No, he didn't. Read it again.

He said not including pushing cans. And there's a period between pushing and cans so not even sure he meant pushing cans.

Yep. I’m an RTD and after a year you can 100% make more money somewhere else. They trap us by making the job literally the easiest job on the face of the earth.

You aren't trapped. You'd rather keep an easy job for less money. Money isn't an issue.

Plus we cover 1st, 2nd and 3rd shifts as cover drivers and we get paid the same as courier swing drivers who only cover 2 shifts and don’t need a CDL.

Even worse, some RTDs even have to get out of their cab as the cans are unloaded at the stations! Why, I once saw an RTD who went so far as to raise and lower the lift on the caster deck!

While the grunts are pulling cans Trucker’s Hammock

New hire RTD pay is about 19 to 21 an hr depending on market. Not bad for a driver with zero experience. No long haul, no hotels or sleeper beds. Could be worse.

Sure it could be worse.

They could be working with you.

That really hurts coming from someone with no character such as yourself.

Swings where I am are required to have a CDL, as are many couriers.

He's referring to a CDL-A . Which is not required for swing or courier.

Prove it!

I could send you the company policy and you're too dumb to read it.

The perk is all CDL jobs require experience. Fedex will take a Handler and train him straight up. Unheard of in the trucking biz.

Not much of that goes through our system to warrant every swing to have a HAZ endorsement, much less a courier.

Better stick to what you know. This isnt one of them. How do you know what swing is gonna run a rt that has a Radioactive 3? We have several stops that get them regularly but I guess since you think you know it all, you were aware of that. We see an occasional Dangerous When Wet as well. Might want to get a 5th grader to read you the DOT regulations.

Cool story bro.

Yep. Facts scare you. I guess you think they outlawed those 2 Haz classes. You might just be dumber than a 4th grader. Forget the 5th grader.

Majority of routes never even see a III bar or dangerous when wet. Ttku, son

The rts that do see those need a CDL and all swings in our station are required to have one because you never know what swing will be on what rt. How bout sticking to whatever it is you think you can do. TTKU little fella

 

[DeliveryException]

And our station does not require all swings to have Haz endorsement/CDL. Only 1 or 2 in each workgroup. Plus those are mostly class c cdl so it's basically just for the endorsement not driving bigger trucks. If a Haz package that requires placard shows up they just move swings around to take care of it.
