1st week update

Since last Friday i didn't hit anything else lol. But I'm not a big fan of my new job. But you sure cant beat the money. I been training all week with a guy riding with me. Monday i start by myself. This week i got 56.5 hrs. at 20/hr That comes out to 1,295.00 gross. After 90 days when i go union my pay will go up to 23.04. I like the people i work with and my boss. They are great so far. But that truck is a PITA. I'm going to try to stick it out as long as i can. I haven't been in Philly yet.

This is by far the best paying job i had. So I'm going to do my best to make it work. But i gotta say you WORK for your money. So this week went good. Next week i will get better pics of the stuff i haul. I just took this quick pic of the truck with the 53ft landoll when i left work the other night.

What don't you like about the truck? The trans, the suspension, or is it just an old POS that should be retired? It looks like what I drove pulling RGNs and mine was a rough riding, noisy truck with a clutch that didn't want to stay in adjustment.

Philly will be a fun trip in that rig.

I dont like the 53ft trailer. The lowboy i just came from was 42ft. You had trouble at times getting that around philly. Let alone a 53.
