He has been on the job for 10 years,going back to the days when you were hired by a lottery system. Currently he is on a waiting list for sanitation supervisor.
Thanks Buddy. You saved me some typing. Unfortunately I did not make the supervisors list. I went outside and saw my shadow. Guess that means 6 more months of dumping.......................
I assume thats pre-tax and deductions? How much does top pay come out to after all the BS?
Its actually 230 something a day. If you do the truck you make about 800 something a week give or take. Everyone puts different amounts away , loans, health Insurance etc etc. That is the area though.
how long before you get a somewhat regular schedule, or does that never happen? after working 9-5, M - F for the last 15 years, I'm not looking forward to the type of schedule you described. is it as bad as it seems?
The time frame in which you get a regular schedule all depends on the garage that you are in(whether or not it is a senior garage, or if there is always alot of new guys coming in because the senior guys keep transfering out, as is the case in BK-3). And no, it is not as bad as it seems, and when you keep hearing that this job is the greatest city job(which is what I hear all the time), it is really true. You will have your days when you are sweeping the streets with a hand broom when you will question why you actually took the job, but then as time goes on you begin to realize that this really is the greatest city job, and it will get better.........I hope!

I hope so too. BTW, did you take the physical yet? Is there any thing you could advise me on. thanks.
Not sure if you where asking me this question or not, but yes, I took the physical almost a year ago, and was hired on August 11. The physical is an absolute joke, all you pretty much need is to be able to walk and you will be fine.....
