A friend of mine drives a residential packer and he gets paid piece work kinda. For instance, the computer says his route on Monday should take him 8 hours to complete. He can hustle and finish in 5 hours. He then returns to the yard and will pick up any uncovered routes (break downs, sick leave, etc) or just go home 3 hours early. He makes good money but Xmas time can be a pain because every route takes longer and they offer no extra pay. Truck fills up more regularly and he has to make more trips to the dump.
He actually prefers a route without riders. He would rather throw his own trash, says he can get done faster.
I will have to ask him about training. He has been there 5 or 6 years and loves it.
