Go to your local union hall. Usually they have testing every month, or more frequent if its busy, you take the test, and any follow up ones if needed (for the millwrights we had to do one 'can you spell your name' and then one at the college with spatial reasoning, math, etc), then start the apprenticeship. Some locals let you buy your book but this is frowned upon (and normally not even allowed if you don't have relevant trade experience to start with).

That’s a lot easier than in ny. I slept outside the union hall from a Friday night to Monday morning just for an application. Then started the apprenticeship a year later

Full time firefighter with 17 years on the job. 24 hours on, 48 hours off. Part-time warehouse manager on my days off. I also own a lawn and landscape service I do on the weekends. Plus I'm a full time dad of 2 kids. So that makes me a very part-time reefer with hours usually between 8pm and 10pm:)

I'm in sales and manage FMC (Federal Maritime Commission) contracts for a major ocean carrier. I helped move 10s of thousands of containers around the world focusing on US Imports and Exports. Love my job - its so interesting and never the same day. Just got into break bulk and project cargo last year - less containerized stuff and more specialized interesting stuff (like figuring out how to move a 500,000lb transformer across the world).

Buddy, I wont even move steel coils on the rail. You'll be happy to know I'm extra, extra, paranoid. I don't trust shippers to safely lash + block/brace them. Nothing like a 40,000lb coil flying around...

Just last week I convinced someone loading a 20,000lb heat exchanger in an open without lashing it was a bad idea, despite the shipper claiming it had been done multiple times. Hopefully they were able to convince the shipper the same.

What do you mean? We have coil cars for that ;) no lashing or tie down atall, just sit them in the tubs with wood blocking already in and away you go :p we kick those cars all the time, it's fun watching the cars make a joint and seeing all the coils lift up out of the car about a foot then come crashing down:cool:

Oh for sure, but when they come to me they want to use containers (usually 20'DV) and not coil cars...! Coils in standard containers on the rail are not good for me. I have them arrange their own inland transport.

 

[Seawitch]

I'm a witch. Just kidding. I'm a writer <blush>. I work for R2R, and I have one other client, an internet marketing agency, for whom I write the blogs for four businesses. I'm also going to start working shortly as the PT office manager for an investment fund manager who is opening a new office. He made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Since I always work at home, I think it will be a pleasant change to get out of the house a little. I used to be a stock broker, which is what makes me attractive to him. I was a marketing manager for a small oil company for 15 years, selling crude, natural gas, sulphur, and natural gas liquids that we produced.
