I'm just a truck driver of 18 wheelers whom showers daily.

The pay: Not enough, being left alone all day= Is well worth it.

I never understood why speaking about money was such a big deal.. I didn't realize it was soo taboo, I mean geez.. aren't we all on this forum to burn more holes in our wallets?

not that it matters.. but I make about $30/hr as a male nurse working 3 days a week. I was working retail at HEB up until a few months ago making a little over $9..

and yea.. I'm not just a nurse.. I'm a male nurse...

Don't feel bad, its how the business has become. 20 years ago I was in the same business, until I figured out you won't make any serious money until you've got 30 years under your belt. All the stealerships around here only want parts changers and they pay them chump change and expect them to supply 20K worth in tools themselves. If you try to go it yourself with your own shop, you'll be in the red until you either decide to be a crook or go under, cause you won't make any money being an honest person.

I just have to stand on the corner.
I don't even have to wave if don't want to, technically a mattress don't have arms.
They didn't even want me to stick my head out but, it's hot in there.
Besides I couldn't tell if I got hit with a rock or a twinkie.
RAOUL, I got tears in my eyes from laughing so hard.....
I'm sorry man, but this is funny!! Without (easy) use of your arms I can hear you sayin "aim for the mouth" as they throw food!!
Thanks to everyone....WOW 85 responses!
I gotta get in touch with the lumberyard purchaser,
I've got plans for a 24'x40 garage.....

Thank God for Roger Penske. Now my job is actually pretty stable and I get to keep it a while longer. Pay isn't the greatest, but I know it's gonna be there and I still get to live pretty decently
