    Pulling trailers around a yard how much you expect to make a week after taxes? If there anything bad about the job?

    There is a company hiring in Kansas City that is paying $18 to $20 per hour. It is a four day a week shift. 700 to 1900. I did the math in my head and I think that is 4 days of 12 hours. So 40 hours of regular pay and 8 hours of time and a half. At this point, my head hurts so you are going to have to figure out that it works out to $936 - $1040 a week yourself. Plus benefits. The bad part is you have to be home every night. Home cooking just isn't the same as the iron skillet. No salad bar with mamma.

    Do they typically want experience or will just possessing a class a suffice?
