You’ll see your family. Everyday. I drive trucks. My old man drove for this company before they was called republic for 20 years. You’ll see your family all the time and this job ain’t as difficult or time consuming as this guy is making it seem.

That’s what people don’t realize. These aren’t 12 hr/days occasionally. It’s 5-6 days, for years on end. Sure you could make decent money if the company doesn’t pull one over on you. Even with that.

I really love this idea of videos dude keep asking as many different occupations this as you can, some people may be rude but there’s a lot that’ll be happy to give guidance to others interested in their field of work!!
This has been a highpaid job for long time, I remember in 2008 these guys were like laughing at the economic turmoil, there is security in jobs like this cause society always needs these jobs. A neighbor of mine when I grew up, retired from this job and has two houses, nice cars, and full pension retirement benefits.
By any chance do you know how good pension is a month. I’m about to get on with recology. I’m 34 and if I take this offer most likely end of staying permanent of course if I don’t get terminated.
I work 830 am to 430pm get paid by the day no matter how early we get off and if it rains the whole week we only go in Saturday and still get paid for the whole week
You should get 2- 1hr breaks. I worked for a company and we worked 5-12 hour shifts and on fridays we would work 13-14 so we would have the weekend off and rest up and enjoy time with family. Our company offered us 2-1 hour breaks and rule #1 don’t be late! I couldn’t believe how many people would beg for a job and then get fired a couple weeks after being hired for being 10-30 minutes and always with a different excuse.
I drive a water truck for $40 an hour and all I have to do is drive around construction sites spraying dirt with water. Full medical, 401k, retirement plan and most important part is non union 👍
i do garbage in seattle. High turn over because people get fired for hitting to much shit, damage 3 things in a 12 month period. Fired. If they like you, they can bring you back but you’re on probation for 12months. (hit another thing) hours depend on the route, my shops union. New guys are cover drivers, different route everyday. Someone calls in sick that’ll be your job for the day.
Nobody ever said they want to be the trash man in high school but once you get that pay check and you can buy the things you want. Being the trash man is all 👍

I'm a CDL Class A driver. I hauled trash in the tractor trailer division of my previous employer. It was my first CDL job. I made $25.00 dollars an, plus overtime. Working 12 hours a day becomes arduous after a while. Getting up at 3AM and not leaving until 5PM wears you out. Currently I haul mail for a private contractor. I work work 12 hours overnight, 4 days a week. My route is permanent. I make $29.00 an hour. I left my previous employer due to dealing with the landfill idiots.
I just got my cdl and I’m currently 20 looking for any opportunities. Is it true you have to be 21 or older to operate these garbage trucks?? I got a call from one of the recruiters saying that I have to be 21 or older:/
Bay Area offers good money. I was offered 50 an hour as water plant operator but turned it down cuz I don’t like going to the bay area but they offer good money
They didn’t tell you that they start you on a garbage truck and it takes years to get to the rolloff service though if you want to do rolloff service you have to have seniority
There are companies that only do roll off services though. So there’s that. Like recycling companies strictly or even companies that remove contaminated dirt from construction sites. Pretty diverse.
Every job I’ve had, had a dude just like this. Just a cool laid back guy that is probably very good at his job, but doesn’t act like he’s anything special. I’m thinking back as I type, and can see each of their faces. Funny how there are only like 10 different personality types.

This what they don’t tell the young dudes who decide not to go to trade school or to college and try and take what they think is the “easy way” out. A kid going from high school to a CDL job similar to this is in for a RUDE awakening.

It not hard. Just a lot of overtime. It’s easy to make six figures with a cdl. Cuz almost all of them have overtime. Assuming some are top pay like he says. at 28+5= 33 an hour 33(rate)x40(standard week)= 1,320x52 (weeks a year)= 68,640 just in base 40 hours a week. Now we apply OT he’s says 12 hours So 60 hours a week and 20 hours of overtime. 49.50x20=990(OT)+1320(base)= 2310 a week gross which is 120,120 a year at that average.
RS hauls for the Foundry I work at. For our location they’re required to have CDL A with Hazmat endorsements. Due to the higher weights and hazardous materials in some of the loads. It’s not uncommon for their drivers to start off with a new CDL and eventually leave to become owner operators with their own MC authority. The best drivers learn to work for themselves.
I like that guy you can tell he's a no-nonsense kind of guy and I like when the RUclipsr says "that's it??" and then he says "yeah". -you basically just have to want to work.
I just got a call from the company saying that you have to be 21 or over which Is crazy. I just got my cdl and they told me that I can be a trash worker and once I turn 21 I can operate the trucks
I make $31/hr as well as over time. Pick our own routes every day and work 4 days a week. Usually make around $90k a year. There’s money to be made in these less than glamorous jobs.

