Does your daily job have anything to do with the transportation industry?

Because being a starving artist isn't all it's cracked up to be, I'm a journeyman steamfitter in maintainance at Harley-Davidson. We make the big motors at our plant. In my "free" time I draw/paint/stripe/scupt cars 'n trucks. My wife and I operate "Swanson Artworks" and "Shaved Ape Studios". Art from the mundane to the arcane!

 

radio commercial production...basically, I manipulate sound all day...so you can change the station when you here my voice.

Operations Manager at a trucking company. Tough to make money in trucking these days but if you're smart, willing to work really hard, and you don't get any really bad breaks it can still be done. The market is starting to get better, can't happen fast enough.

 

The shop I run builds tooling for all aspects of the transportation industry.

Truck driver doing local deliveries in everything from a 3-ton body-job to a semi pulling 53' trailers.

 

I oversee the Reconditioning side of a Vehicle Purchasing Service. People call in and we take orders for specific cars, and then we go and find them, clean them up, fix what's broke and deliver it. We deal mainly high end cars 1-3 years old, but will do anything under 100k miles or over 10k in value. Our website is www.Sidcoauto.com.

 

i draw those crazy cars you see in the canter catalouges. that count?

 

I work in the traffic signal maintenance dept. for a local govt. Before that I worked in their street maintenance dept. paving streets.

 

I'm a trucker...

 

ex Tech working for the "F" word "developing" Link based service tools. You'll know 'em if you're a dealer guy. Get into PCM calibration/reprogramming stuff. I live in the future...2011. It's cool, just not as cool as working at home on old stuff...

 

I did six years as a fleet manager for 102 trucks in distribution, including dispatching, back haul logistics, inter modal rail, and fleet maintenance (used oil labs and service tracking). Before that I was a warehouseman for 12 years picking and checking boxed product orders in a meat department (80-120 lbs a case for 12-16 hrs a day at a dead run) and loaded trucks and set up pulling runs. I started there when I was 20. I did a short stint as a parts manager for a truck repair facility, but I didn't care for it, very boring and sedentary (I hated being chained to a desk, I figure too much pressure on my brain being as its located in my ass) After all of that I went into landscape textiles, in a conversion facility as a plant manager which included logistics inbound and outbound and machine scheduling using lean Six Sigma principles. Ported cylinder heads and built engines on the side, that was my hobby I saved for pleasure.

I am now medically retired, and man I miss the being in the harness something awful. The career I have had has been very broad and was a real blessing. I used to have a very hot temper, would fight at the drop of a hat, but hefting around 100 lb cases and being around a bunch of fellow roughnecks doing the same thing with the same temperament was the best thing that ever happened to me. We would bust each other up once in a while, but it was all based on respect for each other. It really matures you, and it made most all of us into great managers as we worked our way up the ranks. You can't do that anymore, they'll hire a kid straight out of college who can't find his ass with both hands before they'll let a mongrel like me move up.

Did I say I miss my career?

 

20 years in auto parts now last five lead tech at an R.V. dealership.
