Yeah, Todd, fuck you

Remember folks. They get a tax break for saying they are actively hiring. It doesn't mean they have to hire people. This is exactly what they are doing. They know nobody will apply.
ComStar6@reddit
One more tax break to get rid of. Stupid ass tax code
Ogbunabalibali@reddit
I prefer all the tax breaks i can get.
Or we can just get rid of income tax all together. That would be phenomenal.
Mechanic_Dad-23@reddit
Good night Matilda, what is that dogshit pay? I get more than that as a first-year and fewer miles per week than that requirement, unless I ask for more miles.
Horus_Whistler@reddit
. 30 a mile for hazmat what in goddamn
The_Chimeran_Hybrid@reddit (OP)
I saw it on indeed, saw the pay headline was 30 cents and thought, “that’s gotta be a typo.”
Nope.
ANiceDent@reddit
Apply with an application named
“30 cents ain’t enough”
I hit a few local companies that had ads up for years by me with it do your part Lol
The_Chimeran_Hybrid@reddit (OP)
The fools went and added their phone number to it too.
I don’t really feel like it right now, but if some people want to counteroffer with something just as outrageous, let me know.
Savagemocha@reddit
Hey my company is hiring. We offer competitive pay with other local companies! We like our drivers taken care of! .35 cpm

Man, these are some tough options. You two are gonna have to do a bit of fighting if you want to hire me.
The_BreadThatGotAway@reddit
If they have you driving through Ohio ever, their pay should start at 1.50pm. Ohio is apparently the Bermuda Triangle for hazardous materials rn.

Somebody's living in the past like 1972

This is how you kill people. Only the worst of the worst are willing to do shit like this.
Naborsx21@reddit
I failed a pre employment drug test a while back and I would've taken this if i hadn't found something else. There's people out there that one mistake and finding a job feels hopeless and rents still due on the first heh.
SPFBH@reddit
If you don't mind me asking, why would you take a drug test for a job if you knew there was a risk of pissing hot?
Naborsx21@reddit
Well I did wait a while , well over 30 days since last using it and applying for jobs , guess I didn't wait long enough shrug
king_rootin_tootin@reddit
That's why you should always home test for a week to make sure
chaoz2030@reddit
I paid $60 and got tested at a lab that had the same cutoff as dot. I know it's to late for you but for other people reading this don't take the chance . Pay a lab to test your shit before pre-employment
wolfsdragan@reddit
Or better yet don't do shirt that will male you pics hot
chaoz2030@reddit
This was before I had my CDL . What I did was legal where I was at. I decided I wanted my CDL so I waited until it was out of my system and tested myself to make sure it was out of my system.
Naborsx21@reddit
Yeah absolutely. SAP is expensive and hardly anyone will hire you.
If anyone's reading this don't chance it and be a dummy
SPFBH@reddit
You were probably either a heavy user or, no offense, have more fat on your body. Its stored in fat so people with more fat... it takes longer for it to to away.
Just an FYI to anyone looking at becoming a trucker. Research and take at home or send away lab tests BEFORE testing to get into trucking.
Naborsx21@reddit
Yeah I'm aware how it works, lol just didn't wait long enough and trusted an OTC test shrug it happens.
SPFBH@reddit
Man, that sucks that the at home one didn't work out for you. The lab ones are a lot better though.
Also a lot of mega's are now testing hair. I think that's very odd, but it's a thing.
Naborsx21@reddit
Yeah it's wild because once you go through SAP your log books say you just came back from a two week vacation everyday
It's pretty fun.
Heh heh all in the name of safety baby.
The_Chimeran_Hybrid@reddit (OP)
I’m sure they’ll have plenty of applicants.