$35 an hour for 8 hours, and then time in a half for the other 4 hours at $52, that’s 20 hours of Ot a week, which comes out to $2440 gross every week and 126k a year!!
$35/hr x 12 hrs at 5 day work week with 52 weeks is $109,200 without overtime pay, which is another $18,200. Who the hell wants to to work that much though.

This has been a highpaid job for long time, I remember in 2008 these guys were like laughing at the economic turmoil, there is security in jobs like this cause society always needs these jobs. A neighbor of mine when I grew up, retired from this job and has two houses, nice cars, and full pension retirement benefits.
Exactly!
By any chance do you know how good pension is a month. I’m about to get on with recology. I’m 34 and if I take this offer most likely end of staying permanent of course if I don’t get terminated.
5 through 5 is rough. I've worked 12 hours and I don't recommend it. I weld on 10 hour shifts now and that's pretty long too.
Ya I can’t stand 12 hour shifts. I worked as a blowmold technician at a potting factory for a year doing 7pm-7am. Worst year of my life 😂
I work 830 am to 430pm get paid by the day no matter how early we get off and if it rains the whole week we only go in Saturday and still get paid for the whole week
For a 12hr shift I better be getting a full hour of lunch.
That or atleast 4, 20 minutes breaks throughout my shift.
I do 12s and I get an hour and a half lunch
You should get 2- 1hr breaks. I worked for a company and we worked 5-12 hour shifts and on fridays we would work 13-14 so we would have the weekend off and rest up and enjoy time with family. Our company offered us 2-1 hour breaks and rule #1 don’t be late! I couldn’t believe how many people would beg for a job and then get fired a couple weeks after being hired for being 10-30 minutes and always with a different excuse.

I work 12s sometimes, but I’m at UPS , and we get 30 minutes paid, and unpaid with a total of an hour. I’d imagine they do the same.

What company if you don't mind me asking?
BS you do
You should thank the Teamsters that you make 40 an hour, because they brought the wages up for all truckers. Including you scabby fucks.
i do garbage in seattle. High turn over because people get fired for hitting to much shit, damage 3 things in a 12 month period. Fired. If they like you, they can bring you back but you’re on probation for 12months. (hit another thing)
hours depend on the route, my shops union. New guys are cover drivers, different route everyday. Someone calls in sick that’ll be your job for the day.
12 hours a day is inhumane
Used to be illegal until recently too.
It's fine if you need a distraction and have bills to pay

What company was that???
It's cause CDL drivers are some of the most fucked over people in the country. Terrible hours, no pay during federally required rests, etc
there is not a so-called CDL shortage. issues are that drivers are tired of working 14 hours a day and driving in 11 hours and not making hardly over 200 dollars

A kid going from high school to a CDL job similar to this is in for a RUDE awakening. It’s very physically demanding, consequences for making mistakes are huge, working “normal” or “regular” hours won’t get you paid like you think they will, etc. 12 hours is basically you’re entire day…

Just wondering how they got 100k out of 35 an hr.. I'm not the sharpest crayon in the box but I'm pretty sure that's almost 73k a yr.. before taxes!
He can't math.... 28 plus 5 isn't 35 either.
Overtime 60 hours a week He’s making in a week 2450 times 4 is 9800 and times that by 12 is 117600 a year
Overtime ..
It not hard. Just a lot of overtime. It’s easy to make six figures with a cdl. Cuz almost all of them have overtime.
Assuming some are top pay like he says. at 28+5= 33 an hour
33(rate)x40(standard week)= 1,320x52 (weeks a year)= 68,640 just in base 40 hours a week. Now we apply OT he’s says 12 hours
So 60 hours a week and 20 hours of overtime.
49.50x20=990(OT)+1320(base)= 2310 a week gross which is 120,120 a year at that average.

RS hauls for the Foundry I work at. For our location they’re required to have CDL A with Hazmat endorsements. Due to the higher weights and hazardous materials in some of the loads.
It’s not uncommon for their drivers to start off with a new CDL and eventually leave to become owner operators with their own MC authority.
The best drivers learn to work for themselves.
That's probably in an area with a high cost of living. Try making that much doing that in Alabama.
I like that guy you can tell he's a no-nonsense kind of guy and I like when the RUclipsr says "that's it??" and then he says "yeah".
