GTA local hourly rates are garbage

guys that haul asphalt is by the hour owner ops that haul dirt or gravel get paid by the ton or the load hopefully the boss doesn’t push you to rush because one bad accident and there goes your driving career

 

seems good? is this on payroll? what company? let me get a job too!

 

one thing i hated when i had my own truck doing asphalt was the long days never knowing when you were done . getting up at 430am and getting home at 9pm sucked . then you work nights and you might only work 6 hrs . i don’t miss it one bit and at $78 a hr with fuel prices going up my dad is not making any money

 

No.

 

Okay go pay a million for a house in a gta subdivision

 

I hauled gravel for a few months when I came off long haul. It’s ok but you have to take your breaks as it is monotonous. I told boss pound salt when he said take your break when loading. Only complete A holes rush their employees. Pay was 16 per hour plus benefits in ‘94
I despised the truckS as they
had no air ride on cab, Hope that’s not your case, took November lay-off and went to hauling chips for 3 weeks, then line haul since
The idiots rushing around like maniacs might get one extra load in, or have accidents and go to Flagman school

 

I did 1 day of dump, and got fired for refusing to speed LOL.

Line Haul or not at all.

 

If you guys in the GTA are considering dump trucks or trash, why not look at ready mix ?
There are 4 companies that pay $28 hr to start, $29 after probation and after 2 years $33.*
Just need a DZ, and be able drive stick.
Time and a half after 8 hrs a day, and all day on saturday, double time after 9:00 pm. Dental,drugplan ,vision and a pension plan.

I can tell you the downsides if you are interested, too

*the current top rate, if you start now the top rate in 2 years will be about $35hr
