Let's get to know each other!
 

I think while the forum is still small we should get aquainted, lets start with what everyone does for a living?

Im a derrickhand on drilling rigs in winter, landscaper/carpenter in summer, and goin to school for heavy equipment and agricultural tech in the fall!

My name is Aaron. I own my own Residential Construction Company. Started it 5 years ago, and do mostly remodeling, and additions lately.

Good for you man! Gotta love being your own boss, pain in the ass sometimes but pays off in the end.

My name is Brendon, Im 24, Im a landscape contractor, second in command of the family business. I do outdoor construction, and landscape installation ONLY, none of those lawn mowing shenanigans. Been swingin a hammer since I could walk, been drivin a skidsteer since kindergarten. Im married, have a teeny tiny house, and an 18 month old daughter.

Muddy redneck by day, rockstar drummer by night.

Mechanical Engineer work in oil and gas doing midstream, facilities and pipelines mostly

Name is Braydon... Current in the Army Reserves. Been to Afghanistan once. Right now I'm current going threw Indiana State Police hiring process. Should know by April if I have the job. I work for Cummins right now.

My name is Fig , most call me Fig. Im 21 , been married almost 3 yrs i have a 2 1/2 yr old mini me . I work for a sign company and spend most of my day in a bucket. Im also a volunteer firefighter for goin on 3 yrs now.

Jeeze, im 21 aswell and i cant imagine being married with kids already! Good for you bro!

I'm 23 and already been divorced haha

Ah shoot eh, apparently im doin somethin wrong, im married to my work. Good luck with the police hiring thing bud, what do you do for cummins?

Ha no your doing it all right... being married and deployed for a year hardly works. And thanks.

And right now I'm Custom Protections Officer (armed renta cop) for them

ahh looking to upgrade to the real thing eh, military wasnt doing it for ya?

Yea...its my dream job.

I did the military thing to help with my police career. Makes my resume look better with Military back ground and a combat tour

Ya that makes sense, you do any criminology or criminal justice schooling? My ex took criminal justice in college and apperently that really helps you to get into the force.

I'm a semester away from completing an assc in Criminal Justice...I'm doing it all lol

Atta boy, that's how ya get ahead. I cant wait to go to school in the fall

What you going for?

Heavy diesel equipment and agricultural equipment tech, its a one year program which at the end i can write the tests for the first two years of both trades and work towards getting a dual ticket. Im sick of having to work rigs to make good coin, time for a real career.

Good for you man. That would be a fun job

Ya endless opportunities up here too

I'm Blake. Currently in college for civil engineering, did three semesters of mechanical engineering at VCU and figured out it wasn't for me so I'm trying something that will get me outside some. I have been a volunteer firefighter for almost 5 years as well. I'll do just about anything to make money but enjoy cutting and splitting firewood the most.

My name Jorge(George).. I work in an armored truck company.. Aiming on getting my cdl. Love big rigs and almost all my family drive 18 wheelers. Hope to get it in a couple of months.

Good plan, you lookin to drive long haul?

Yes sir.. My brother in law has his own trucking company, said he is willing to give me a hand.

Long haul has always appealed to me! Id love to get out of the rain and into a big rig

It would be fun being out on the open road....for a while at least.

It would be fun, but if after a while I get tired, I can get a job here local. Truck drivers are in high demand here.

Ya same up here, oneyou get that licence there is no shortage of work, especially if you own your own rig.

I'm Abe and I'm a truckoholic :jester:


I am a Custom welder and Fabricator. I do only exotic alloys now. Been in this field for a tad over 20 yrs. I would show some stuff but it literally is top secret. No joke. But it's fun and creative. :cheers:

Hey guys! I am Josh, 31 years old, self employed in construction, small family business my dad started 35 years ago and now I run it. We do lots of roofing, windows, doors, build garages, additions, and some kitchen/bath remodels. I also do Vortex Spray in Bedliners and Protective Coatings as a side business.

I would REALLY like to get into trucking/hauling. Not OTR but hauling vehicles, equipment and stuff like that locally or within the state, its a work in progess!!

Been married for 8 1/2 years and have a 4 month old daughter.

Been a Ford guy my whole life, but I am not a hater of other makes, I respect them all, just prefer my Fords.

Looking forward to getting to know everybody!

Nice intro ^^^ I guess I could add to my intro :jester: I'm 38 have 2 kids and have been married for 20 yrs.

Looks like we have all kinds of contractor types, I feel right at home. And the. There is super secret abe who could show pics but then he'd have to kill us all!!!

Wouldnt have to kill you but I can lose my sweet job and I don't want that :jester:

Well, if you don't have to kill anyone it's not THAT secret. I was hoping you had a laser watch or a jet pack or something. :jester:

Thanks Abe, and thanks for leading me over here, nice site! Enjoy talking with guys with other trucks.

No problem bud :cheers: you'll be here to see it grow into something I hope :chewie:

I'm Eric, 22 getting married in June. Been with her since I was 16 so I guess it's time. I work for my dad and uncle as a general contractor. Been doing mostly residential the last few years but will do or subcontract about anything.
