You think you'll ever go back to tinting? I had the opposite journey of you. I got my CDL, tried OTR & local jobs for a few months and it just wasn't for me. A lot more stressful than I thought it would be and was run ragged on hours, away from home and never had free time to do anything or spend time with loved ones. Tinting has given me the freedom I didn't have before but it can also be stressful at times for different reasons. Hope you have a good 2023.

I doubt I will ever tint for a living again. I’m working on just being part-time retired in the next few years. I am doing food service delivery which is pretty rough, but I’ve fallen in to a good gig that’s paying me pretty well. I work a lot of hours but overall it’s about what I was making tinting without any of the stress of business ownership. I wouldn’t mind maybe tinting a few cars a week, but for now I’m just doing this. Thanks for the well wishes. You too.

You don’t look 280. You must be really tall.

6’5” or so. I’m actually been working on coming down though. I got in to the 290s around 4th of July. Started a new route that wasn’t that much work, just sitting and snacking and pulling an electric Jack. Now I’m back to hustling and watching what I eat so it’s coming off. 3-4 days a week in the gym also. I need to do a shoe update but with the last route I didn’t put much wear and those carhartts have exceeded my expectations and I just can’t retire them.

@@FPSTinter gotcha. I just stared at GFS and my co-worker recommend keen boots and I wanted to see what other food service drivers were saying about them. I feel confident in my Decision to purchase them

So far they are my favorite, but the Carhartt are pretty good for all of the walking. I think what’s been helping is I have hand trucks with pull handles so I’m not pulling it out with my foot. Really seems to same your feet and knees. The only downside is I think I feel it more in my shoulder and elbow on the heavy stacks. Maybe I’ll try and get a video up of the differences. Seems to keep my shoes from getting beat up. We get a boot voucher from redwing and I use it, but for our work I haven’t found a shoe I think is any better than the Keens and they cost more. Good luck with food service. I think it’s a great job to have.

U look like u lost some pounds
