Ive worked MBM, frankly I was a very expensive worker. 145 pounds no fat, 4 packs a day smoker throwing 48,000 pounds of seafood every day into 4 red lobsters around Jersey and such fighting off thieves.
When you are finished with a stop and have a few hours to the next one, you go in and sit down to a meal. That was fuel for the next stop. I once reckoned my calorie count daily with 4 meals around 8000 plus. All of it burned throwing 100 pounds of crab. Wages? Well, considering three days a week on my route it was 860 net. So... shrugs.
where's all the 100k jobs?

Tanking pays rather well. Not the six figures you are looking for, but pretty good. Check some threads and/or posts from Chinatown, and Cat SDP.

$100,000 a year jobs are far and few between.
Sure you can go to Walmart's private fleet, they start at about $72,000 or try to get on with UPS.
Personally I'd rather not sell my soul to any company. I'll settle for $60,000-$70,000 a year have weekends off and be home most nights and not feel like I'm walking on eggshells.
But to each his ownG13Tomcat and Lucy in the Sky Thank this. -
It could go both ways. Destroy ones body with hard physical work with periods of driving in between. Or bumping docks in a van/reefer and losing caloric count. I'm no stick by any means, but do what I can to keep from ending up like some of the long-haul guys tanks I load.
I'm currently keeping an eye out for openings in food service gigs up in ABQ and Phoenix. Hard work to keep the body slim and money are alright sounding to me. But after four years of living out in what I consider the "sticks", it's time to take the local/regional thing back to the urban flavor of living. -
There are $100k a year jobs in the oilfield when times are good, without all the silly rules that I read about companies like Walmart having. It ain't easy, and it ain't for the faint of heart, but, with the right company, it can be done.
Keep the left door closed and the pedal to the metal. -
The way it works is companies offer .20 per mile. Any takers? .21 any takers. At around .32 lots of takers, Newbies. The $100,000 jobs are not company drivers. They are owner operators who refuse to haul cheap. Experienced truck drivers have to deal with the new drivers, the foreign drivers and those less then professional types who drive the wages down. With automatics lowering the skill level down wages will stay down.
If I had a good gig that paid $100,000 who among you would do the same job as me for $90000 If you said yes, you are the problem. -
