While my ride doesn't do well on the highways, it rolls around my cubicle with easy, and I am the only one in the company with a high back leather chair.   :cool:

Truck Driver is the most common job in the USA hands down.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/02/06/why-america-is-now-a-nation-of-truck-drivers/

Providing the goods to those of us that have higher paying jobs.  :)

Just kidding...I wanted to be a TD right out of high school. Kind of a romance job if you get my meaning. Up until you hit 50 and feel every bump in the road if driving long haul.

I don't need to post any pictures, everyone has seen and I'm sure used what I work on.

I'm the guy that puts the vending machine back together after it ate your dollar  :devil

I've been in the vending field for over 30 years. I've repaired everything from food, snack and coffee machine of all types to video and pinball games. I remember when we had thousands of cigarette machines, now you can't find one any where. I'm nearly an expert on recovering pooltables and play the game rather well. You have to test these things after you work on them!

I drive on average 150 miles a day going from site to site repairing broken machines. In the old days I helped move them as well, but now as the old guy I don't get called in for that much any more, and my back is very happy about that. Next time your playing pool at a bar/pub and it's NOT on the ground floor, think about how they got that sucker in there! Most of our tables were 8 footers, single piece slate. Weighed about that same as a P47  :neener:

There are days when I WISH for only 150 miles a day. lol

I used to drive truck long haul for 20 years... at 45 it was time for a change... I got tired of not having a real life... I finally met a wonderful woman who made me an offer I could not refuse.. So when i came off the road I decided to help her in her business. What a great experience I have had, I have been to many places in the last year I love this path i am on and would not change a thing...

I operate the washing and drying machines at a hospital laundry.

This is a Braun 600lb capacity commercial washing machine. We have two of these plus a 200lb machine. We have a 400lb commercial dryer and two 100lb dryers.

It's hot and heavy work but it keeps me fit and happy.
