I'm assuming it is but at 20 bucks an hour I don't mind being a simple trucker.

The way it sounds tommorrow I get to make my first delivery in the semi in Saskatoon first thing, then I get to go take the F650 and make some small pick ups and deliveries, Monday some more small pickups and delivery then on Tuesday I'll be all by myself going with a Boom Lift on the semi to Meadow Lake.

Scissor lifts are pretty fun to drive, they are EASY to load. I still enjoy Boom Lifts more, you can kinda cadapult yourself.
But the indoor scisspor lifts suck those I truelly hate.

Extremely good, even the scissor lifts aren't bad they're just not fun.
I got to drive/deliver today I found out the IH semi even though it has a 10 speed which I hate it does have 475 hp.
I got to drive the F650 too and I like it execpt the PTO doesn't engage well stupid electric system.
But I'm now comforable with each piece of equipment starting to get in the groove of things
Oh best story I'm getting along great with all/most of co-worker 3 of them drove 1967-72 Ford trucks as they grew up They didn't think much of the 93 but the 69 made me fit right in, and the 3 in the tree gives them respect for my driving ability. which makes sense

But the only thing getting on my nerves is the backround check they do. They hire "Hire Right" who are a majior pest. But they aren't affialiated directly with United Rentals and my boss knows it's Hire Right's problem not mine.

I dont get why you should need a background check for an equipment rental place either.
