I work for a sand and gravel company, where I drive Semi Tractor and Trailer, a Tandem Axle Dump Truck and when things really go to pot I have to drive one of those rotary box trucks a Concrete Mixer Truck. The good part of this job is you get to see a lot of different places making deliveries. The worst part is the idiots you have to share the road with, driving like idiots.

i will personally guarantee that here in alberta we have the worst most uncivilized retarded
drivers in the world

my daughter is a claims agent for a insurance company
and will agree with me

last oct we spent 2 weeks in orlando and travelled to key west, the US drivers actually
know the basic rules of the road

we also drive to vancouver bc often and bc drivers are the same as US drivers they have
common sense

He forgot to mention some of the mountain housing projects he gets to deliver concrete too. He taken mixer trucks places most people would hesitate to drive their SUVs. Climbed some driveways so steep that concrete was dribbling out the back.

And contrary to what you'd think, the fun part is driving back out empty. Rough as all hell! :whew:

Come on Dad, you've got to have a pic somewhere on your computer. You and Liam in the mixer truck.

Your little smiley needs to wipe his head more often... I felt like I was staring at him for a minute when I thought I saw him move once... then he did!

I'm planning on getting my class A CDL next year so I can become a truck driver.
