I just applied with them, curious how much vacation do they offer? My current job is with a very small private fleet and they only offer 2 weeks PTO.
Plus when there is a holiday you have to work the scheduled day before and after the holiday in order to get paid for the holiday, or use a day of vacation day. Unfortunately most holidays there won't be any deliveries going out the day before or the day after, so we are forced to use our vacation days in order to get paid for the holiday.
I don't like being forced to use my PTO when I don't have plans, especially since we only get 2 weeks. -

So my good run here may be coming to an end, I still haven't decided yet. I was given a formal offer for a company called Nalco Water, a division of Ecolab, hauling chemicals in bulk. They pay all hourly, starting at $30/hr with OT after 40, up to $33/hr after training is complete, 60 hrs a week max. New equipment and an extremely organized, by the book company. It sounds like a very good deal.
If I take the job it will not be an easy move. I've really enjoyed working for Venezia. They leave you alone, maintain their equipment, have no problem getting me home when I need to be, pay very well (and pay you for everything you do), pay for any and all detention, and are just nice people to work for. I've been re-routed a few times leaving Massachusetts to go to Philly. I made it halfway back and have been turned around to go north to Warren PA. They would drop a pin where I turned around and pay me the entire trip instead of just from A to B. I've been making between $1,800 and $2k a week running 25-2,800 miles. This is the easiest best paying job I've ever had. I really can't think of any downsides. I hope I'm not making a bad move.Last edited: Dec 16, 2021

For what it's worth, and simply my opinion, but if you're as happy as you are with Venezia, and they treat you that well, is it really worth it to make the move based solely on that hourly wage? I live in Florida so I can't vouch for the cost of living in PA, but the money you're making at Venezia is excellent. I've been with my employer for almost 7 year this time, I worked for them prior so I have nearly 10 years with them, I don't make anything near those numbers but my equipment is new, my customers are familiar, and some of them I consider friends, and the company as a whole treats me well, that's worth a lot to me. We all have different priorities, but the numbers at the new company wouldn't be enough to entice me away from a really good living and a company that truly cares about me.

Had a coworker apply to Nalco and man they are by the book according to his assessment very strict on certain things he ended up declining the offer didn’t feel comfortable being watched like a hawk.
