What are the worst parts of the job?

I felt like these two posts go together better than reality gave me.

 

I drive locally I actually like my job for the most part. I live in Western ny and drive milk truck. Every job does come with things that are less then ideal though.
1. The pay structure sucks. I don't get hourly, daily pay. If the farmer is not ready it comes out of my time.
2. Snow and icy roads. Slows me down and again no additional pay for driving safely.
3. Extremely cold weather makes getting going in the morning a real challenge. Truck runs poorly, frozen valves frozen pumps..

Job is much better when the weather co-operates

 

That's the thing about places like western NY. The weather can be absolutely brutal or absolutely beautiful. Averaged out over the 4 seasons, it's whatever you want it to be ... bad or good, depending on your POV

 

I don't care for snow much. I have to maintain safety of my truck. That means slowing down..... No additional pay for longer days.

 

I think slowing down on snow/ice is a given. However, in my situation, I don't get paid for highly likely potential of missed multiple days due to missed appointments, so driving slow across 200 miles of bad road beats the hell out of the result of me parking for 24 hours hoping for significant improvement that may or may not materialize.

 

It takes an act of God to shut down milk trucks. The cows don't know it's snowing hard and the milk tank needs to be emptied once a day. Otr guys will be shut down and I will still be on the road. Dairy is both good and bad but without question in demand

 

Worst part of the job? - Dealing with anybody that works in a cubical.
