Re: whats your job! Pics?
I work at a major transportation company as well. We've got over four thousand trucks on the road now, and myself and one other guy handle the breakdowns on the road, thirteen hours a night. We don't have any trucks over three years old, so you'd think they would be reliable. :) Thankfully for me they aren't. The feds pushed the emission standards too quickly in my opinion, and the manufacturers had to cobble together whatever they could to meet the new standards if they wanted to keep selling engines, regardless of reliability. My company also seems to enjoy testing the latest technology on its trucks and trailers, so that's another bit of job security. They will also hire just about anyone and train them, so we get some real rocket scientists out there. That would explain the line under my name above this post. :)
Having done this for too many years, I can tell you in all honesty, there is no such thing as a good-looking truck.
Re: whats your job! Pics?
I used to be a Residential Contractor specializing in Custom Home Construction. I inherited the company from my grandfather and kept it going through out my last 2 years of college. Made it another 6 months into the recession and had to close up shop due to no construction work to be found for 60 miles. So I took my savings and sold a piece of heavy equipment and started a photography business. (Got a Bachelors in Business Administration and an associates in fine arts) So I went with what I know besides construction. I have been making it (no where near what I made building homes) and have had to give up a few luxuries ($45K truck, 2 bikes, expensive vacations, etc) but I am not going hungry and still manage to pay all my bills. So I can not complain.
What does the future hold? I don't know. I miss building homes and if the economy ever improves to pre 2007 levels I may go back to building. I love photography but doing it every day takes the fun out of it.

I work with stuff like this

I...
Where was I, oh yea. I sell used books. I work in a warehouse where we process and store used books. This is my company: Solid Rock LLC. My boss is a bit paranoid so we are not really supposed to take pictures of anything. Just picture an unmarked warehouse behind a plumbing company, and rows of chrome shelves full of books. We probably have 1 million books in the sellable inventory, not including what has not been processed yet or has been rejected. Bigest benefit of the job is I get free books and have really cool coworkers/bosses.
