    Right now its at 27.79 the recruiter told me every January last few years they've had a 3% raise. But they don't pay overtime. It's all straight time unfortunately

    tbh that's not bad, i think it ultimately comes down to the environment and commute time. whats the price for a one bed room apartment over there !

    My apartment I pay $725 for a two bedroom in a so so city. But that awesome you get overtime. I'm hoping to eventually get a linehaual position. I'm not sure how long it will take

    27 bucks an hour and rent is only 725 for 2 beds !!! i pay 1,800 for a one bed with a 35 min commute to the YARD!
    take the 27 straight time!

    are they banging gears or automatics ?

    take the 27 work it for 6 months and see if the environment is what your looking for, i was talking to a ups driver today OG 30 year safety badge the whole nine, and he said hes tired of 70 hours a week.

    70 hours in 5 days is tough. You'll be too exhausted by the weekend to want to do anything.
     
    Cardfan89 and Jay5GS Thank this.
