So tonight, about 20 minutes before my shift was supposed to end, i had an opportunity to make $250. I work on trailer chassis on a railyard and my company only works on certain types of trailers. Well tonight we had a different type of trailer roll through, and i told him that he needed to call his dispatch to get someone to work on it because my company doesn’t do those. Guy calls his dispatch and hands me the phone and I explained to his dispatch the same thing i told him and they said, “ it’s just an air leak, if i pay you $250 to fix it can you do it?”. Of course i took him on his offer and knocked out a simple 3 min fix. Guy paid me and driver was on his way. I still have his phone number so im thinking what if i text him and let him know if he needs more repairs on other trailers that they can come through and ill do them on the spot for a good price. There are over 15,000 trailers so there’s gotta be a couple more. Worth the risk of getting in trouble at work? Can i get in trouble at work? I do trailer repairs on the side already so if i get sacked from my job, i still have that guys contact and can get work from him since i still have access to the yard and i own all my tools and i can make my paycheck in a day based on what they’re paying for air leaks.
