Oh fuck no.
I took on the “spare driver” role which paid $120/day because I was getting switched around all the time. The drivers on regular morning/afternoon run only got $90.
They say you’ll make $22 because “the routes only take an hour” 😳. Some routes that was true for, but not most of them.
So, minimum wage is $15/hr in our province and labour laws state that a split shift must pay a minimum of 3 hours per shift. So a minimum of 6 hours daily. Divide $90 by 6 and they’re paying $15/hour.
They’re always short drivers here, and are constantly training because of a 250% turnover rate. It’s ridiculous.
