I got 2 friends that load the trucks there, and they say some of those doors/windows are heavy.
Wow, I searched the company I worked for but certainly didn't expect to find anything!
I've been with Shuster's Building Components for a little over 4 years.
I started at $14 hr and was at $17.25 at 2 years, currently over $18. O/T is paid over 40 hrs and we usually work a 4 day week with one or two 2 days runs. Real weekends, home Friday, leave Monday. Even with the building market in the toilet, I'm still getting 4-8 hours o/t each week.
I'm not sure why my co-workers would say they don't get paid for unloading-They're on the clock!, from pre-trip to fueling and post-trip, it's all paid. If the freight is too heavy you either drag it to the back or wait for help-customers are more than willing to jump in and lend a hand. I worked the dock for a week when I started here and have also had a taste of food service. I don't work nearly as hard as either one of those jobs require.
Anywho, you probably found a job by now and we're not hiring at the moment, I was just surprized that a company with only 20 +- drivers could have conflicting info just like the big boys!
