The big pisser for me is this is the only career in America where you can earn less money for more work.
Hourly: Something happens, you spend more time, you get more hours, get more money.
Salary: Something happens, you spend more time, you get paid the same salary.
Mileage: Something happens, you spend more time, you make less money, maybe a lot less money.
It really is a crock.
I hate hourly jobs, because I'm the kind of guy who wants to get it the hell done and go home, and I hate those slow milk the clock days. I hate mileage jobs, because it's total BS to earn up to substantially less money for having to sit around through no fault of your own at all. I think salaried driving jobs are where it's at. Wish I could find another one (got laid off) that wasn't two states away with a company I don't really want to drive for.
Humbug.
(After I raised holy hell about the 20 hours I spent in the shop pretty much getting the entire fricking trailer rebuilt, they finally took a crowbar to their wallet and produced a whopping $45. $2.25 an hour boys and girls. Whoooooooo.)
