Trash/Waste Hauling
I hear Trash Haulers and Waste Haulers make a damn good living.. is that a myth??

MYTH

Total myth. Those boys run hard and for as hard as they run, they don't get paid enough particularly the sludge haulers. If those guys made so much money hauling garbage, the O/O's would have nicer trucks instead of rags.

I can tell you firsthand, i haul trash here in North florida, and it's a myth. It could be different in other places of the country, but not here, i typically start my day around 1:30 am, and i'm doing good if I'm off by 4:30 that afternoon, Florida has a 16 hour local law, and for the most part i'm tapping that 16 hour clock on a daily basis. This is just my info on it, but i've been doing now for nearly a year and i haven't seen big money, i do decent, but nothing to write home about. But when you live in Florida, you better hang on to your job while you have it, some people may think i'm nuts for working these hours, but i'm just thankful to have a job right now.

The company I used to work for (the tri axle in my avatar) also hauled trash with walking floor trailers. The pay was $40 per load and you could only do 3-4 per day. That's $120 - $160 per day. The drivers averaged around $600 per week.
