New Dry Bulk

I guess my question is why you hired on with them if you were unsure about the pay.

 

I hope you didn't think I was being snide. I just thought it was a legitimate issue. The only way to really be sure about what goes on over there is to ask their drivers. Most will give it to you straight up without the nonsense.

 

well, if you're talking local work, doing multiple loads a day, that don't sound too terrible. But if you're only delivering one a day, and spending most of your day actually driving, then it changes things a bit. If you're local, you will probably make your money through the extra pay, (loading/unloading, sweeping, cleaning) so the mileage pay is not as much of an issue. However, if you're only delivering one load every other day, you won't cash in on the extras, so the mileage becomes more important.

Either way, it don't sound too terrible

 

Have you ever done pneumatic work? I have extensive experience in that line. A super b will probably take 2 hours or more to unload, depending on the commodity and how far you have to blow it. You will have to babysit the whole process to avoid plugged lines and pressure extremes. Other than hoses and valves there is minimal labor involved, but whatever the weather is on a given day will be your working environment. Rain, snow, -50, wind, or +105. Ain't always fun.

 

I can only compare that pay to mine where I live. If the extra pay you listed is in USD, then it makes up for it. If it's in Canadian dollars, then that's even better. I guess it just depends on the cost of living where you are at and what the other tanker/bulk companies are paying.
