I dont have time to screw around with being a union Casual. Seniority SUCKS. There is nothing equitable about the teamsters. I operate equipment like semis, end dumps Dump and pup, rolloff, lowboy, flatbed, front end loader, some Exc as well as dry and frozen freight.

Im trying to hook up with a couple different jobs that will pay twice what I usually make. Id be ND right now but its not my first choice running frozen fracking water on a dirt reservation in 30 below weather, on the 6pm -6am shift, for 20 days straight, in a truck that might not have a working heater. They beat the crap out of those trucks.

Being an ice road trucker aint bad, if you dont have to sleep in the truck with a leaky exhaust. Which will kill you. Truck exhausts are a series of clamps about 4 inches wide and they leak easily, especially when they dont use the write RTV.

I dont want to waste six month with someone who isnt going to pay enough, or be busy year around. I also dont really want to take a temp type job and bank on spring time when everyone else is now looking to come back to the trucks in ND.

The election will probably take me in one direction or not. If obama wins, the boat will go, the toon will go, the furnishings will get stored or dumped and Ill probably be long haulin again. One day off for each week Im out, so fishing will be completely over. You dont go home, when the fish are in or the water is just right. You go home when your god on the other end of the phone lets you.
