Re: Any Body Want a Gig?

Guess that "Experienced truckie/roadie with people skills wanted for road manager role" doesn't have the same ring to it.
 
Re: Any Body Want a Gig?

Reminds me of a "sound engineer wanted" thing a few years back. Duties were to drive the truck, load in, set up and tune the system, load out and drive again. The band would mix themselves from the stage.
 
Re: Any Body Want a Gig?

I find it interesting that the model wants someone to drive the truck on top of all the other responsibilities that include DOT compliance. After all the other compensated activity of the tour manager, he would have no hours of service left to drive. She's asking him to break the regulations she insists he be the compliance officer of...

The word for such work is "exploitation" and the word for the person who sets this up, regardless of gender, is "asshole."
 
Re: Any Body Want a Gig?

I will take care of all the management aspects for a flat annual salary of $250000. Don't worry about the CDL, I will be subcontracting that part of a job to a specialist.
