The pay is decent for a part time gig, it is only 4-4 1/2 hours a day. Yet it feels like you really pushed yourself at another job for eight hours straight.
Its a weird situation here, truly. One year you're making 15k, in five years your making 75k. The scale of increase in payments of job is really outrageous. They can pay a problem driver, with no other skills 75k a year. Yet, fail to increase a pay rate for a preloader thats an expert in many loading situations and other skills.
Usally, its the smart ones that get the big picture and see they're going no where fast here. I see it myself, but I'm always excited to go to work. They see it because the job takes it toll on the body. Your back, kness, neck and mind start to slow start to fall apart on you. I've heard and seen people quit because of a little pain here or there. I've heard of special forces ( Seals ) quitting the job only after a month. And I will hear more of these stories to come.
For many, the only thing that keeps them coming in time and time again is the chance they can land a job driving. I really feel sorry for them, because its a very long road of playing the game for another many years until that chance is a reality. Then they have to deal the jerk-off loader that cant seem to read or load numbers. Then again deal with soups the next morning about why they went over. The job is a lot of BS. In all aspects, each one has its problems.
For small sort, get bent. Want to complain about pushing 2 ounce-5 pound boxes all night, then you need to go apply at Walmart or Mcdonalds.
