Thinking about ditching my current carrer, was wonder what the pay is like with a Class B driver in particular dump truck driver.
not a clue, but I used to work with a guy that was a beer delivery guy and he told me, once everybody knows each other real well the accounting gets real loose. He was selling cases to club owners on the side and making 400 to 700 bucks a week extra in cash, but he hated it because rain or shine deliveries had to be made and it was difficult to take time off.
Was this 40 years ago?
driving a dump truck for 8 hours a day for 10-15 dollars an hour?? holly crap that sucks.
can you find/buy a road worthy dump truck yourself?
being the boss is so much better than earning for him.
I know plenty of union guys that burn so Im not sure how much drug testing is invovled in the trucking industry.
unions are corrupt, find a top dog there and offer to buy your way in, it's a tough economy so 2K ought to do it, for that 2K you expect to enter a step up from apprentice (or whatever the bottom rung is called) so that you come in @ the second tier pay level.Hmmm I might need to throw up a few more lights to be able to buy a dump truck.
I'd love to be a self employed dump truck driver, but really what Im shooting for is a union job, I know in my area the union and state jobs pay like 30 bucks an hour. I know plenty of union guys that burn so Im not sure how much drug testing is invovled in the trucking industry.
