Boys with CDL license, get into the unions, Liuna, IBEW, make big boy money. In socal, starting CDL A start $38hr. Operators Union - Hydrovac Operators $61hr. Think bigger with your CDL.
I make $43/hour in the SF bay area as a garbage man. Doesnt feel like much anymore. Only perk is not paying for medical and being able to get done in 4-5hours and be home early or get a part time.
If you’re paying $3k a month for rent ofcourse it’s not gonna feel like anything. Rent costs are bullshit. Robbing the poor and middle class. They need to just keep building houses and apartments. Supply and demand. More places to lives less cost. And the dollar inflation is stupid. Stores raised prices of food. Everyone is greedy

I think in 1999 to 2010 if you made 20 or 30 bucks an hour you were the man well now at 2022 going to 2023 $20 or $30 it’s really not that much you got regular people were regular jobs making 18 bucks an hour 25 bucks an hour. They don’t even work that hard and you don’t get stuck in traffic.
you are right. back in the late 90s and 2000s if you were banking 20-30$ an hour you were living good. Now a days that barely covers rent and a car payment.
Well that depends on what your cost of living is. If u got your mortgage fixed and got it during the recession like me then 20 to 30 is a lot because my bills are low and I'm able to save money. I also have great credit and get the best interest rates on my car payments . My mortgage is under $500 and that's including homeowners insurance and property taxes. And it's a 3 bedroom 2 bath home with a brand new 2 and a half car garage in a decent neighborhood about 1200sq ft. So if you been working on getting on your bills to its lowest they can be then u can save alot to use towards vacations and other big ticket items or investment. I just got a newer suburban about 3 weeks ago and the dealerships banks wanted to charge me 8% interest so I went to my credit union and they gave me the loan at 5.5%! So it all depends on if u was already set up before covid or if u bounce around and rent . People are getting ripped of renting right now. My home in the recession was $58000 now it's worth double and my credit score is above 800. And on top of it all my insurance for home and car are put together with AAA and I never in 20+ yrs have let it lapse so I got 2 full coverage policies on my cars for around $140 a month. So a lot of people where already set up like me and then u have people who haven't established themselves yet so it wouldn't be much to these people. If u have to spend over $1000 on rent which now is on the low end then your not making your paycheck go far.
When you factor in the 20 hours of overtime weekly then you are talking about a 2k check every week, after benefits and tax you clear 1450 a week , that’s a decent pay and you keep climbing every year. There’s people at my wm site making over 40 an hour , their take home money is well over 2k a week
Yep. I agree. Did this shit for 2 months before I tapped out. But then again, I'm going to a trade school with the goal of making more money and having a more balanced work life style
@@ricjames1557 Do yourself a favor and stay away. You’re micromanaged like crazy & they have cameras all over the truck to monitor you and the GPS times you whenever you stop. Management will be on your ass every time as well. So you pretty much have to haul ass every time. You can look for other companies, just stay away from WM. They’re understaffed like crazy cause they don’t pay their employees enough for the amount of work they do.
@ricjames1557 Mainly its the hours and if a holiday falls during the week we work Saturdays. I had no experience and they hired me within 1 week. If your a self starter this job will work for you...
Working at ups sucks, the package delivery guys, hate there life, they work you like a dog, sure you can argue they pay decent and have benefits, your going to need them when your body is broken down, from the work, and honestly they just now got ac in there trucks, they don't care about there employees.
I worked for ups as a preload supervisor I’ve seen the behind the scenes in the warehouse yeah they get paid good but they work for it and it does take a toll on your body from what drivers said that I’ve talked to
@ChaseBreadTre you can literally go to college for 2 years and get a office job, that pays the same or better and only have to work 40 hours a week, these companies need to stop playing or accept the high turn over rates.

I don't how these guys work with out swamped on the front load. They got jump out every time push those big bins out. Sometimes there is like 8 bins at apartments. Respect it's hard work. Roll off drivers are chilling not so physical.
Our Union doesn’t want to agree to a new contract because the City wants the work to be done overnight. We’ve been at the same pay scale since January 2021.

