Hmmm, getting paid for peeing. Now that is something I never thought about. But I guess any time you are on the clock, and you have to take a leak, you are getting paid for peeing. . .
If that is almost dead, then I am mouldering.Mr Ed said: ↑How much older ?? I'm 63 now ! that's almost dead !Click to expand...

Depends BigD.."Depends"Big Don said: ↑Must be nice! Wait until you're a bit older. You'll have to get up to pee at least 4 times in that 12 hours. . .

In the Flatbed section there's a thread about ol' Bedders..Maybe come on over to the "Flatbed Side"? (I didn't say anything over there for fear of losing my flatbed card) but that #### is starting to kill me!!!!Mr Ed said: ↑How much older ?? I'm 63 now ! that's almost dead !Click to expand...

I am slaveried. I mean salaried.
That means I am their ##### 24/7. Thankfully only M-F. (weekends are by volunteer, as long as they have enough volunteers)
So when I only have a 10 hour day, they know they can put a load on me in ten hours from when I shut down.
If it was a 9-5 job I would not start again til 9. But in the case of a trucker, I am paid to sleep on command so I am available for dispatch at the end of my ten.

Yep. And then they can earn their entire years pay in a very short time, doing things that most people would never consider doing.not4hire said: ↑Firemen: 3 picnics, 3 sleepovers and four days off.Click to expand...Lux Prometheus Thanks this.

Exactly. How much would you pay each of them to save your house?Big Don said: ↑Yep. And then they can earn their entire years pay in a very short time, doing things that most people would never consider doing.Click to expand...
Now ask how much you would pay each of them to save your child or wife from a burning house?
now ask how many times they do that in a year...
MikeeeeLux Prometheus and cellopudding Thank this. -
Now if they'd only pay/treat their store employees similarly...truckerdave1970 said: ↑And the last I heard they had almost zero driver turnover. A lot of companies would do themselves a favor to observe how Wal Mart treats their drivers and maybe adopt a few of those practices! I'm just say'n.Click to expand...