If you want to apply be my guest.
SkullyBones2@reddit
Hell no..I'm in kind of a bad place in trucking right now. To the point I'm probably going to take a bottom feeder job just to pay the bills till I get the certifications in to join the maritime industry and I wouldn't even consider taking that job.
SkullyBones2@reddit
Well they won't be getting a lot of rookies. Hell the mega carriers that are training them are at least offering 0.45-0.50 a mile.
That's simply insanity. Especially for a hazmat endorsement. And the miles a week...what? So we'll run the hell out of you AND not pay you squat? Wow.
SkullyBones2@reddit
Hell for anything. That's not even rookie pay these days.
Nozerone@reddit
That's "no one else will hire me, and I need a job and don't care how much it pays" desperation pay. Which are usually the kind of people you definitely don't want running hazmat.
Straight_Bathroom775@reddit
Man, Western Express pays more than that 🤣
MahoneyBear@reddit
That was exactly what I said when I saw that lol
SkullyBones2@reddit
I'm not proud of it but I'm in that boat because of a ticket 2.5 years ago. I'm gonna take a job just to keep bills paid but even I wouldn't sink that low.
Then there's the weekly miles. So they wanna run a driver 3100 miles a week and not pay them? That's insane. Todd either doesn't know trucking at all or he's a really shady s.o.b.
That level of pay is criminal.
roblee2824@reddit
.30 a mile. This can't be real.
Crytpoboywonder@reddit
NEVER WORK FOR .3CPM
driverman42@reddit
I was making $.36 @mile in 2001 driving for an O/O. This is nuts.
UhOhAllWillyNilly@reddit
You were doing really, really well back then, that was excellent pay for the time. Crikey, I started in 2008 for 30-something CPM.
socialrage@reddit
Back in 2001 when I went OTR it was common to get .38 plus another .04 in bonus.
UhOhAllWillyNilly@reddit
So apparently wages went down between 2001 and 2008. Dang. I’m old and can’t remember exactly but I think I started at like around 31 CPM back then (maybe 32). I got extra for extra stops, etc. Did that for 3 years then I worked for a guy for $200/day flat rate for another 3 years Monday-Friday. So you guys were making more and the dollar was worth more back then too.
Saffyr3_Sass@reddit
In every industry, yes.
UhOhAllWillyNilly@reddit
And then everything went straight to h€ll in the recession of ‘08- which was right when I started driving.
driverman42@reddit
Yes, I was with him for 12 years, and he paid me well no matter what I pulled. I stayed with him until 2005 when he retired. He was great to drive for.
Yankee6Actual@reddit
Hell, I was making 20 CPM when I first started driving
In 1988
KingHauler@reddit
Name and shame. Fuck this low paying trash. 3100 miles a week???? Jesus christ.

To be fair it says small potatoes trucking bc that’s exactly what they’re paying 🤣🤣
Truckin_Dave@reddit
Kiss my ass for 30 cents a mile. .30x3200 is 960 a week. Imagine grinding your 70 out just to get 600 bucks after taxes. I’d go back to factory work before that shit
The_Chimeran_Hybrid@reddit (OP)
I’ve linked the indeed posting on some comments here if you want to take a look at it. They require six months of experience.
toruk_makto1@reddit
Just wow
RackingUpTheMiles@reddit
I'm currently working on getting my CDL and my dad swears I absolutely have to do OTR. I told him that's really not the case anymore and I see so many OTR jobs that are paying ridiculously low.
yourlmagination@reddit
Making 6 figures, home every day, never done (and never will do) OTR. Look for local grocery chains or whatnot, they usually want some experience, but will let you yard jockey to gain it oftentimes
RackingUpTheMiles@reddit
To me, it's a job. I'll make sure I do it safely and do a good job, but I'm ultimately in it to make money.
yourlmagination@reddit
Tbh, I'm getting out of trucking sooner than later. Always been safe, been doing it for years, but my body is telling me it's time for a change
RackingUpTheMiles@reddit
Yeah I'm not really planning on doing it long term. Don't get me wrong, it's neat to drive one and it's a good skill to be able to safely operate such a large vehicle, but I'm also interested in medicine or nursing in the future so the plan is really to save up a bunch of money and go to college for whatever else I'm interested in.
ComStar6@reddit
Non union pay. 30 cents, fuck yes It's the best
stripperjnasty@reddit
30¢ a mile is egregious
nosjitbro@reddit
$0.30/mile. All you need to do is drive 7000 miles/wk. No sweat.
jonsalas@reddit
Yeah $945 for over 3000 miles a week doing hazmat. That’s a big fat fucking nope. The fact that companies think that wages like this are acceptable is a slap in the face.
robexib@reddit
30cpm for haz-mat, no real schedule, and 3k miles a week.
You're expected to run likely 70 hours a week for maybe $1k a week.
I make more working 40 hours a week out of a janky outfit in the outskirts of a small city mostly hauling paper. This employer is legitimately delusional.
CobraWasTaken@reddit
Yeah I can't believe I only made .37 in 2017 when I first started driving. But I was very poor so it seemed like a lot of money to me at the time.
ConstantMelancholia@reddit
"Janky outfit, hauling paper". Sounds like System Freight 😅
robexib@reddit
Nope, but they've offloaded some of their shit to us.
daemonescanem@reddit
Hell, I worked 30 hrs the week before last & grossed 2k. These companies lol
Unique-Ad-2544@reddit

