    The time argument again... Those 18 dollar an hour jobs are far and few between now. Places that used to pay that well have figured out they don't need to now with all the companies movin overseas. Everyone knows going into this your not getting hourly pay.

    We all know that, I'm just giving numbers as a hypothetic. In Atlanta, Ga dock workers at most companies make that or more. You can't ship dock workers jobs over seas and these jobs are not that hard to find. For the money you can't beat it.
     
    mje Thanks this.

    Talk about $14 per load, a family friend went to work driving a dump truck hauling rock and his pay was $10 per load and I told him he could not make a living getting paid $10 per load but he's running 17 loads per day, WOW, the first year he made $54,000 so I had to eat my words....

    Wages in big cities don't count, cost of living is way higher out there.

    If you got 5k, become an o/o with your own authority. If you have connects in the industry, you can make nearly 160k your first yr.,,,that's if you are a hustler.. Big country

    For god's sake, Southeastern freight lines pay the same in Atlanta Ga as they do system wide. Check your facts, the cost of living in Charlotte NC is higher than Atlanta and as well in Mooresville NC. Go to your Government Weights and Standards and you will find that small town USA is often higher than big Cities. If you want to pick a fight go fight some idiot, I don't have time to mess with you dude.
     
    mje Thanks this.
