Got my CDL today. leave for ND in a week

thanks.

ive had my fair share of second thoughts already and im not even out there. but its time for me to grow up and do something with my life. im sick of making less than 15/hr im sick of only watching skydiving videos and dreaming and hoping maybe that will be me one day. im sick of watching all my friends do nothing with their life, living paycheck to paycheck... i woke up and smelled the flowers and this is the route those flowers have taken me.

im willing to earn it! i know its not going to be cake work but im hoping everything in my life has prepared me for this culture shock im going to have. i know nothing can truly prepare me but im motivated to get to my dream and whatever it takes to get there.

 

Driving there last February:

Yeah, be careful driving, but if you're willing to work in Williston then you deserve every cent you make; and that'll be a lot of $change$!

 

haha damn thats intense. tho i have never drivin a rig in that kind of weather im have faith in myself to be able to proceed with caution and take as many preventative measures as needed.

tho as i said, i have never done such a thing and hope ill have a bit of luck on my side

 

You'll be fine, just drive slowly in weather like this.

 

well, got a job, not in north dakota... but still

This guy got it.

It was a joke. There was a snow storm when I sent that so I just uploaded a white picture. Its basically the same.

 

so i got a call from savage today. a major nationwide company, they are doing a phone interview tomorrow. woot woot!

tho im kinda liking this job in salt lake. there great people and they feed me lunch and dinner! plus its only wednesday and im already at 38 hours! thats equal to the amount id be working in ND...

 

just filed my taxes... before i entered in my schooling for CDL i was only getting 900 back. then i entered in my expenses for CDL school and now im getting back 3,500...

 

Congrats!

On a side note, I'm getting almost zero back (from 2013) and paid almost exactly $3,500 in income tax in January of 2014 alone. But, I'm a single cat living alone so I guess that's fair. And no, I'm not bitter about it.

 

i could see your point.... i was thinking i was only gettin 900 back so im stoked

 

Yea yea I'd be pretty excited too. I say get all you can...

 

welllll..... that shit didn't happen!

 

Don't give up. After school I jumped a few years. Maybe the best years of my life. I'd work all week just to get to the DZ Friday night to Sunday night. Maybe you can hang out at the DZ, help out, get on staff, learn to pack chutes. Make friends there, get job leads. Pack enough chutes get a free jump. They say only skydivers know why birds sing. Good luck!

 

What happened? What's up now?
