What would you do ?

I was looking at inter county milk transport also they’re union 85-100k a year but it seems like milk hauling is a 365 a day job . Yes i want to make more money but having no life because your always working isn’t much of one either. Kriska owns Transport N service,Liberty Line haul Round the Lake ,mill creek , trans pro and a couple others . transport N and Liberty only pay $26-26.50 a hr i just looked and that’s not much better then what i make now but i’m only averaging 10-10.5 hrs a day and you would need to work at least 12 hrs a day or more at the other companies to make a decent wage at those rates

I’ve heard round the lake guys are like $30 a hr but no one seems to be hiring right now anyways and there would have to be a position available for me to move over


I would have loved to make that 75k a year guaranteed plus bonuses and Mike said ot also if wanted . I’m not the job hopping type and knowing how difficult it is to find a good company in southern ontario who treats you like a human being with respect. I’m not jumping ship on a contract with only 3-4 years left with no future guarantees of a job for a little more money. In my opinion doesn’t make sense , i’m better off looking for a company i know i can grow with and hopefully retire at the end who has many different contracts so there’s alway some kind of work . instead of jumping around from job to job because contracts keep getting lost and getting nowhere. big reason i asking this question here was to get more information from experience hands and i’m glad i did because you saying that you didn’t last long because the job wasn’t what you were told is exactly what i wanted to avoid. Being sold a bunch of bs just to find out i left a decent company just lower paying

 

yup Mark said every driver should make atleast 100k a year but that Market dictates what they can pay . It’s a load of bs especially when they can spend millions buying up companies left and right. The same article where wellington freight recruiter Mike brags about how they pay salaries to their drivers . These companies are all the same in the end it’s just a different name on the trucks door

 

With Sether saying he worked there for a short time and it wasn’t what they told him , it kind of reinsures me that i’m making the right decision. just sucks to lose a guaranteed 75k a year salary, that’s around 13-15k more then what i make and that’s before taxes . At the same time for me it doesn’t make sense to take the job just to find out i got sold a bag of goods and have to find something else

 

that’s exactly what i’m trying to avoid the toxic work environment, it seems like when you find a company paying more then $25 a hr it’s either one thing or the other when you look for reviews online . I understand you always get the disgruntled employees but when it’s over and over again there’s issues. the other problem is not work life balance i have no problem working 12 hrs a day . 14 hrs everyday is a little excessive in my opinion and or being on call not being able to do anything . I would be happy with 80k a year that’s 20k more then now , i’m not asking for the moon just a company who pays well and respects me like a fellow human being not like a piece of equipment
