That would be fun but I'm a local driver now. Get to ride everyday. I did meet a driver about 6 years ago that had a custom lift on the back of a peterbuilt. Took his Harley everywhere he went.

I was an Administration/People manager working for a department that administers entitlements etc to the Defence Force.

Loved the job, was always flat out, but took a big promo and packed the family up and moved there, still loved but I was working stupid hours, 14 hours in the office, then come home and log in and keep working, 6 days a week, Sunday would come around and I would sleep!

Decided life wasnt just about Money and I wanted to spend time with my family, you cant buy time or go back and get those moments back, jst happy I worked all that out at a younger age than most!

I currently work as a detention aid at the county jail. All it is is controlling all the doors in the jail and radio communications, as well as handling the public and inmate records. Hopefully, in a short while I shall be transferred over to the county dispatch. I'll be the 911 guy! Haha. I'm coming from about 4 years training and experience doing firefighting, EMT, and some law enforcement. I used to assist in the teaching of first aid for law enforcement personal, nursing assistants, advanced EMT for EMT's, and fire tactics and safety. I placed 11th in the state for fire fighting, and the following years I personally trained and sent 2 students who placed 1st and 2nd in the state and 31st in nationals.

Next month I'll be 20! :D
