Looking to go local, need advice...

It's the easiest job I've ever had. No one bothers you or cares if it takes 12 hours or 6 hours. OT every day. Winter can be a challenge but at least in hourly you're actually getting paid to chain

 

The only job I can think of that even comes close to what you're looking for as far as daytime work, hours and weekends off is LTL P&D. Maybe try looking into that.

A lot of the local jobs that are available are based off of seniority, whether it's union or not. So that'll probably mean you'll start off with the crappiest run with the crappiest hours before you can get a cake run with the start times your looking for. I don't know if any of these companies are around your area, but they work around 8-10 hours a day, and day shift will probably depend on seniority......

Shaw Flooring has daytime work doing P&D, pay is around $25 an hour.

Costco Fleet drivers are practically all 8 hours and pay is around $25.50.

Mail Contract Carriers have 8-10 hour runs, but you'll probably have to call to find out if the shift your looking for is available, otherwise it's seniority based, pay is around $21-28 an hour.

USPS has daytime 8 hour runs, but it's seniority based. Pay is around $30-33 an hour top rate, but will go even higher due to new union contract.

ACME and Wegmans Grocery Supermarket Distribution have 8-10 hour runs. ACME is trip rate based and Wegmans has a no cap pay rate where you get a .50 cent raise every six months, that's the non union side. Pay starts off around $19-22 an hour for both.

Yard jockeying is a good option for consistent start times. Shifts depend on availability. Pay rate varies.

I would forget about Food Service or Beverage delivery because they work LOOOONG hours. Or try looking at Indeed.com.

Good luck.

 

Yea that's never good.

 

I've seen grain Haulers for Tyson Foods before. They drive the straight truck dump vehicles hauling feed grains for chickens. I don't know what their pay rate or hours are. You can always check out Tyson's website for more info, that's if there is one located near you.

Milk delivery depends on if it's tanker or store deliveries. I know a couple Dean Foods drivers and tanker gets paid less than store delivery, which is about $18 an hour. The delivery side gets paid around $25 an hour, but it's BACK BREAKING WORK and LOOONG hours. Start times are around 3 am. But Tyson and Dean Foods are well known companies, I don't know what a local farmer would offer.
