I am 22 years old. I have no education other than my HS diploma & my Class B CDL. I drove a school bus for one school year in order to get "free training" for my CDL.
I drove for them from 9/05 until 6/06, 30 hours a week, $12 per hour. No benefits, sick days, holidays, etc. I could have gotten the same training for about $1,500 from a CDL driving school & not had the nightmare of driving the school bus (were we really that bad?).
Since June, I've been driving a truck for a linen service. Two 10 hour days, a day off, two 10 hour days, 2 days off. My days off are Sunday/Monday, plus Thursday.
I get $12 per hour & my employer offers health insurance for $145 per month. They pay $75 per month. The deductibles & co-pays are pretty high. We only get a few paid holidays & only 2 sick days. After a year, you get vacation of .015 hours for every hour worked. In a 2,000 hour year, thats 30 hours off. This job sucks. I need to get a better life. Should I join the military? There's not much else
