First off, remember I'm 18, in H.S..

 

not much more pizza driving? well, not that my car saw much of it anyway. My dad let me use the "errand-runner" of the family form most the pizza duty(94 Sentra). So my BMW saw less city drving that you east coast guys, maybe an average of 35 pizza miles a week.

 

BUT, I just got an offer to be a shift manager at another store. but here is the delimma:

 

NOW:

mostly all delivery driving

base pay: 5.50/hr

after tips, etc:

avg 10.0/hr weekdays, 11.50/hr weekends

 

If I take it:

occasional driving(when we are short handed, in a rush, or just occasionally)

base pay: 7.00/hr(plus tips, etc whenever I do drive)

more hours

 

 

So basically, if I take it, I'll take a bit of a paycut, unless I'm driving then my tips&base average will go up 1.50 an hour

base pay, BUT no more chance of "pizzaing" the Bimmer. Plus, I'd have managorial experience. I'm thinking I'll go for it.

 

I don't have a chance of searching for a non-driving job until July(b/c of the trip to Indy), and I'm out of school May 20, so this would hold me over if I didn't like it, instead of driving full-time for 1.5+ months.

I'd explain the decision to the manager that offered you the job just the way you explained it here. To hear an 18 yr old student think like you have shown here shows alot of maturity. I think you may be able to get maybe another 50 cents or so. If not, you tried. Either way I'd take the oppertunity. BTW everyone hates the manager. JK :D

I've always thought that if you ever get a chance to manage people....you should take it.

:D

I did that for two years in 2001 and 2002 when I worked for ValleyFair in the Twin Cities (Minnesota) as a Team Leader. The experience that I gained there will most likely last me a lifetime. Not to mention working with and being around a bunch of hot foreign chicks who know a limited amount of English and looked up to me to "guide" them. :crackup:hump.gif:D

 

Seriously though, you should take the promo. :crackup::cool:

I just received the folling advice from a Bimmer board.

 

well considering i am in the same dilema(trying to get a geo storm running to prevent pizza miles on the bimmer) i believe myself to be an expert in this field, i have driven, been a shift lead, even a GM in the pizza biz, nothing is better than delivery, every other job in the pizza industry sucks, get a pos car to drive to save the bimmer and stay on the road, you will regret moving into pizza management

 

I guess I should take this, then in July, maybe try to get that job seeling cars?

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Some Assembly is Required

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.
