious carrot hanging in front of me called insurance and a pension.
Nobody has that anymore. All taken away.

That's a lot of debt to drive a desk any other options?

Welfare and driving a donk with $2000.00 worth of wheels.

Doesn't sound like much of a option I think I will just keep driving my truck.

Bed bugging was how I got my start in trailer trucks. That was a tough job, I enjoyed it for a time, wouldn't want to or more likely couldn't do it now.

There's your carrot. A decent living by working hard.
Dead batteries in zero degree weather? You hate it but you do it for a worthy reason.

BTW,
If anyone doesn't understand about delivering cars, next time you see a carrier pull up to a dealership, stop and enjoy the show. While you're doing that, imagine yourself doing that as your job, day in, day out, under sometimes impossible conditions including rain and snow, zero degree to 100+ degree temps, and a schedule impossible to meet. Crawling around that framework hanging on like a monkey.
Plus broken ramps and hydraulic systems that leak, jam, or turn to sludge when it is zero out. Cars that won't start. And driving off the top ramp backwards? OMG.
For 30 years so you have a little more than SSA when you're 65 and broken down and hurting bad for the remainder of what life you have.
Hopefully....
BTW, nobody does it 30 years anymore. The big national carriers for the auto makers that were union have been busted up and the industry is now like the freight industry where driver turnover is about one year, let alone 30.

Yeah my friend complain bitterly about the downward spiral of his work conditions, and the equipment he had to use. But he had so many years with this company he was just trying to make it until retirement. I know He had many a back injury from lifting those darn ramps. He passed away a few years ago fro ALS. He will be missed.

I don't know how guys can do delivering on flatbeds. I did it sometimes when things were slow and at the end of the day I couldn't raise my right hand high enough to drink a beer. All day slinging chains... sheesh.

 

[70bigblockdodge]

Its the tarp that will kill you.
