a week & not getting paid overtime & no benefits. It got real old real fast working 85+ hrs. I quit driving for patriot waste a week ago. Also, if they treat you better at the big companies, this experience might help me get my foot in the door. Am I getting paid fairly? Do the big companies(Allied Waste & Waste Management) have these horrible problems I am currently experiencing? Are the hours too long where I work? Any feedback would be appriciated. I would just appriciate some feedback from anyone who has done this type of work or knows anyone that has driven garbage trucks before. I also enjoy doing route work, especially not having to get out of the truck hardly at all. Secondly, I have told 3 different people in charge about these problems & they keep telling me things will get better soon. Why haven't I quit you ask? Well, first of all I need the $$. The company mechanic said that DOT would shut me down immediately & he's right. I don't even have 3 reflective triangles or a fire extinguisher inside the truck. I am VERY seriously thinking about putting in my 2 week notice this week if the hours don't get better & if the trucks don't get safer. I have been there 5 weeks & already 3 drivers quit abruptly without notice. The other trucks at this company have similar safety problems & are pieces of #. I have been told to "roll with it" when I told my manager about 2 completely bald outside back tires 2 weeks ago. I get paid 125 dollars a day with no overtime. At my interview, my employer said that the company would offer health insurance in 3 months. I work Monday-Saturday & the hours average about 14 hrs. So far the job has been pretty rough going. I have finally started another job driving a garbage truck for Patriot Waste Service(a division of Titan Waste).
