Post  RAT BAG Wed 23 Feb 2011, 3:05 pm

After seeing how well MV worked together to get that bonnet scoop freighted I thought I would see what everyone does for work.
There might be a way that someones profession can help out other people plus im a sticky beak / nosey prick elephant and thought it would be interesting haha.

I am the sales manager / customer service rep for a plywood mill. Basically this means we make plywood and ship it all over Aus.
Any types of plywood from hoop pine and radiator faced ply to formply that formworkers use.
So if you need some wood for your van fit outs I may be able to help out a bit haha

spray painter by trade, injury has seen the end of that, so ive been stuck dealing with workcover for 3 years now. getting somewhere finally. injury is permanent, so will be on the disability pension in the future. so for now, i am getting into para equestrian, rescuing animals in need that jsut find their way here, trying to restore my van, sand it with my feet! doing a bit of left handed art work (i was right handed) and trying to find a path in life to follow. i also have some hours in light aircraft, but cant fly them now, was going to follow that job avenue before i became a spray painter haha.

We now know who to turn to for customised parts vanman,

Another sparky, currently working for Integral Energy as an Elestrician/Linesman, next week we get a new name as the government sold our name when they sold the retail side of the company, you've gotta love the government they sell off the part that makes money and keeps the part that costs money Suspect

After 15 years as a gigalo, i just couldnt take it any longer. Haha, Nah, Im a Highway Heavy Haulage Techniction, or truck driver to most. geek Ive only ever been a driver, carting anything all over aust, from single trailer to triples, flattops to tankers. Until today! Ive just bought my first truck and am about to give it a go as an owner. The mines and gas projects in WA, are providing plenty of work, so time to jump in on the action. Im proud to be able to show my mv family my newest addition, before anyone else. Freightliner Argosy. 110' cab. 140tonne rated. Cat C16 @ 600. 18 speed and 4.56 ratio diffs for all those in the know. Entire driveline is less than 100000kms old, and in truck terms, thats barely run in. Back to pulling triples up north again in about a week.

I did two years of engineering and was sick of being a poor student so I decided to take a year off
studying to get some money and buy a car.I got a job at a bakery as a dish pig and then they started showing me stuff and then after a while I was doing all the pastry work.Thirty years later I have my
own bakery with 15 employees.I work in the kitchen in the morning and sit on my ass in the arvo
surfing the net or playing on my forklift.

Automotive restoration/ sheet metal fabrication.

Do subcontract work for panel shops when they get older cars in. Old school repair with oxy, lead, english wheel, etc etc. If it has plastic bumpers i don't even look at it.
