another driver told me to dictate terms to the boss??

I think dairy hauling has it's problems but it's not bottom of the barrel. My company isn't the best either but I'm not better off stocking at Walmart. 60k at 50 hours per week, I'm more like 53k on 60 hours. 401k, I can't get until 10 years. Sounds like you have a better dairy hauling gig then I have. Do you get 2 days off per week. I have worked 6 days since the day I have started. I'm glad there are at least some better milkman gigs out there.

 

company only matches 3% so basically no. 3% is pretty bad. 10 years LOL, he does that because he knows most guys leave and now he doesnt have to invest into someone who is there 6 month or a year. this 10 year waiting period was never mentioned when i was hired, i didnt find out until i found out from one of the few drivers (maybe the only driver) that has been there long enough to actually be getting it. i have been there almost 5 months, so by most company standards (90 days) i should already be building a 401. NOPE. story behind that 15 year veteran of the company, he drove the bosses rig drunk and hit a cow, the boss got him out of it with a fancy lawyer since he was one of the few that stuck around. this was in the newspaper and my neighbor told me about it. he is a captive and cant go anywhere.

im going to go back to dump truck in the coming weeks, possibly where i worked in the fall. no more uncompensated crap. this was just a job to get me through and it did just that. i want an hourly wage with overtime after 40 hours. just like everyone else in every other industry expects.