I see these all the time in my area, and I apply to every single one. I want to look these people in the face, and see if I can figure out which screw came loose. Ill waste their time if I have some to spare. I will pretend like I am showing up to work tomorrow, and then call in with a flat tire. Apologize, and keep it as good as possible. Then call in with an stye. Yeah, bitch, I got a stye. I can't drive.
I hope everyone does this.

Ah, a Russian-mob affiliate. Any carrier based near the Chicago area is not to be trusted.
GrimmCanuck@reddit
That's not even 1000/week. What a joke for those expectations. Some companies are laughably ridiculous. Delusional is an understatement.
vadroko@reddit
30 cents. Damn. My first job at a mega in 2012 paid more than that.
kanofcorn@reddit
That's in the neighborhood of $18.00 an hour. Our local grocery store pays $17-18.
Todd can take a flying leap.
uberamish63@reddit
I'm wondering...did he forget to include drop and hook pay and touching trailers, as well as other " other compensation "
Heavy_Emu_1143@reddit
I just started training with Schneider for a Walmart dedicated...... At 53cpm. Just passed my CDL test last month.

I hope that the company goes bankrupt and can't even afford to pay their drivers a fare wages, especially for hazardous material.
LieslHale@reddit

ursisterstoy@reddit
Sounded okay until the pay at the bottom
CatfishCharlie1984@reddit
Maybe if someone had 2 DUIs and a bunch of points and felonies. No "respectable" driver would take this. Haha. I'd hold out for something better even if I just got a CDL and was green as could be. That's crazy. We start newbies that can barely shift gears out at $0.59
Unfair_Fisherman_605@reddit
Yup this place can Fuck Right Off for that rate!
Unique_Ant9445@reddit
.30 cents? Dude wants a whole fleet of foreign white volvo mafia dorks driving bare feet on the dash, phone in hand all day long

To quote George Carlin:
Hi Tucker, I'm Todd. Hi Todd, I'm Tucker. Fuck Tucker, Tucker sucks. And fuck Tucker's friend, Kyle. that's another soft name for a boy, Kyle. Soft names make soft people. I'll bet you anything that ten times out of ten, Nicky, Vinnie, and Tony would beat the shit out of Todd, Kyle, and Tucker.
MasterpieceAmazing87@reddit
Apply and when they call you ask about the pay then laugh n make fun of em n hang up

People post ads like these to fish what kind of idiot will actually take it. They'll repost the same ad a month later with a slightly higher pay and keep doing it until someone applies.

Hopefully they are applying and then ghosting to dude
eitsew@reddit
Your take home pay would be like 7 or 800 bucks after tax... for 3100 miles driving hazmat... fuck you, Todd
You could just work at McDonald's or something and probably make more, in less hours, for a less dangerous job, and go home every night. I suppose anybody who would accept that pay deserves it, but wtf
lildobe@reddit
Fucking hell, when I started with Werner as a trainee in 2005 the pay was more than 30cpm.
andyandtherman@reddit
I made that rate nearly 30 years ago. Fucking ridiculous.... They're only paying it bc someone is desperate/inexperienced/foolish enough to accept it.
TruckinUncleEdd@reddit
Geez...I was making .32 a mile in 1990. This ad can't be for real.
Jazzlike-Election840@reddit
haha that's hysterical
jgremlin_@reddit
If I had to guess, I'd say this is an ad created by Indeed themselves. The idea being to create an ad that absolutely no actual drivers will respond to thereby allowing them to get a feel often their competitors are using Indeed ads to generate sales leads.
As a hiring manager, I know I get lots of cold calls from competitors of Indeed saying 'hey I saw you were looking for drivers, I'd love to help you with that...' Its actually one of the things that makes using Indeed annoying as an employer.
Quiet_Watercress4457@reddit
Fuck Tod!
amazingmaple@reddit
I'd apply and say you made a typo. It should be 30 percent of gross on the truck
