All the schooling is scaring me though[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

It's been 21+ years since I've been in school[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
Go for it man! With all the development going on it's a good career move. Salary over 120K I think. Beats the beat pay I think. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Figure about 10 years, I think to get your PE. But you already did college right? So you would probably be able to get through in 2 or 3 years if they count the stuff you already did. But I don't know. I'll have to ask the boss how long you have to be an EIT before you can test for the PE. His son is going for Structural. Grad. Cal Poly. Then you get your EIT (Engineer in Training). They have to work under a Structural, get their Civil PE, then go for their Structural PE. At least that's my understanding.

Skinner was out after ugly hour? Must have been massaging mothers bunions (sp?).[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Wow, it actually sprinkled today. Didn't quite wet the whole ground, but we'll take what we can get.

Glad to see that you are honest. Mine are real, too.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
1)it really is a rhetorical question. they're both fine, regular or bolt-on. how can you complain if yer playin with either set.
2)mine are real too, but require a manzier. it really is time for me to shed the loose parts and get into hockey playing shape. been too long.

They posted a hitch weight of 160 lbs on a 7800 lb trailer. That'll fly. I assumed a typo and figured maybe 1600. At that weight that's like 20%...of a loaded tag trailer. That's 5er territory there. The numbers are NOT adding up. I asked them to post the Safety Certificate and the tag on the cabinet door. They posted the safety cert, but not the inside sticker. I'm sorry, but I don't see an 11,000 GVWR TH weighing 5300 with water and gas. The water weight alone is 800-1000 lbs depending on what size tank it has. The poster said 130 in another post, but Eclipse says it's 106. There's no way that trailer only weighs 4000lbs!

If I'm right on something I see a 12500(d) violation too. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
That's not even close to being 10-15% of the trailer weight. Not a sufficient amount of weight on the hitch. Must 've been a typo like you said. If they make a 5300/4000 lb trailer with water and gas[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] They wouldn't be able to keep up with the demand. The 1/2 ton owners would eat that trailer up[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I don't follow you on the 12500(d) sectiion. No person shall drive a motor vehicle or combination of vehicles, that is not of a type for which the person is licensed.

Unfortuantely, all my schooling is in the wrong field[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] It depends which avenue I want to go. I have 2 great mentors[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] So, right now it's up to me[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
