Venezia transport

For the short time I worked there, the pay didn't really increase more than few cpm. 14+ hour days were common. Maybe make 240 a day on asphalt.

Great company, but I'm not working those kind of hours for that kind of money. Especially in Florida with how expensive it's gotten here.

The yard is terrible. Just a dirt lot with 2 mechanics. Mind you this was last year in October, but I doubt much has changed in 6 months.

 

I saw a Venezia truck in Jax today pulling a dump, I think they're opening a terminal up there and that's the first time I've ever seen a dump behind one of their trucks. @Dave1837 is that something they might get in to more heavily? Seems to make sense in Florida to service not only the cement, but the rock and sand as well, basically a full service operation. This would be something that would peak my interest, as I've been pulling dumps for years, I've always heard good things about Venezia down here, never really been interested in working pneumatics though.

 

What’s the hourly rates for dumps like down there ?

up here it’s like $28 an hour for a company driver and $115 for a hired truck

 

Basically all percentage down this way, you’re making a living, but not a killin’

 

It's really no more than 250 a day running asphalt. Some times you can make more if you're willing to run out an 80 hour clock.

 

Yea but what’re you going to make on a week pulling 80?

 

Maybe 1500 a week
