Preloaders..in BC..starting wage is $10/hour..progressing to $19/hr after 30 months(of continuous employment)..if a day is missed here and there,due to no call in,or even sick..that 30 month period is extended by however many days were missed..
Preloaders can unload trailers..or sort pkgs,along belt,in trucks...preloaders are assigned 3 trucks to load and organize,although,that organizing part is a skill that comes with experience.
Preloaders can also go out on road..as a helper..the work code then changes..however..and just when you think you've worked some O/T..no!..because you worked 5 hours as a preloader..then after changing into your browns..either leaving with a driver...or even,meet him after taking your own car to the meet point(not paid)..you might work another 4 hours..you thought that last hour was O/T?..NO!..
A good candidate for a preloader is..someone who may be self employed,or a trades person..this way..they can work the preload..and then go off and do their day job..and,after a year(or whatever the wait period is in your area)..receive benefits,and holiday pay..it works really good when the preloader has graduated to the $19/hr phase..X20-25 hours per week..and still do plumbing,electrician,tile,drywall install,etc..to fill in more hours getting paid for working...whatever that may be.
Gasoline is $1.14 L-$1.52 L depending on what area of country..Canadian and US Gallons are different in size...Canadian is 32, USA is 28?..
Food is more expensive in Canada..milk,cheese,bread..are much,much lower priced in USA..electronic goods are pricier in Canada...
Even beer is way more expensive in Canada..in fact..you can get Canadian beer in the US..for cheaper than we can buy here in Canada..figure that!..
