Hauling milk OR Hauling milk permeate

Isn't overtime federally mandated over 40?

 

There is NO overtime in transportation. It's exempted.

 

If you don't have medical benefits, consider the tax penalty you're going to take at the end of the year. I've hauled milk before. It's hard work, long hours, and sometimes you sit at the creamery for hours and hours and hours. Frankly, a company that offers benefits shows better long-term stability, and that's where I would go. The IRS will straight pound you on the tax penalty for not having medical insurance, so that couple of extra dollars now will be a moot point down the line.

 

I'd take the one that pays overtime, plants do break down...and there is no predecting when you get to a plant if all there tanks are full and you have to wait for them to finish emptying a tank and having to wash it before refilling it.plus you have other factors like plants taking loads for other plants due to plant shutdown for maintenance. And like end of school year when excess milk needs to be spread out to various plants.

 

What part of country and what are the 2 companies you are choosing between

 

Go for the benefits.

 

If I was a able bodied worker earning wages I would have done exactly the same as my entire family did. Eat the 2000 dollars in IRS tax penalties, versus the 10,000 dollar deductable policy that costs about 7000 dollars cash for one year of insurance coverage.

Im pretty sure that the IRS realized that the American People like msyelf made a decision with a wallet and set of balls. Here is your mandated fine, you are NOT making me purchase health insurance I can never use.

I had already been to the ER three times in the last period of time between 2011 and 2014. The 2014 visit resulted in about 8700 dollars worth of billing in 4 hours frantic fighting, blood work and other problems associated to the acute symptoms I presented badly that night. The hospital took that bill, when added to the ER doctor, the Lab bill, the blood work bills, the mathmateician in Dallas dared to charge me 1000 dollars for 2 hours work in texas working over the lab results and finally the hospital's basic room and board for part day rate came to around 12,500 dollars total due.

They ripped it up. Medicare only paid so much and failed to recognize more than 2000 dollars of that visit. Charity paid it. I was told that I am fortunate that I should not have to file taxes that year to pay taxes on the unpaid billing with the idea that is now considered income to me. The 12,500 of it. Seriously?

If anything causes me to seriously consider leaving America and give up the citizenship that would be it. taxation on bills unpaid on the assumption that is future income.

I don't mind getting sick and have, rode it out right here at the house unless physical reactions to medicine forced me to seek out a walk in clinic that will have no problem shoving Calcium carbonite and saline IV fluids to get the body back under control. You would think i can do the same exact thing by mixing up charcoal and kool aid in a drink and stirred until it's a fine mixure. Then drink it. Bottoms up.

 

I have hauled milk from Iowa to SD and MN cheese plants. Depending on the time day I arrived there was very little waiting time. Midday would have a line of trucks, but it moved along as they had 4 bays to unload at. You may have a different experience. Gernerally the shipper has an idea on a plants busy times. I had an appt for a drop at a butter plant in St. Louis. I was early, and it was a one truck bay, but I only had to wait for the guy ahead of me to unload.

I would take the job with benefits. You are not taxed for those benefits. It is hard to find a milk hauler that will provide benefits. You will be taxed on your overtime pay.
