Still hauling cement dog?
They are going to train me to get my class A too, I just have my B but I have every endorsment except doubles and triples. After I get that and a class A I will be able to haul anything!

I wanna know what kind of beer you are hauling. If it is the horsepiss, don't worry about my free beer. If I am gonna drink beer, I want REAL beer like Pike Place Oatmeal Stout or Elysian's Jasmine IPA.
Overall tho, I prefer a fine tequila.

FREE BEER! PROPANE!Actually the job I really wanted came through on my first day on the beer truck. Less glamorous but better pay and after getting my tanker endorsement it is what I really should be doing. (hauling LPG) Sorry for getting everyone's hopes up, ha ha! ;D    (LCARS you'll have to extradite me to Canada to sue me) (Please do, I've always wanted to see BC!!!) |

Baz, I'm still hauling concrete. Cement is the powder that makes concrete... Just a little trivia for ya.
I used to have doubles as a endorsment, but dropped it. I have hazmat, and tanker. I have had my class "a" going on 28 years now. If I would have stayed at one job I'd be ready to retire.
But as most truck drivers, I have jumped jobs so many times, I lost count 25 years ago.
Driving trucks is all I have done since I turned 18. I learned how to drive a semi on the autobahns in Germany.
I have hauled concrete for 8 years now and love it, where else can you drive a 80,000 pound battering ram, get winters off and still get paid, work only in nice weather? If it rains, no work, to cold or snow, no work.

I'll see if they can route me over to Washington and then New York guys, ha ha ha!
Oh Stefan, it only holds 3,000 gallons of highly flammable juice!!! To think, I am crazy enough that I aspire to drive the big "suicide trucks", but I am hoping that they will train me on the transport too.
