How can you be an equipment operator and get paid under the table? Who foots the bill when you run someone over or have your nuts blasted off by TNT?

You need insurance, so what kind of backwoods redneck company you working for? Or maybe I misunderstood and you are covered?

When i was 13, and 14 i would work odd jobs for my neighbor across the street. Mainly feeding goats and horses, and shovelin there crap. It wasn't bad, and I didn't work alot so i had a lot of free time. Got paid 7 dollars an hour, which for that age was pretty good. Now i'm unemployed and got no income and it sucks. I wish i was young again!

mikey,


Ya they treated me well while I was there . Great pay , great benefits and awesoem bonuses . I enjoyed the people I had worked with , but ever since I got hurt , the people I worked with have started quitting and now there's only 1 girl remaining from the original bunch that started there 5 years ago . If I want , I can go back to work with Royal ... the option is still there... but I think I'm going to move on and find myself something else instead . I've been offered jobs with the local dealerships around town ( Yamaha , Honda and Bombardier) , so I'll see what comes out of it .

If you ever have the chance to work for Royal , I'd recommend it ... it taught me a lot of things that I'll be able to bring to another job . And ya .. the Guelph store is massive 55 000 square feet . :eek2: Keep an eye out for the Barrie and Sudbury store ... they're both getting some nice facelifts in the near future . :cool:

Yea guess I can tell yall mine too. lol I work at a lil atv shop in Cleveland, Texas called Rage ATV Racing. We currently build Natalie's engines plus a few others so Im sure you guys have heard of us. I do everything from build motors to work on walk-in bikes, just not porting...Dee handles that. lol Not a bad job and I make 27.50/hr commission so I bring home a good paycjeck each week. Only downfall is that Dee gets to go to all the GNC's since he's Johns mechanic and I have to stay and open up the shop lol
