Easy peasy. Funny story about a middle age man I know who got laid off from FedEx a couple months ago. Middle management with a master's. Salary north of $100k. He is running out of medical in a month. 6 months salary and benefits. He is having a tough time finding anything at half wages. GM and others are slashing middle management. So these new jobs are not paying as well, mostly. Truck drivers are in demand! Yeehaw!

That's how my company pays too, anything over 8 is OT holidays and Sundays are double time.

It sucks that I'm regulated by FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) and they only allow me to work 70 hours in 8 days then I have to take a 34 hour reset. I usually get 65-70 hours in 5-6 days though. I can only be on duty 14 hours a day with 11 hours being drive time. I'd work more if I could.

Shhh. You can always become an oil field business, 120 hrs a week when it was booming.

Drive 8 hrs to location, 10 hrs to setup a pump job, 5 hr to it tare down, 5 hrs to another location 5 hrs to set up.

The Oil Industry will abuse you with uncle sam's help.

Why do you listen to anything Bernie says? He is a proven ignorant liar.

Sander's Finances- BRING A SHOVEL
https://sandersguideblog.wordpress.com/2016/03/07/sanders-finances-bring-a-shovel/

Ever wonder about Jane's corrupt land deal at Burlington College which she lied to secure? Only one of the nicest properties in all of Vermont that was secured with Bernie's long time donor and friend Pomerleau, which after the school inevitably went belly up thanks to her (using the school to propel her families wealth at every turn)..., was flipped from public to private in record time and is now becoming a 735 waterfront housing unit.

Just another clown from Brooklyn trying to make sheep out of anyone dumb enough to follow his lead! Once Richard Snelling passed away unexpectedly it opened the door for these Bernie clown shoes brigade to jump in! 16 yrs in office here, done absolutely nothing positive!

why don't you just fucking give up? you find stupid inconsequential bullshit, tiny temporary improvements, that aren't even really improvements if you can take one step back from fucking fox and open your other eye....and try to claim they mean trump is doing a good job. he isn't. he never has. he never will. and know what? i don't give a fuck if he does...if he improves the economy to the best it has ever been or will ever be, i'd still shoot the fat orange cocksucker in the head if i thought i could get away with it...because he's an evil criminal fuck who is dragging my country through a nasty pig sty...so it makes no difference to me what he may do in the future. he's already earned the rest of his life in a cell, as far as i'm concerned, and you can go with him, and keep kissing his orange ass while wearing an orange jumpsuit
