Just work for spectrum top pay is 39 an hour as a technician and make that in less then a year with no exp and you can move to different field within the company and your pay goes with you on top of pay for whatever field you go into

A lot of these companies operate in the evenings and night. Usually starting between 3pm and 6pm. Work 8 to 10 hours a night, 4 or 5 days a week. I say this because it's a great job to have if you're in college/ going to school. I had some classmates that did this.
What? That's impossible levels of sleep deprivation to do that. Especially trucking. They alive?
They start you at 31 to train and then they pay 35/hr for day shift and 36/hr for Night Shift. That’s in the LA area if you work out in the inland empire they only pay 32/ hr
That ain’t shit in LA

This is what i want to do, I'm really motivated on getting my cdl and all the extra endorsements. But after i would have no experience so after i get my cdl i will have to find a job right away
I got mine two months ago. I had a hard time finding a job because I wanted to do local and mostly everything around me required 1-2 years of experience. I ended up getting a job driving ready mixers the pay is not the best but they offer good insurance and a lot of overtime. Incase you do get it and you need a job I recommend driving a ready mixer if you want to stay local and want decent money.
@jonathanpineda6759 thanks for the advice!! I'm still working on my cdl, im having my air brake knowledge test tomorrow, i really appreciate your advice, I'm so sat that my current job doesn't get me to where i want to go financially, truck driving is my hope and i wish you the best.

How long does it take to get certified or licensed? What major you need or certificate?
@@J__7777 2 years to get licensed. You have to go to a MRI school which happens to be scarce in most states. If you dont have a program in your state. you might have to do xray first then cross train into CT and then they might let you take an MRI position after that but you would still have to pass the AART exam.
You need minimum two years experience in safety cone placement enforcement.

No
I see gas haulers at the gas station filling the tanks. They do look like they have it chill. But I feel like I would stress out too much at an overcrowded or small gas station
No stress at all, just set uo your cones if someone decides to run thru them it's on them, as long as the driver does his part by the book he isn't worried about anything.
Wait till you sit 3-4 hrs at a loading terminal & find out they're out of product when you get to the rack to load.

Aircraft Technician pay is much higher. I work for JetBlue and make $40.75 an hour at year 2 (year 1 is $39) and will top out at $58.50 after 7 years. The 401k is also insane I put in 5% of my paycheck and get matched 260%. Best 401k in the country by far. Plus you accrue 5 weeks of PTO through the course of your first year.
And you will be working night shift. Lets not leave that part out. Aircraft Mechanic Delta Airlines.
@@The442028 yes but depending on your location you can be on days within 5 years or less. I work in Boston and got hired in May of 2022. Now I’m just about halfway up the seniority list. In 5 (or maybe less) years I’ll be set as far as days off.
@@crazylegs1324how did you become one? Do they have trade school where you can begin right away and get paid?
@@NorthlandDWJ google Aircraft Maintenance programs near you and pick a trade school to go to. It’s a 2 year program. And in Boston at JetBlue you can start any time as a full time Aircraft Support technician doing cabin work for $24 an hour starting out and as soon as you get your A&P you become a regular technician for $38.25 an hour with a top out of $58.50 an hour. The benefits are insane. You get 5 weeks of PTO after one year accruing 3.84 hours per week as soon as you start and you get 260% matched on your 5% contribution into your 401k. I have 19k in my 401k after 1 year and 3 months. Not sure if that applies to AST’s though. But still a great career path. Also, you can transfer to any JetBlue maintenance base you want after 1 year as long as there’s an opening. But at Boston and New York City you will move up in seniority the fastest.
@@crazylegs1324where did you study, and recommendations? Is it hard work or just tedious? That's fantastic starting pay and benefits.

Tanker jobs in my area are 110,000 a year with experience. All local driving too. I'm in the upper midwest.
The pays good but I have seen these drivers out at all hours including weekends and holidays and for some that's ok

Out of Tucson with UPT average pay about 19 a hour...the rack you pull out of makes a big difference too
Coming across your videos more often. I appreciate seeing the reality. You don’t have to be a millionaire to live a good life. There’s a lot of trades that pay really well.
Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏼
Don’t believe everything they said I’m a truck driver 23 years and everybody lie of how much they made.
The trucking industry is an average job that pay around 50k to 80k a year. Is not like a glamorous job that you getting super rich. It pay the bills that’s all. I hauled fuel for 3 years not only is very risky job and you have to be in compliance with everything DOT regulations in my experience the risk and stress wasn’t worth it for the money I used to make
If youre making 80k per year after 4 to five years in trucking, youre doing it wrong.
As a gas hauler way back to 78 have I got story's to tell. Oh winters with snowed over ground fill cap, Iced over hilly roads ,IN the rain& fog , a car load of drunk teens driving into a gas station lot with my hoses out & running over them while dumping gas , over filling the storage tanks with the gas filling the st. Gutters brakes on the trailer smoking hot on inter state fire.

I love your videos man. From your interviews, have you found any tanker companies in Southern California that hire right out of trucking school with zero experience?
You know he’s been around the block with the no look cone drop and catch.
You'll most likely start out working a rotating schedule and working nights if you're able to make that work then You'll make plenty of money it's a good job for a single guy without kids.
It’s hard finding good paying jobs that are local with no experience. I got my Cdl Class A and I had a hard time finding a job here in Texas that didn’t require 1-2 years of experience. Right now I’m driving ready mixers the hourly pay is not the best but they offer good insurance and a lot of overtime.
Look at LTL. They usually take with no experience and pay is decent
Those come placements were on point had to rewatch the video to get the context cause I got distracted

Haha beach and warner, I recognize that intersection. Shout-out to May Tire.
Shotout to this brotha’s beard tho!!!😂😂
The best pay I had when I was doing it too and those gloves last about 2-3 weeks in that field.
Just work for spectrum top pay is 39 an hour as a technician and make that in less then a year with no exp and you can move to different field within the company and your pay goes with you on top of pay for whatever field you go into
Driving double and triples is another level
34$ for an A license with 4 endorsements?!
That’s always negotiable you can’t just take what they offering..unless you got the endorsement while working at the company
Forgot to mention schooling which can cost up to $5,000.
That's nothing, and most schools will finance. There are far worse positions in life. Many people spent much more on school, only to work a job with less freedom for way less.
$5000 is great if you can get a $80K-$150K a year job.
$5,000 is cheap

My neighbor is a gas hauler. He told me everything I wanted to know, he gets paid like $24/hour and can do overtime whenever he wants

If you’re getting a cdl there’s many states that don’t charge for them or charge very little. Don’t pay thousands for a license!!
