Industrial Maintenance Tech for the last 14 years. We did injection molding. Wiring harness components.



Before that was heavy equipment and semi repair.



The factory I worked for is moving. So I am unemployed for now. It might be time for the state to pay for some more schooling.



I might need to go back into heavy equipment again or drive a long way for a factory maint job.

I'm almost ashame to say. I work for The State of Texas--DOT. My job requires me to do many things, like driving 6 and 10 yard dump trucks,hauling and operating heavy equipment,putting up speed limit road signs. I know that I do excellent work because when I was recently putting up those new 55 MPH speed limit signs, people where flying by in their cars blowing their horns on their cars and telling me by sign language that I was NUMBER ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't make the same mistake that I have!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd like to personally thank you - Texas has some of the best highways in the country - keep up the good work!!

I'll second that! you should see the difference as soon as you cross the Texas/Louisiana line. You would think that Louisiana could send a few of their guys over for a little OJT (on the job training) and get on I-20 and fix that dang thing!

The wife graduated with a Math degree had a 3. 91 Summa Cum Laude. If it was not for the honors classes she would of had a 4. 0. Maybe you can talk to her, I don't understand some of the "tangents" she gets off on :-laf :-laf

Kinda neat seeing what everyone does

I own a custom cabinet shop, just bought out my grandpa this spring. Wemostly build kitchen cabinets, but also do gun cabinets, tables, china hutches, almost anything out of wood. So far things are going really well. Kinda nice having him work for me now... I don't think he'll ever retire, he'd get too bored. Oh. . If you're curious I'm 22.

Hey truckstom don't get me started If I could have my way I would leave it at 55 . Ever had to work out in the road while cars are flying by at 70 to 90 once in a while 100 M. P. H. Now having it at 70M. P. H. is not a bad ideal IF ONLY every one would drive 70 M. P. H. but most people do not . I have said all along it might have not been lowered if people would just do what the signs say to do. Some days I have to work on the Sign Truck and it seems to be a waste of time ( and tax dollars ) because most people pay the road signs no mind at all. I spend eight hours a day or more on the highways and you would not believe some of the things I see the Traveling Public do every day and as for seeing if the lowering of the speed limit has done any good in the reduction of the smog no one will ever know because very few people have or have been driving 55 M. P. H. Back during the gas shortage in the seventies if I remember right the speed limit was lowered to 55 ( I think I remember right cause I got a speeding ticket just a few days after it was lowered ) and not as many people B!~ch about it like people are now,but then again people were too busy looking for GASOLINE-------- Kind-da like a crackhead looking for cocaine
