Can i open my own lumper service as a comp. Drivers and charge my com. Lumper fees??

Oh stop whining. You know what I do for a job? I carry 400lb dressers down flights of stairs. By hand, I pack that trailer from the floor to the ceiling, wall to wall, front to back. Next time you see one of those big trucks that say UNITED across the side, I fill every inch of it by hand. 1,500 boxes of flowers would be the easiest day I've ever had at work. What's a box weigh, maybe 10-20lbs at most? And at .18/box, that's still $270. To make that, I'd need to work a 14 hour shift. And we're not even counting your pay for driving. Man up.

Now that that rant is over, yeah, you can run a business being a lumper. Just, be ready to do what I do, because I'm who hires lumpers, because I don't want to unload that thing, that stuff is heavy.

 

You must be a troll because you can't be serious.

It appears that you have been a driver for 2 years. You are lucky to have a job and now you want to repeal deregulation because it was so good in the old days? Hate to be the one to tell you this but maybe you should have researched your career choice a little better. You're still an apprentice. I hear the burger flippers and the coffee makers are trying to get organized. Maybe you should quit now because, it's going to be a loooooong career pal.

EDIT: And FWIW, as a flower hauler that gets $275 for unloading himself, I imagine you are the envy of many a produce hauler. Something tells me you wouldn't handle rejected loads and long waiting times very well.
