Had a phone interview with WM for a residential position. Anyways does anyone know what I can expect for pay? The interviewer told me he thinks its for a rear loader position and starts at 15.50 and is negotiable. Anyone know what the going rate is around Tampa FL? Should I stay away from WM? I know they are safety conscious and watch like a hawk. I talked to a guy in my neighborhood and he said hes been there 7 years and loves it. It seems like all he does is push a button to lift up the garbage bins up front with a claw. Thanks

Good reply! I was thinking it would be temporary to move up into roll offs if they let you do that. I think the pay is low here in FL unfortunately. Now 30 bucks an hour like I read in some of these posts sign me up. Thanks again for replying.

Well some people like it, then again some people like doing food and bev (shudder) try it, by all means. But dont exspect easy. Trash is hot, hard, and dirty. (Not in the good way) but some guys thrive.

Pedal to the right.

Ha ha I don't know about me a machine ha-ha I'm usually the third last truck back to the yard, of course I also run some real less then stellar routes too so it's all relative I don't have to many easy days or routes. My Tuesday is a disaster there's a reason nobody bid on it and I got it coming in off the street ha-ha! My Tuesday this week was 18 stops and my Wednesday was 17 stops. My Thursday is all schools usually, with maybe only 12 stops but 900 cases sometimes.
I read on here that a common garbage truck saying is "Pedal to the right" -
Foot down till sun down,
Give it the skinny pedal
If you can smell your load, your not moving fast enough. (Personal favorite that one)Mike2633 Thanks this. -
Rear loader is hard work. Hopefully the city has carts and tippers or you are dumping by hand every stop. Don't get me started on yard waste bags. For 15.50 an hour that would be a tough sell. As far as Waste Management is concerned, a phone interview isn't much. There will be 2 in person interviews and even then you may not get it.
