Been keeping a close eye on the job boards these days... 35k a year asking for 3 years of experience? Get the fuck out of here.
Damn, that blows!
My boot allowance doesn’t cover enough (I go through two pairs a year, lots of walking) but we get an unlimited supply of free gloves, a new winter hi-vis coat each fall, plus supplied and laundered uniforms.
The ground level folks were genuinely awesome, and they all even helped me out of a pinch a couple of times.
But man do I have some stories.
Which is a bummer because it was a fun job.
I mean yeah actually we are but only for warehouse gigs. You’d just be picking and stacking orders
Keep in mind this isn’t the beer industry, I’ve long since left. I just lurk here now.

Ugh, this perfectly describes Fort George.
Dudes hired me to drive their semi truck. A brand new, fully loaded, top of the line Kenworth with all the fixin’s. $200k easily for it, and they didn’t bother with the aerodynamic packages so it sucked down fuel like no tomorrow. Outfitted it to be able to pull regular trailers and also a dump trailer.
Then they bought a dump truck from the 80s and had it partially restored instead. Another $50k or so.
Asked for a raise to match trucking industry standards, nope. The money they were wasting on shiny rigs and fuel would’ve more than covered what I asked for. The wasted fuel alone was probably in the $15k/yr range.
Quit, and almost doubled my income with a Union trucking gig. Went from $48k and okayish benefits to $100k and the full Teamsters benny package.
I don’t get it.
