Oh…. I thought it was just another pronunciation of p-l-u-m-b-e-r.

Corporate Pirate – buy-em up , slice and dice them and sell off the pieces for a profit.

Try being a welder, still going strong…

one job that will never go away is truck driver i challenge anyone to name one thing that you can buy that was not on a truck at some point

So, Caulfield’s gonna work for the government? What a waste of talent…

Yeah, truck driver! Almost every vehicle on the road now is a tractor trailer imagine what it will be like when Caufield enters the work force!

I hear they’re hiring pillagers, too!

They already have cars that can drive by them self and have had them drive themselves around a few major cities. Just google self driving car.
