It is also a back breaking job for the new hires and no benefits. It was when I started also but at at least I made FT driver wages after 90 days and full benefits and no weekends or Holidays. Reason I stick around so long is to educate the new guys on how much they are being shorted compared to when I started. New FT drivers take home less working OT then I do working straight time PT. Plus I have 7 weeks paid vacations. But don't forget it could be a $100k/yr job someday.
Not disagreeing it could be better and that PT should be paid more and treated better just saying it's not as horrible as people like to make it out to be.
Let's not forget.. PT is only as hard as you make it. I've never seen any PTer fired for being slow. After they make seniority that is.
