Industrial Trailer. They rent trailers (45-53 ft. semi trailers) to companies who then store stuff in the trailers. They had a huge yard with all the trailers, and I would basically do maintenance.

Sweep out trailers
Paint entire trailer. (Only did it a couple times but it sucked ass)
Scrape and prime rusted metal around read doors
Tar roofs where cracks were
Attach industrial trailer signs to the trailers


They also rented out those big cargo boxes you see on ships. I had to paint and clean up those suckers also.

I think I got $8 and hour and this was probably 8 or so years ago.

Worked good hours. 8-4:30 and got to be outside and get a tan all summer long. Not much supervision because I was trusted to do good work and basically got to work on my own fixing up the trailers.
