job: driver
type: 18 wheeler
qualifications: class 1/air brakes cert.
earnings: 4-4.5k monthly after taxes
daily duty: i work 12 hours most days but i sit in my rig for about 5-6 hours waiting to get loaded or unloaded so the job is not hard and its perfect for me.
history of employment: i started out when i was 17 years old delivered pizza for panago, 20ish worked for a same day courier using my own car, then worked for FEDex as a driver, then now i drive a company truck and i haul trailers.
i never saw myself sitting in an office or a 9 to 5 job, my job now allows me to be on the road/outside meeting different people and i love driving.
its not for everyone as it takes skills to maneuver a big rig around town. most company will not hire a person without experiences they want a proven track record + a very clean drivers record.
