I suspect that there will be a lot of people who won't be able to wrap their heads around that concept. Which is why I called PTO a "trap".
how common is it to not have benefits in this industry??

eh idk. 2nd year...i have 3 weeks paid vacation, several paid holidays (i typically get 2 paid days off per holiday bc night shift spans 2 days) and i pay nothing for benefits. health, dental, vision, 401k, profit sharing, company matched "savings accts". several benefits.
all companies i drove for offered benefits such as health, 401k, paid holidays and vacation. it's something one must establish before taking a job.bottomdumpin Thanks this. -

Holiday Pay
2 weeks vacation pay per year
100% company paid medical and dental
Company paid pension
My cost? $56.00 per month for union dues.
Most folks get none of the above.

I don't know why it should be mandatory for the employer to provide benefits. Don't like your pay and/or benefit package, find another job.
I also think people get too hung up on benefits. For example, it's like somebody would rather have a $15 per hr job with benefits rather than a $25 per hr job with no benefits. At the end of the day, all that matters is dollar value of your pay, if it comes from cash money or in some sort of benefit.TaterWagon#62 Thanks this. -

A good benefit package helps attract and keep good drivers. It also helps keep the union out.
What our company pays out in benefits comes back to us in a solid and reliable work force.
That being said, there are some drivers who, no matter what you give them in the way of benefits, won't be happy and won't stay.
The family guys, the ones with children especially, know the value of good benefits.special-k and rabbiporkchop Thank this.
