Don't they get paid by kms or trips? I guess owner/operators do, but not sure if one drives for a comapny.

Yeah, construction is good. I remember my friend from high school his father owns a construction company and hired me for a summer job. At that time back in 1989 where minimun wage was like under $5, we were hauling $14/hr. Plus, I got the experience of driving payloaders, backhoes, bulldozers, bobcats, and dumptrucks. That was fun.

since when does a suit mean using your brain? a day cab truck driver still rakes in coin and you work 8-12hr shifts...no worse than what I did before
