    Makes too much sense for it to be anything other than hourly, so in that regard we share a position. I just find it hard to believe that they're gonna pay the same wage to folks who have more specialized credentials as they pay the rest of the masses working inside the warehouse, and I haven't been able to find any information that reflects this change in the status quo, as it were. Not saying anyone's wrong or anything, but I AM saying that when I can't get decent information from in-house OR from the little bit of research I've been able to do so far, I'm inclined to remain skeptical until I hear more info in an official capacity as opposed to the spec we're engaging in with this thread

    $15.92 what a joke. I made more than that my first job when I graduated high school 20 years ago working in a warehouse.

    also one thing to take into consideration Amazons job is to reduce the Value of a CDL to make sure it doesn’t pay extra for CDL holders. They aren’t in business to make you rich they are in business to answer to their share holders.


    Lots of people who are willing to work, so minimum wage driver positions are becoming standard.

    Pretty sad when you can make nearly the same flipping burgers as you can driving a semi.

    Flipping burgers won't have you paying $2.59 for Little Debbies either.
