    Good pay is starting at 18 plus an hour, and OT at time and a half. I figure over 50 grand first year.

    They are union here too, and it is good money. Is a6 plus an hour not good? Are you replying to another post or my last?

    Does anyone know what the pay is for a starting residential driver in the Houston area? Also curious what the top out pay is.

    Thanks

    Well I had an AWESOME face to face interview. I hope to get a very good call next Monday to start a background check and then a physical. Here in NJ WM residential drivers start at 18.33 but I doubt its the same in Houston.

    Thanks, I can't believe I'm this close. I have applied 1 million times to them but not a sniff but all of a sudden I'm extremely close to being hired. I LOVED the vibe of the yard when I went for the interview. A nice, sort of relaxed atmosphere in the yard. I did not ask the top rate or how long it takes to get there but I imagine its 25 an hour?

    Oh no, just a nice shirt and khakis was suggested and they said NO jeans, that was from HR. To be honest I think I could of worn jeans and got away with it. I don't think the guys in the yard care one bit. Oh and the yard is less than 5 minutes from my house! I love that!
