For the last couple of weeks I've had this train of thought in my head, it's become so long I've split it into three separate posts. Za posledných pár týždňov som mal to myšlienok v mojej hlave, to sa tak dlho som je rozdelená do troch samostatných pracovných miest. At the end you'll probably think that train derailed into a horrible wreck, but here it goes. Na konci budete pravdepodobne myslia, že vlak vykoľajil v hrozný vrak, ale tu to ide.
Believe it or not, I haven't been driving for that long. Verte tomu alebo nie, ja som nebol s vozidlom tak dlho. Back in late 1998 for circumstances I won't go into I went to a technical college for six weeks and got my CDL, signed up at a "puppy mill", survived all the BS and finally, I think I'm doing pretty well at the moment. When I read this article it reminded me of the enthusiasm, excitement and the frustration of starting a new career. Plus the excitement that Späť na konci roka 1998 za okolností Nebudem zachádzať do Išiel som na technickej škole po dobu šiestich týždňov a mám CDL, zaregistrovaný u "šteňa mlyn", prežila všetky BS a nakoniec si myslím, že robím docela dobre v súčasnej dobe. Keď som čítal tento článok, že mi pripomínala nadšenie, vzrušenie a frustráciu začína novú kariéru. Plus vzrušenie, ktoré Cindy Cindy has for driving has reminded me of my own excitement when I started. má pre riadenie je mi pripomenul moje nadšenie, keď som začal.
Even though these articles are usually propaganda put out by large company recruiters, this is pretty good. I keď sa tieto články sú zvyčajne propaganda vyháňaní veľké firmy náboru, to je docela dobré.
Revving up a new career Stupňovania novú kariéru
LAKE CITY – Annette Niles loves her new career and proudly showed off her office – a shiny red truck – a monstrous, top-of-the-line Volvo road cab with leather interior, bunk beds, color TV, refrigerator and satellite capability. LAKE CITY - Annette Niles miluje svoju novú kariéru a hrdo predvádzal svoje kancelárie - lesklý červený kamión - monštruózne, top-of-the-line Volvo cesty kabíny s kožený interiér, palandy, farebnou televíziou, chladničkou a satelitnej kapacity.When the course ended, national recruiters stood in line to offer her a high-paying job. Keď sa kurz skončil, národné personalistov stál v línii ponúknuť jej vysoko-platiť práce.
High paying??? Dobre platená?? It's not bad and it beats working in fast food. Nie je to zlé, a to bije práca v rýchle občerstvenie. But I wouldn't try and support a family first starting out, I didn't even support a car or an apartment when I started. Ale ja by som sa pokúsiť, a podporovať rodinu na prvé začínate, som si ani podporu auto alebo byt, keď som začal. When I started I did think it was pretty cool to have so many job choices waiting for me. Keď som začal som si, že to bolo docela v pohode, že sa toľko pracovných možností na mňa čaká. Between the recruiters at school and all the free "trade" (recruiting) magazines at truck stops the hiring process was a lot different than what I was used to. Medzi personalistov v škole a všetok voľný "obchod" (nábor) časopisy na kamión sa zastaví proces najímanie úplne inak, než to, čo som bol zvyknutý.
…Out on the road for five weeks at a time, Niles has never been happier. ... Na ceste po dobu piatich týždňov v čase, Niles nebol nikdy šťastnejší.

Five weeks? Päť týždňov? That's a long time leaving your family behind and most trucking companies know this, but don't do anything about it. To je dlhá doba opustenie svojej rodine za sebou a väčšina nákladnú dopravu vedia, ale nemajú nič robiť. Besides that, I thought it was great traveling around and being paid for it!

This job is definitely sink or swim and the companies don't care if you get frustrated and quit because there's more where you came from.

That's what everyone says, but more likely she'll quit and look for something else. To, čo kto hovorí, ale skôr to bude ukončená a hľadať niečo iné. If it wasn't for the children, her husband could quit his job and join her in her "high paying" career. Keby to nebolo pre deti, nemôže jej manžel opustil jeho zamestnania, a pripojiť ju do "dobre platená" kariéru. All this sounds good, but soon the reality hits that this is no way to have a family and drive at the same time. To všetko znie dobre, ale čoskoro realita hity, že to nie je spôsob, ako mať rodinu a riadiť súčasne.

I remember giving my cowboy uncle a framed poster of two gnarled and beaten cowboys, each resting one foot up on a fence rail, chewing on straw. Spomínam si, dal môjmu strýkovi kovboj zarámovaný plagát dve sukovité a zbit kovboji, každý odpočíva jedna noha sa na ohrady, žuvanie na slame. In the background a riderless, saddled horse bucked uncontrollably. V pozadí bez jazdca, osedlal kone klauzulím vzoprel nekontrolovateľne. One cowboy, taking the straw from his mouth and brushing the dirt from his face with a bandanna, says to the other, “There's a few things they never did tell me 'bout when I signed on with this-here outfit.” Jeden kovboj, pričom slama z úst a kefovanie špinu z tváre šatkou, hovorí ostatným: "Je tu pár vecí, ktoré nikdy tell me 'bout keď som bola podpísaná dňa s týmto-tu partia."
