Crete...You think a day off is earned...

1 day off for every 6 days out is pretty standard in this industry...and the office staff doesn't get paid for their day(s) off on the weekend, why should you? Nobody OWES you a #### thing...you've got to earn it.

 

Just wondering for my own info do factory workers get paid weekends off? How about any other job profession? I would love to work for the one that does offer paid days off. All this time I must of been looking in the wrong places...

 

All companies say something along those lines. It's to keep drivers on the road. Most don't enforce that policy unless a driver is taking to much time at home.
That company has to pay for that truck, insurance and all that, It's costing them money sitting in your driveway. SO yes, They will make sure they are maximizing the profits on that truck. Talk to any Owner Op out there, they will tell you the same thing. Time off costs money.

 

you have a lot to learn! About everything!

 

what company pays for days off? i don,t know of any. one day off for every week worked doesn,t mean you get a day off every week in this industry. you most likely be out 3-4 weeks then take 3 days off at one time. in this economy you should be gratefull to have a job. ok..i,ll get off the soapbox lol

 

Dear OP,

I don't think this trucking thing is gonna work out for you.

Might want to get a government job.

 

Or maybe one of them there union jobs, you know, the one's that all but wipe for you.

Sorry, not to upset any of our union members here. I just couldn't resist.
