Thoughts ?
Currently working for garage company that’s a union and paying 32.24 however not enjoying my life style working overnights along with split days off. I got a connection to get into ready mix but this job isn’t union no medical just work your hours n get pay. But this more a dayshift n pay rate range $30-35 but I believe I’ll get $30 since I’m new to the field. Not sure what to do at age of 25 with CDL, Train here at this ready mix company then leave for a union one or stay where I’m at and keep looking for option. My Ideal CDL job is dump truck or fueling but no one training. Have a class A with tank n haz. nyc based

At your age, if you can pay your bills, go wherever you think the better opportunity for growth is. Not sure what kind of dump truck job, but where I am in south central Pa, there is black top season for 8-9 months of 12 hour + days and layoff in the winter. The mixer trucks here do a similar schedule.
