Final Thoughts: Beer Truck Driving

Yeah I made to much money delivering beer and the city couldn't match the beer distributors pay. The city started off at $13.50 and top pay was $20-$21 an hour. I do better then $13.50 an hour right now so the city pretty much figured I was to expensive for them.
They liked that I had a Class A CDL, however they don't want to pay big Class A money. The only way I would have gotten on with them is if I was fresh out of school. Actually a prime candidate for them would be a Class B CDL holder fresh out of truck driving school, that's who they really want. The job I applied for only needed a Class B license my city only owns 2 old FL120 freightliner semis that do nothing, but go to the landfill and back. Every other truck is a Class B CDL vehicle.

However going to the city for the first year or so I would have been making quite a bit less a year then what I am making now. So that's pretty much what happened. So instead I got angry one day at the way things were going at my work and applied to work for GFS and called Jack Cooper up at the same time figured I could be a union car hauler. Well GFS got me first GFS actually is a real good step up from the company I am with now.

Yeah the city has a state employee pension fund, but who the heck knows if that would even be around by the time I need it, but that's just speculation on my end to.

The city now is like any other business they are trying to keep there overhead low. They had no reason not to hire me I had everything they wanted and then some.

 

Oh I am fine working hard. Getting ready to switch over to Gordon Food Service in due time. I passed my strength test and DOT physical just waiting for the toxic chemical screen to come back clean.
Busy delivering beer in the snow which made things very difficult this week.

However today things heated up out side and I was able to wash my car.
