LOL Job "Opportunity"

I drive flatbed about 10 hours a day and make over $300. That's close to $30 per hour.
$9.5 is just ridiculous. There are plenty of job paying per mile, why would anyone even consider getting paid per hour.

 

Because some of us do just fine on hourly pay....and we don't have to work 15, 16 hours a day to make ends meet.

 

Or, I had a per mile job. Paid .48 loaded, .45 empty as a local driver. Some shifts id shuttle stuff from one plant to another 175 miles one way, out loaded back empty. Roughly $84 to go to customer and $78 something to go back to the yard. $162 to drive 350 miles in 12 hours for a d/h which paid hourly at $18/hr. So 180 bucks to run a 12 hour shift. Yes it took 12 hours. My start times would coincide with evening rush hour even with 50 miles of two lane back roads, every night.

 

No misprint. I have seen those adds too. What the employer is doing is establishing a market rate for the job position. If he gets no suitable candidates for the position, he will petition for a immigrant worker visa. And he won't get any suitable candidates.

The fact you cannot find a suitable worker in the US is a requirement for many employment visas. He will then hire a boatload of coders, or engineers from India and China at what sounds like a good wage to some from there.

 

Our drivers like the hourly pay. They really like the time-and-a-half. We do a lot of short hops and paying by the mile just wouldn't work out.

 

I agree... no misprint. I also have a masters in logistics and the best I could find was about 13.00/hr (I'm entry level but 13/hr barely pays my bills let alone student loans). I make more OTR so came back until something more promising pops up.
