local gig in portland
 

try lanier brugh mail contractor based out of Portland 1800-922-2991

I hear its hard to get in union ?

If you get a job with a company that is union. They will hire you first, then after you get past a set amount of time you will have to join the Local that they have a contract with. The Union will let you know what the dues are going to be. Then you pay your dues and a initiation fee, and you are in.

So if i work at Tualatin Valley Transport Inc, and work lets say 50 hrs, they will pay those 10hrs same as 40 right ???

Also does anyone know phone # of Tualatin Valley Transport Inc

Yes all straight time according to "Dave". Portland has 100's of local trucking companies you will just have to start pounding the pavement and see whats out there

I wish i have more time when i go home, Prime give me a lot miles in last a few weeks so i don't have much time to search local job

How about you guys help me out by giving me some infos and phone # of those trucking companies in Portland

Someone already posted a link with phone numbers of all the trucking companies around here, half of which I've never heard of. There is also craigslist like someone else posted and.......carrierbuilders, jobdango, etc..........and the Oregonian has job listings posted online also

Maybe we could and apply and interview for you also.... :roll: :roll:

Typical eurotrash....

Ironically back in the 1930s when the FLSA was passed trucking was exempted due to the Teamsters. It was thought that their influence on wages made applying the act to trucking unnecessary.

If the freight is not crossine state lines (intrastate) then only the OR laws apply. If you documented your hours it could be worth your trouble to talk to an attorney that specializes in labor law.

I know a few months back there was a Court Ruling about OT for drivers in WA where the state court held that hours worked out of state counted towards to total for calculating OT.

Sure

BTW your not helping with that post
