    There was a time not too many years ago I would have loved to make that much. Work brother, you will make it.

    I very much agree he should be making more.He'll probably be working in the shop more then driving.Pay should differ from driving and shop work.

    Actually depending on hours & so he could probably earn upwards of 35K a year. Most asphalt companies pay overtime.now that I think about it, it's not as bad as I thought.

    $14 hr is WAY better than $8 hr sewing 40 hrs week. I get more exercise driving than i did sitting at a sewing machine or computer all day.
    And it sure beats being a WallyWorld door greeter...part time only.
    Try living on $750 a month social security... because i didnt work outside home for 20 years...stay at home home mom and raised my kids. ( and did the painting, plumbing, yardwork and general maintance as well....)thats all I can get a month. So an $800 week paycheck driving is great.

    Where did you get the $800 per week number from? You may have to go back to sewing.

    So for all you negative navies out there. I'm 25 years old and work part time only 35 hours a week pulling in about 2k a month on shop pay. I rarely drive and when I do I don't care how much I make right now bc this company is reaching out there hand to help me. And since I work from 4pm to about 12am it's not a bad gig. Especially since my other I job I bring in 3000 every 2 weeks. So I'm averaging about 8000 a month. And once I go full time I make 19hr as a driver or percentage. So hate if you want to put my bills are paid and I'm happy at work. And thanks to everyone out there being positive and reassuring
     
    HotH2o and BrianE Thank this.
