The best part about this job is that Amazon is one of the cleanest customers to deal with, big terminals, large parking areas, and easy in and out. It might pay low, but they can work anywhere after 3 years experience.

[@alishabazz7431]

Remember they get paid 40 hours a week and only work 3 days a week. That’s 1,000 gross for 3 days of work and off 4 days. If you work 4-5 days on your request it is all overtime pay. Usually those guys work their 3 days and have other small jobs or gigs they do on the other days they’re off. And it’s one of the most easiest and non-stressful jobs in the trucking industry. 25 is low for Cali definitely but only if you’re only depending on that alone but you can get more shifts if you want. And you’re always paid 40 hours as long as you work a full 3 days of work. That’s not too bad.

The only bad thing, at the time, was strict appointment times. No showing up early, and pick up between 3 am-4 am. I would usually sleep on the five or out in the desert going to Vegas. It was coo.

@@brittbrittortiz it depends on where you from out here in LA or Long Beach you’ll have to go to my LOCAL78 make an appointment take a simple math test take your GED OR HS diploma an go from there you’ll be on call ones your in it all depends on the motivation you have to keep moving up..trust me there’s lots of lazy ppl male an females in these union trades but the difference is that they don’t make their 40 hours a week fyi

Imagine driving a rig for $25 an hour when everyone else getting $40

[@5MGE]

yea but are the guys doing local stuff making $40 that aren’t driving for amazon? $40 does sound like a lot if you’re just doing local delivery

[@pdswrld5200]

$40 but with experience moron 😆Also $25 not bad as a beginner nd you barely starting to get experience

[@nmejias370]

Well, here's the thing, at least here in the UK after having gotten your brand new HGV licence and therefore you have zero experience, there're always recruitment agencies willing to offer you your first HGV role, however, there's always a catch, most of them will offer you minimum or anything close to, minimum wage.

I understand that but where can you go with no experience and get high pay?

[@kthnxbi8834]

Everyone is missing the point.. this guy got a job w zero experience. Walmart starts at 70k I believe w 2 years experience. Great way to get your foot in the door in my opinion. Imagine.. you’re making 25 an hour plus overtime AND you’re living w your parents. OP way to save for a house in my opinion. Most people don’t want to work. I do a little less that 120hrs a pay period (2weeks) and I’m right in track. And yeah I know not everyone can live w their parents.. but there are some people that can and that dumbfounds me.

Better to work for a small company instead of these big companies here in cali , I work for a small fleet and make 33$ hr after 8 ot after 10 double and get full benefits and weekends off .Amazon is the worst company to work for even for cdl .

[@traviskean7118]

25 bucks an hour in Southern California? That sucks. Of course when they keep importing cheap labor it's easy to keep the prices down.
