Congrats Steiny, way to re-create your own reality. Sounds like phase 1 was to weed out the riff raff, next two are in the bag for you dude. :thu:

Just this one. As Geno can testify, I have prob $1k in razors and soaps, I ain’t trying for anything super spendy on this tip, just trying to save some time in the morning while training.

Back when I tried it we took 'White-Cross'. I would still get sleepy as hell. This was a short career for me

5 weeks down, DONE.

Fuck this place, I learned it all and I’m good to go. Can’t wait to get home for a week.

I miss my wife, my daughter, the cats and my guitars/amps. Can’t wait to jam. 5 weeks with no guitar sucked ass, gonna have to figure out a way to take an axe with me, along with my comp/interface. There’s a serious amount of down time in this job, I’ll have a lot of time to play.

Figured I’d update.

Next up, Hazmat certs on my own time, they’ve given me 3 months to grab it, plenty of time.

Congratulations and good luck going forward Scott!!! Enjoy the adventure.


Now, listen up. If you are planning on being a trucker and taking a guitar on the road with you, it is required by federal law that that guitar be a Fender Telecaster. No off brand's. No weird shapes or trem's. Just a down and dirty run whatcha brung Tele. Anything less and the DOT will take your license.

If you think about it, it makes perfect sense anyway.

I think a parlor acoustic would be acceptable too.

Man you’ve seen the Jazzmaster days, you know that isn’t gonna happen :lol: :lol: :lol:

Although if a good bro in NY felt bad enough about my trucking Tele sitch and just had to send me a Pittman I’d be down. :)

ALSO

I just got off the phone with my team lead; there’s a dedicated run out of SLC that they want me on. More $. No touch freight. Show up and get loaded, drive and get unloaded, whole time I’m sitting in the cab playing guitar. It’s a 5 day run, weekends off but I STILL only work 3 weeks out of the month and get paid for 4, same truck for the whole week. When I’m done on Friday I go home, come back Monday. No flying with guitars, which means I can take my ESPs if I want to.

I am SERIOUSLY stoked right now. :dance:

Do you have to get your hazmat first for this run?
Or is it not in that category?

Nope. Not necessary for this dedicated run.

Saw that shit like two weeks ago; ain’t gonna lie I’d do some shady stuff for $14k per week but I don’t have that experience.
