Well, even though I'm the low man on the totem pole at work right now, by the first week of november, I'm going to be the second in charge. I'll be going for my CDL tests before then, and I'll be training the new guys as they come in (he wants 2 more employees). So I guess that means a pretty good promotion within 2 months of becoming employed - especially since only 3 of us work there right now including the manager. The other guy is leaving in november to move up north, leaving me as the most experienced guy there (besides the manager). Wow, things are kind of moving fast. I'm quite happy with it though. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Good on you, Kenny. Always nice to see a friend get ahead in the world. I'm sure it feels nice to be appreciated and trusted.

I guess so, I'll be able to haul over 26,000 pounds combined GVW, and be certified for air-brake-equipped vehicles... now we just need a vehicle - I don't think the boss will let us borrow the dumptruck. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Yep, I haven't even started either of them in the past month. I should have money to start putting into them by january after I climb out of the pile of bills we fell behind on, and after christmas.

I doubt I'll ever own the company though, it's a non-profit run by a board of directors, but I am one position away from being manager... Although I hope Mr. Rice (the manager) stays around for a while.

Congratulations /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif.....Did you get to run the backhoe yet?

Great job & it sure makes the day go fast!
There is nothing more honest than digging a hole.

(No argument about it.......You can measure it right in front of them before you get paid) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

When we fill, we have to pack it down and groom it (edge of people yards and such) so it all goes in eventually, but yeah it looks at first like there's gonna be way too much dirt to fill the hole back up. Nope I haven't run the backhoe yet, but I was asking lots of questions about it. And I climbed aboard the ditchwitch today and started asking what all the levers and pedals did.

We spent all day running 2 service lines under a road today (running 3/4 inch copper to replace the plastic lines that were leaking). I spent my fair share behind a shovel in a hole most of the day. I'm tired and ready for a rest... tomorrow we start back up reading meters again. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
