Gabriel

Gabriel @gabriel_true Very welcome! I do my best to impress. How was your day?

Gabriel @gabriel_true Yes and safe travels on your own journey out their on the highway!

Under The Mistletoe @joemama711 Congrats and thank you sir, same to you!

Gabriel @gabriel_true What's the company you're attempting to apply for? My brother works for CR England which is a fairly average company with moderate pay and mileage. I was warned to never work for Western Express as they apparently pay the lowest while demanding the highest in return. Amazon's saving grace is that currently it's still hourly vs per mile. Even if I wait for hours to get a trailer I am payed the same. Of course Amazon doesn't pay nearly as high as specific companies where hazmat endorsements are required.

Under The Mistletoe @joemama711 Honestly anyone that's nearby that isn't Welfare Depressed or Swift. I've heard their both pretty awful, my folks want me to do local which is very limited, Pepsi, coke or shitty food service where I'm working my ass off physically for 4 14 hour days lol. I got no clue which company I wanna go, gotta pass CDL school first( 6 weeks) then state exam before I can pick a company. Not sure if other options will show up but I'll be hoping. Do you like trucking more then being in the warehouse?

Gabriel @gabriel_true All careers have trade offs. The secret to trucking is come into the business with contacts with lots of contracts or else you will be sitting on the side of the road without even a pay-day loan to get you gas enough to cross state lines. Wanna know how I know it's cause my brother tried driving independent for 2 years before the cost of fuel, loans, insurance, and maintenance ate him out of any profits he could make. The competition for contractors is steep made worse by mega corporations who can afford to undercut all other drivers to force out potential rivals. Its most lucrative if you're entering the field with a group of trusted inventors that want to pool their limited resources into something no one independent could do on their own. However that requires its own set of skills that most people don't got!

Under The Mistletoe @joemama711 I definitely have heard a lot of people complaining about not great pay because they are working their life away, a lot of family men hate the time away from home or maybe they don't get paid enough for their preferences. Some people are banking it though, the Walmart truckers making 100 Grand, along with the smart owner operators with investors and contacts like you said. I'm fine working with a mega, even making 800 a week would be great to me, I don't have adult bills lol so I'm not hussle hussle hussle.

Gabriel @gabriel_true The important part is that you work for a company that will work with your needs. It's good enough to at least get the experience if nothing else and it's worth at least having a certification in a field as a backup plan.

Under The Mistletoe @joemama711 That's true, whatcha gonna do after you get a few years with Amazon?

Gabriel @gabriel_true Today was an off day, so I caught up on some snooze. What game has your undivided attention?

Yuka @yukachan VrChat and Honkai Star Rail that's my attention tryin to get a fox boi.

Gabriel @gabriel_true So you replaced one addiction with a different flavor of the same addiction. Good, goood... What shenanigans are going on in the virtual chat room these days? Or is that where all the hot fox bois are hanging at?

Yuka @yukachan HAhahha well in Star Rail theirs gonna be a fox boi I've wanted.

Yuka @yukachan I've missed your cosplays. *-*

Gabriel @gabriel_true Or was I ever away? And I appreciate your compliments on my many masquerades, hehe! Unfortunately as a truck driver I don't get to dress up anymore. It's a hazard of the job.

Yuka @yukachan That's very understandable. //We all do get busy in life or jobs. >< Do you even remember who i am? haha

Gabriel @gabriel_true Only one person I remember living in Nebraska was a huge Genshin Impact fan. Ashlee.

Yuka @yukachan Yes sir it's me.

Yuka @yukachan Glad yo remember <3

Gabriel @gabriel_true What I struggled to remember was to spell your name with two Es, hehe!

Gabriel @gabriel_true Thank you for reaching out, Dagger! I remember you had departed shortly before I to pursue a new road in life. I too have had similar experiences. Did that business with someone damaging your car ever get resolved. I know it was many months ago, however I remember you'd something happen that was terrible. Also, how fairs your church life? Christ has been very active in my own this year. Not to say He ever was absent as we know the man never rests fulfilling His coming kingdom! God bless and His peace be with us both my friend!

Mr. Rogers @rafaelsanzio i swear its the calling

Gabriel @gabriel_true Hearing that from you makes it sound more like the Call Of Cuthulu! But maybe that would better fit another user by the name of Cris?

daggerfella93 @daggerfella93 Which car? I've totaled every single car I've ever had or It's been told. It's been going all right, I need to pray more and I need to go to church more but it's nice to know I have him

Gabriel @gabriel_true Sounds like your misfortune with keeping a vehicle rivals my father. He went through 3 trucks within a year. 2 were his fault and one was by another pulling out of a Sam's Club parking lot while glancing at their phone.

daggerfella93 @daggerfella93 Recently I got rear-ended on the highway because it all came to a stop, prior to that I rear-ended someone, and before that my roommate rear-ended a landscaping truck

Gabriel @gabriel_true I passed yet another crash up the road from house at the same intersection. It's bizarre how so many accidents can happen in a given place in almost the exact same fashion.
