I wouldn't recommend the driver job to anyone, I have recommended several good hardworking people over my 28 year career but no one got hired. Don't know what they are looking for. If you started over its obvious you wouldn't know what your getting into, might be exciting at first with the pay and benefits but the proper old fashion training is gone and to make it you would rely on the senior drivers or wing it the best you can.

Your right its close, they just got a new diad almost the same as ours made by the same company. I believe their routes have doubled and GPS has taken over. They can't scan anything unless they are actually at that stop.

I was hoping for a driver buy out a couple of contracts ago . I would take $300000 cash and my current pension payment with full benefits subtracted from that. Bye yall

This must have been your only job. I can yell you from experience that as bad as it can get here there are lots of jobs that are worse. I would definitely do it again and recommend this job to friends and family.

Yep & maybe.
I'm not here for morale. I'm not here for hugs and walks in the park. I'm here for the best benefits in the country and great money. I don't care what management tries. I'm a Teamster and know my rights. If they get out of line, I get them put them back in line.

As one guy in our building says: only way you'll find a tie around his neck is if the other end is wrapped around a tree branch!
Loved it!

No I wouldn't be that gung hoe. I would get a job like a friend of mine has. He works for the city parks department. He makes 32 bucks an hour with ALL holidays paid off plus enough paid vacation and sick days to only have to work about 4 days a week. He is always off for something. He also has excellent medical/dental/eye coverage. When he does work its spent driving around to our cities 6 parks and emptying a few trash cans. For many years all he did was drive the truck and the city had the sentenced to serve crew do the actual work.

My center manager was on car for an S&V ride last week and he brought up the ERI question "Would you recommend this job....?". We both agreed that the company has changed (on both sides and not for the better) and we both agreed that we would answer that question "no".
Im not qualified for the job. I dont even own a tie.

147,000 in pay and benefits last year. I am high up enough to know how much everything costs. That's a lot of cheese son. Don't ever lose sit of this.

I don't live with regrets, I can only control the controllables. To answer your question would be like answering "Would you have parked there if you knew that car was going to hit you". For those unhappy currently, life is too short, make the best of your job unless it's intolerable, if so quit.
