Im in colorado bro . Starting up in commerce city on tuesday ! . I was driving semi trailers out of town and i wanted to do something local and the whole hiring process took about 3 weeks man thanks for the video

I had a phone interview with waste management as a front loader. I have a class A with OTR flatbed experience. Im waiting to hear back. Hoping the pay is as decent with them out here in Houston

You’re welcome. Hell yeah that’s exciting!

Can you go over the pay scale? Starting pay and what you can max out as? Also the different positions with the company?

@TrashyButClassy1776

There is 3 departments: Rear load, Front Load and Roll Off. Rear load is where 90% of people start off at which is the lowest paying. Right now they are starting at 24/hr. Front load pays the most that ranges from 27-40/hr. Roll off pays in between and is the easiest job. I wouldn’t necessarily say there Is a max pay.

I just got my phone call today and have my scheduled in person interview in a few weeks. My one question is, since I have my med card already (I am an OTR semi truck driver) which is good for another year, will they make me do another actual DOT physical as well, or will they just honor the card I already have and have me do the "can you push and pull 50 pounds" little deal?

From my experience they have you do the whole physical and med card thing again. Good luck!

@@TrashyButClassy1776 Ahhh okay that makes sense, I know some companies will honor your existing card (which I was kinda hoping cause I don't feel like waiting in line for another physical haha) but good deal. Fingers crossed the interview goes well, I've heard nothing but good things about Republic and they service my own neighborhood at home so I see them all of the time. Hopefully in a few weeks you'll have one more driver joining your ranks, up here in Michigan 💪🏾

@@TrashyButClassy1776 Update! Just had my interview yesterday. They said they are union in my area, I'd start as a bulk driver at $22.65 an hour (I'm from Michigan but the terminal I'd be out of services the Toledo, Ohio area). Definitely a bit of a pay cut to what I make now driving OTR, but with the benefit of being home every day and getting a mandatory 12 hour paid workout daily lol so I don't mind it. And apparently they're at the table with the union or whatever right now trying to get a "significant pay raise" by some time next year for the residential drivers. Not sure how true that is but that's what I was told! He also said that they'd honor my current medical card! Just have to do the drug test and the motor vehicle record stuff (which I know I'll pass both with flying colors cause I don't do drugs and my driving record is clean). He said depending on how well I do as a bulk driver I could move up to ASL within a few months, but obviously moving from that to commercial or roll off will take longer since they pay so much better and nobody wants to leave 🤣 And with it being unionized it all comes down to bidding and all that. They had about 3 or 4 open positions for drivers but like 10 or 11 people applied so they're going through all of the interviews now and seeing who they want, I should know if I got it or not within the next week so fingers crossed!

@@TrashyButClassy1776 they actually don’t have a number for me to call them… I applied onto waste management, I was surprised since I’m a Class A with experience but I guess that’s not my luck lol also republic service I have applied but haven’t got a recruiter to call me back either.

Head over to their actual shop that you applied to. Ask for the hiring manager and just see what your application update is. Hope that helps! Good luck my brother!

They sure can! There is a lot of women in the trash industry that drive.
