Oh really, is he a Pipe Welder, or a MIG welder?

Mig

He worked for tremcar for nearly 40 years till they shut down their plant in Toronto got like 240k as severance

My dad dropped out of school in gr 6 yet was making the famed coli six figures for the past ten years before they shut down

I applied for Welding jobs, but if you don't got the certs, they only pay you like $11/hr :hhh:. So I'm back in Trucking until I get all my certs to command a higher pay. Won't be long, might be in like 5 months

Tryna be a Pipe Welder and TIG welder, most likely in fabrication
Austal USA out in Mobile passes out certs and pays 27-30 an hour for welders, over 3-4000 employees. Honestly if you live near a port, you will always have plenty of jobs. @IbucciMane! you should look into a welding apprenticeship

How do you do both trucking and learning how to weld?

I thought with trucking you'd be gone for days.

And I didn't know you could get certs for welding, I thought it was trade school or apprenticeship.

I'm a local Truck Driver, I got enough experience where I don't have to go over the road anymore. I'm home every night

And yeah I'm in Welding trade school, I take night classes

I don't mind moving for that money

Yeah I'm testing for a 3G plate, stick welding, after I'll take my 4G

My goal is to get a 6G cert in Stick pipe welding and TIG pipe welding
Salute. That 6G ain’t no joke.

I inspect the welding thing hat guys do on repairs for boats and barges. So I just gotta learn about the common imperfections and shii in welds.

Stay on your grind man if you get good at this shii the $$ is yours. There’s a shytty ass welder in the shipyard we go to and he makes hella bread bc he’s the only one out there they can hire
