Worst experience was waiting for a container burried 13 deep that took so long i made it back to my yard with 5 minutes left on my 13 hour clock lol

I’m working for my city hauling recycling, cardboard and yard waste. What is your favourite thing to haul? Walking floors can be nice or a pain in a!! Lol

I was once asked what NFI stood for and just shrugged and “No F***ing Idea”😂. I dealt with them a lot when I did security before I got into trucking

I can tell a true professional by the colour of their flip flops lol 😂

I may be new to haulage but so far it’s been really good so don’t just focus on flatbeding? It may be different in the USA but in Toronto I deliver 2-3 loads a night and get overtime after 8 hours plus night shift premium lol. Hauling garbage may smell ( my nose hasn’t worked since I was 5 lol) but it pays pretty good. I work for my city so I have full benefits and pension 😎 and union.

Hey I’m not sure what province you’re in but here in Ontario we don’t have to learn how to blindside a trailer. I had to teach myself and actually prefer going in blindsided most of the time. Just keep an eye on your tandems and imagine an invisible line of where they are going. Once you get to a certain point you can pull up then go in on your normal side if that makes sense lol

Any thoughts on balancing work life with pet life?

Just imagine everyone who zips around you or cuts you off has to go to the bathroom so bad and then hope they don’t make it lol 😂

So I’m just starting out with my city hauling garbage working nights and it’s been a little over a year since my old dog passed away but a cutie has popped up and needs a home asap! I work locally so I’m home every day but I work nights and can’t bring her to work. Also I have old cats so I’m not sure how having a young pup alone with them would be? I can’t take her to work with me ☹️

I got to say I feel like I can shift smoother in a manual that the automatic freight liners do lol
