    Nope, bulk transport. We load a train, which could be in the middle of nowhere and then take it somewhere else for it to be unloaded. We can do various things, though, sometimes we dont even drive. We have to prepare trains, like join the locomotives with the trucks, remove trucks from other trucks, remove trucks from locomotives, we have to load the trucks or tip the trucks. The company i am employed by usually loads Wheat.

    Attaching/detaching trucks and locomotives is called shunting and takes F O R E V E R, it sucks massive dog collars

    right behind you
    I'm in high school, so I don't have a real job.
    I do bus tables at a restaurant, though. I make $10 an hour cash and I'm /supposed/ to get tips too, but that hasn't been going really well lately.

    I don't work right now. I just left my job 4 months ago, but it's okay : D we get money from the state when we go to school every month, (around 200$ depending on how much your parents make), but it's not nearly enough xD so I better find a job soon 0o

    No job atm...currently a 1st year uni-student - hoping to become a chiropractor in the future :p
    Hopefully I'll get a job over the summer that I enjoy

    I'm glad to hear you enjoy what you do Megiddo - I went to a friend's lecture and was surprised to see only a handful of people were in that program because it was something they enjoyed - the rest are in for the money, even though they may hate it :(
