Am I underpaid?

I drove a privately owned auto transport and use to park in town and drive new exotics home. After a few years its just another car. Some just go faster. As we all know it's the driver not the truck.

 

BS: They lease em, load up the trunk of the BMW with three grocery carts full paid for with an EBT card. Look down their noise at you while you pay for their birth control, child bearing, etc.
Every day we work and pay: Fuel tax, road use tax, income tax, high impact tax, sales tax, property tax, federal excise tax, etc.
My insurance has increased 500 dollars a month in the last two years due to things like requiring maturnity coverage, which we can never use. Inorder to keep the rates so affordable we have increased the deductible to 2500 dollars.
My friend works at a grocery store and says she sees it every day.
The sad part is the people raising their grandchildren that really need the help are often left out.

 

What does a bulk driver do? Are they the ones who stop at all the stores and unload and stock?

 

Me too! Got a 5 year old half ton pushing 300k on the clock. I just can't justify spending $40k on a vehicle every 5 years. Especially when it still runs just fine. Only time a buy a new vehicle is when the old one is worn out to the point that I'm fixing it every weekend. Even then I'll buy a trim level that's a step up from base. Cheap truck lasts just as long as the $80k one.

 

You put more miles on your pick up than I do on my big truck. My personal vehicle is an 04 f150 I bought new. Today it has less than 50k miles.

 

They deliver to big chain stores like walmary, jewels meijers, etc. They are provided with a electric jack and jack pallets off into the stores using a dock or tailgate. Count products with the receiver to make sure it's all there and continues on. About 3 -15 stop per day.

Over here they start off at 21 a hour and you have to have sonority. Union job. So start off as a helper making about 12 bucks a hour, sidebar driver, then bulk driver.

Fyi bulk is just a van with a lift gate, idk why they call it bulk since bulk in the real world is a tanker type thing.

 

Repo companies love this rationale

 

No, you are not under paid. As long as you get an annual increase, you are in good shape.

 

Exactly. The more accurate statement would be, the more expensive the car the more debt a person has. Obviously there are exceptions to that but for whatever reason most people buy the most expensive vehicle they can finance.

 

Here's something else that's interesting - I bought my '14 F150 2 years ago as a "Demo" model, I had a strong trade and wanted to pay cash for the remaining balance. The dealer informed that I had to finance at least $10,000 to be eligible for one of the discounts he was offering. I was fortunate and disciplined enough to pay off the loan when the statement arrived, but others may not be as lucky. Just another example of how folks accrue more debt.
