Which of these 2 driving jobs should i take

And that's why they are on salary PLUS comission. If you do nothing you get the minimum and when you produce you can make 65k...I'm all over that all day long. That job would look better on your resume any day of the week over doing general freight.

 

What is is you want?
On operating a vacuum truck there is also experience that could count in some industries some time in the future.
IMO a bit of psychical exercise that you are been paid for is a perk.
To many OTR drivers suffering health problems because of no exercise and no free time to get some.
As stated by mgfg with the vacuum truck you will also likely be treated better.
If your heart is set on OTR then Big Don is correct that the vacuum job wont count for much.
I think that with a vacuum truck you may be exposed to a verity of different locations and industries.
It is out of exposure to these diverse things that opportunity arises.
All depends what you are looking for.

 

I would take the Vacuum truck job.
Thats just me.
Something a bit different to what everyone els does.
Earnings also depend more on your own performance.

 

Here is another thing to consider...week 1 start at noon...week 2 start at midnight...week 3 start at mid afternoon. Can you handle the wear and tear on your sleep pattern. That could be a killer of a schedule over a period of time. Do you have any idea what the hours per week would be? With any amount of OT it could be very good. Figure the avg amount of OT to get your weekly pay for each week then divide the nbr of hours into it for avg pay per hour. How does that compare to the first job?

Both jobs have good and bad points, tough call, but its your call.

Good luck from a ol PA (Doylestown) boy.

 

That is one CLEAN sewer sucking service truck! Must not have been put into service yet. I'll take the freight job over rancid grease traps anyday, just my personal choice.Been there,done that.

 

+1 on that!
