Got my ACZ license. Working for a freight company doing freight deliveries. Best job ever. Get to drive around, deliver to malls filled with hot chicks, and get a great workout unloading freight.

I'm still working for ITT Goulds Pumps as a product engineer, but I have moved over to the Industrial Products division (just across town). I work with much larger and more specialized stuff now.

Wow, this thread has been around while. LOL

When I joined I was building campervans & motorhomes.

Since then I took a job as an assistant facilities manager & recently, when the company lost the contract to look after the buildings I worked in, the new company, asked me to join them & keep looking after the buildings I was with.
This got me promoted to full facilities manager & a 40% pay rise. I can't complain about that except that I now look after 6 office blocks, a multi level car park and 2 industrial properties one a warehouse, the other a transport depot.
I also share the workload with another facilities manager on the entertainment complex (foodcourt, pubs & movies) in Auckland city center as there is too much for one guy on that one.

Just got off a stint in the clink stamping licence plates for offin' that fool a few years back.

J/K

I moved back from BC a few months ago, and got my old job back. So now Im a Hiway 9 Express dude again. I work at the Edmonton distribution center, which is the largerst H9 terminal. We do overnight and sameday LTL shipping to southern Alberta. I work the distribution shift, so we empty the Edmonton inbounds and then set it up for delivery in the morning. I do a little forklift work on the crossdock, and mostly do the paperwork and computer stuff up in the office and shunt some trailers when needed. Im like a coordinator and I go all night long, 5 times a week. Heres what it looks like at my work.

From the main street entry


Half of the Edmonton fleet standing at attention.

What it looks like shunting a 53 foot trailer at night

Im also a part time jigollo that works for breakfast.
