If you pull the heads I would be interested to see what the cylinders/rings that were still good looked like with that many miles. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

Not all companies will require a vehicle to be 5 years or newer but most of the big ones do. Some companies use the 5 year policy as a general requirement but you may find that they might make an exception for one that is a little past that mark if it is in good condition. Sent from my...

Are you thinking the piston broke causing the rod to drop out of the cylinder and jam the engine up? Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

I would pull the oil pan first, it sounds like you broke a connecting rod. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

Did you get pre-approval from any companies before you went to school? I would get rid of any ideas of what you will or won't do until you have a minimum of 6 months but more likely 1-2 years experience. The companies that will take someone with 2 recent felonies are few and far between...

Re: Forget I bothered I'm talking about manual labor jobs, where the job itself is hard work. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

Re: Forget I bothered I see a lot of the skills overlap but I'm not saying that they are exactly the same. If a server didn't want to be a server anymore their skills won't translate to many other jobs so I was just comparing it to one that they would qualify for based on the skill set. Not...

Re: Forget I bothered There are a lot of people that aren't fiscally responsible in the transportation industry. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

Re: Forget I bothered I completely agree that the job could be demanding at times and I know from when I worked customer service that people can be jerks. My point is to simply compare the money vs work load, if the money doesn't work for you then simply move on to another job. If you look at...

Re: Forget I bothered I was parked next to a guy that could only afford to put $40 of fuel in his TT until he could get his next dispatch. I'm not sure if it was bad luck or stupidity that had him in that position but there are some really broke people out on the road. Some of the guys that...

Re: Forget I bothered You were hoping to hear everyone agree you and it became clear when you took specific words people used and changed them into different words that fit what you wanted. Then the post that was completely irrelevant and pointless that you were all excited about rather than...

Re: Forget I bothered That's where you seem to be confusing what I am saying. I know that servers work hard and have a frustrating job but that doesn't make it hard work. Any job is going to have its frustrations and downsides but you just need to look at whether or not it's worth it. Even if...

Re: Forget I bothered All the servers that I have known have always done well and when you look at the job requirements, skills, and demands the pay was great. I'm wondering if the same could be said for the people working in the kitchen. I've only known 2 people that worked in the kitchen and...

Re: Forget I bothered It doesn't change the fact that it isn't hard work and I never claimed driving was some physically demanding job. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

Re: Forget I bothered That's another job frustration, not really hard work. The most frustrating part I would say is dealing with BS trucker stories. You can get a few feet away and the smell wouldn't be much of an issue but the guy telling his BS story can usually be heard in the back of the...

Re: Forget I bothered What would you say makes being a server hard work? I can see where it would not be a fun job but I've never seen even the hardest working servers do any hard work. What other jobs have you done to compare the work load vs paycheck and decide you aren't making enough? What...

It sucks but it was better than I thought it would be. I figured it would be closer to $3k with the other work you had done. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

How did you make out on the bill? Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

Re: Forget I bothered I wouldn't put any of those on a list of skills, that's just a general job description. I'm talking about skills that require at least a moderate amount of training. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app