Good look getting a job doing that in Mississippi it’s damn near impossible I have a class A CDL and they will still put you on the back of a truck a Frontload position takes 20 plus years to get there no experience my ass
I think it is based on that area. Metro areas possibly more.Cities with 350k population, less. But if you don't mind the travel be a swing driver for a few years, Pay off a house and go back to one of the other positions.
Hello guys I need your opinion I'm making about $900 to $1000 a week i'm currently an over the road truck driver class A CDL and I'm out on the road 2 to 3 months at a time and when I get back home I stay for like a week maybe week and a 1/2 so it's like 1 day off for every 6 days worked what do you think about that should I change to waste management I drive a drive in 18 Wheeler 53 foot trailer and like I said it's all 48 states...thanks in advance
Oh I have 5 years experience and i live in Miami floridabut I'm never home but i want to be home that's why i want to change to waste management locally you know so i can be home every day
Neighborhood garbage men suck these days! God forbid they have to get out of the cab to pick up missed trash. Plus, they will just leave your shit in the middle of the road. Pay doesnt teach good work ethics.
See, that is in YOUR neighborhood. Because in my neighborhood which has houses that fall inside the average home cost, the garbage men are: 1. On time 2. Respectful 3. Organized. So you are simply GENERALIZING. ALSO, pay CAN TEACH good work ethics if you pay the TEACHERS well enough and fund the company to have control of your employees. YOU clearly have not worked a day in your life, so you should probably tell those garbage men to pick it up. Thats what I would do at least instead of just watching them and go to youtube to let it all out in the comment section with a statement that holds 0 water in validity. I don’t know if you know this but Not every men is as ethical or a good human being like yourself Jrusell.
My garbage only has the driver and no guys picking up the garbage pail anymore they have another truck that comes around to pick up garbage that's not in the garbage pail
A driver with no set route. They usually make 2 dollars more than a regular driver. But fuck that he’s bouncing back and forth all week, different routes working 60hrs plus
I am a Swing Driver for WM. Depending on what you are able to run they have different types. EX. Residential Swing Driver only runs residential trucks but fills in routes when people call out or are on vacation. Some swing drivers (such as myself) bounce in all lines of business. Resi, front load, roll off etc. At my site I’m not required to travel but I like to because it’s great extra pay. If I want to stay home I will just stay here and bounce around.

Can felons get hired for that job?
What state are you in for the starting pay to be $27?
What about rear loaders?
You need a guy in the back for those which he mentioned
I like the sound of the pto pump
Plus tips too
Good look getting a job doing that in Mississippi it’s damn near impossible I have a class A CDL and they will still put you on the back of a truck a Frontload position takes 20 plus years to get there no experience my ass
I’m trynna get in to these companies and having zero luck and i have 2 years exp Class A driver 😔
what city is this
I think it is based on that area. Metro areas possibly more.Cities with 350k population, less. But if you don't mind the travel be a swing driver for a few years, Pay off a house and go back to one of the other positions.
A lot of these jobs don’t pay that much do any good thing about them is the insurance
Class B ....for this. Just doesn't seem right.
Very helpful channel

Jealous.
How much do they make a year???
Starting out they make 89-98k first year just goes up 👍
Neighborhood garbage men suck these days! God forbid they have to get out of the cab to pick up missed trash. Plus, they will just leave your shit in the middle of the road. Pay doesnt teach good work ethics.
See, that is in YOUR neighborhood. Because in my neighborhood which has houses that fall inside the average home cost, the garbage men are: 1. On time 2. Respectful 3. Organized. So you are simply GENERALIZING. ALSO, pay CAN TEACH good work ethics if you pay the TEACHERS well enough and fund the company to have control of your employees. YOU clearly have not worked a day in your life, so you should probably tell those garbage men to pick it up. Thats what I would do at least instead of just watching them and go to youtube to let it all out in the comment section with a statement that holds 0 water in validity. I don’t know if you know this but Not every men is as ethical or a good human being like yourself Jrusell.
My garbage only has the driver and no guys picking up the garbage pail anymore they have another truck that comes around to pick up garbage that's not in the garbage pail
Be funny someone tells you to mind your own business
He thinks at 27??
I think oround 23
Think hes cappin here WM drivers make 22
It varies from location to location

What’s a swing driver ?
A driver with no set route. They usually make 2 dollars more than a regular driver. But fuck that he’s bouncing back and forth all week, different routes working 60hrs plus
@@jun10rf3a position not for the unskilled
I am a Swing Driver for WM. Depending on what you are able to run they have different types. EX. Residential Swing Driver only runs residential trucks but fills in routes when people call out or are on vacation. Some swing drivers (such as myself) bounce in all lines of business. Resi, front load, roll off etc. At my site I’m not required to travel but I like to because it’s great extra pay. If I want to stay home I will just stay here and bounce around.
I'm part time at UPS and I'll be up to 37 /hr this year fuckin ez work too

@@evermendoza6849 he's lying. They aren't paying a mother fucker 37 to be part time. Unless he's a gm who is on salary and just doesn't show to make sure things are running.
