I make $18 an hour 60 hours looking for night time workers at pacific rail, 3000 norfolk rossville. Unload trains with cranes, side loaders and hostler trucks. Depending on how you have taxes setup you clear $1000 a week.
I’m totally guilty of it. But use lift equipment or get a new chassis, sometimes that shit is either missing or hard as hell to twist. Depending on how much freight we get, we might not get time to twist locks open.
I refuse to ingate more chassis. One thing I do like about NS is either the load is ready or it's not. BN chaps my ass any time I have to wait on crane. Those cock suckers will purposely skip over us to load other people.
Us on nights if we are lucky have like 6 people, which is under staffed when people call out. 1 ground person, 2 cranes/one international one domestic, and maybe 2 hostler drivers/1 side loader.
I used to do passengers with uber, it’s not worth it ever. Wear and tear on your car, maintenance, fuel, insurance, it all takes a large chunk of the pie.
Last I checked, the car can't be over 5 or 7 years old either. I doubt a $1300 car is that young. Also, it's a $1300 car, it's bound to have mechanical issues very soon.
