What do you do for a living? (s2kAtTracks)
But, Right now I working at Coleman American Moving Services as Port Manager.
Which involves getting all the freight(military household goods) into containers(40 and 45ft) that go overseas. Shipments are loaded into what is called a Standard. Which is just a large wooden crate, normal size is, 87" long, 87-89" tall and 44-48" wide. Which is 190 to 205 cube feet, the "standard" size.
So, After the movers have loaded the shippers belongs into how ever many crates it takes, I work up a struff sheet give it to my forklift driver and he loads the containers. In a 40' container you can get 10 standards, and in a 45' you can get 11. So, Its just a big puzzle really.
But, It is in no means what I am going to do forever. Doing it because a job I moved back to VA fell threw, after I was already moved back. But, I might be getting that job now, So I am pretty happy. My interview is on the 5th of Feb. That company is Fastenal, Would be outside sales. Want to do that for 4-5 yrs while I am taking classes for a Business Management Degree.
I'm 22, So starting classes a little late, but I have been working alot and trying to decide what I want to do. I think Management of some type is what I want to do, As thats what I have been doing for the past 3 yrs aways.
Ok, Sorry for the long reply

Yea, I have been getting Management experience so to say so, I dunno It will all work out.
I do like the job for the freedom I have. I am online looking at stuff for like 3 or 4 hrs a day
Only thing is, Advancement is not good at this company.
My dad is a Regional Manager for this company. I mean he makes great money, but What he does is not what I want to do. Now if I could get a Regional type spot with Fastenal, I would like that...
Oh well, Such is life
