I couldn't handle my last new job. I didn't mind the work, but the pay and hours were ridiculous! I never knew when I started work, I'd have to call them at 10am, then they tell me the time which was going to be between 7pm and 2am start time, then I go load truck, drive, unload go back unload, reload drive, unload reload, all friggin night on a percentage basis, but no control over what the load would be or be worth, so I'd be lucky to make $12/hr when it was all said and done and if I didn't fall asleep and die. I can't handle a job where I am up for several hours before work, and there was no way to sleep before work. I need to sleep, get up go to work then come home and have a few hours relaxing before doing it all over again. It was killing me so I quit.
Now I finally got a normal job! I'm working for Ryder. I'll be delivering auto parts, no touch freight. It pays by the hour, starts around 5-6am and is a normal 8.25 hr shift. It's a union job with the teamsters after 90 days, with excellent benefits and paid holidays. I only will be driving 1.5 miles about 12 times a day..I like that, that's like 6 trips from Ryder to GM and back..lots of sitting around waiting for them to load truck and unload truck. Ryder does all the GM sort work of the parts, so all the parts GM uses to make a car come to Ryder first, then we run the parts to GM in the order they are needed, and the GM plant is only 1.5 miles away. We also pick up some parts from a few local suppliers, but they are also all in the same zone. I've done work like this, I really like it, it's very relaxing and non stressful..yea it's lazy man work, but I am a lazy man! I already aced my driving test and am scheduled tomorrow for the doctor to grope me and pee in a cup and then I start work Monday morning! I'm excited to be back to a good stable normal job.
