    I dont know anything about waste management but I did a short stint with BFI back in 94 started as a slinger then did commercial rearload just landed a sweet roll-off/pup bid and we lost the city contract ..I was offered transfer but I was young and didnt want to leave the area...had they not lost the contract I may have still been with them...BFI was a great place run bu great people( back in the day)..people can say what they want about (garbagemen) its a great paying and enjoyable gig...

    I believe a lot of the WM facilities down here around Wash. Pa are hiring non-experienced drivers, our local facility is offering a 1,000 dollar sign on bonus, it was 2K when I moved up here about 6 months ago, and they're always hiring, literally ALWAYS. Also look in to water hauling outfits, I know a lot of them down in Texas hire with no experience, not sure how it works up here in PA but there is a lot of frac water/fresh water to be hauled and the pay is pretty #### good.

    If you have 2 legs you can chase the rear load truck! Great job for parolees.

    Front loaders start early around midnight or 1.

    Roll-off starts early if you have to dump yesterday's last pickup.

    Rear load starts early too.

    I hope y'all like waking up to an alarm clock. I prefer the sun waking me up.

    WM is very hard to get in,I apply there maybe 3 times a year in the last 3-4 years and I was only interview once(last month).Its not a easy company to get into and what I understand from the H.R lady that interview me,she told me they hire in-house first before they hire from outside.The guys on the front loaders have been there a while,1-3 years or more.What she told me is that some guys work on the back of the truck for few years before they get an better offer like a lead driver job or the front loader job,they have a list of guys who want that job,so for them to hire someone from outside for a loader job is rare.

    Ok,so i applied for a residential driver here (actually i applied for pretty much every deriver position that was in a 40 mile radius last 6 months),yesterday they called me back,asked me a lot of questions,after like 20 min the guy told me that he is glad to tell me that I was selected for an interview,but they don't have appointments rght now,so somebody will call me back to schedule an appointment.I don't even know if this is a good sign or not?
