Job Connections
Thursday, April 20, 2006 2:56 PM
I am lookin for a job connection into a good paying job with nice hours..

I am currently working for a trucking company making a decent amount of cash.. I am working alot more hours then I want.. I am working between 12-15hrs/day and about 60-70hrs/week (sometimes more)...

I am looking for a job possibly in the Durham Region area.. Paying $20+/hr..

Hopefully something in the construction field operating heavy machinery or driving transports locally.. But anything that pays good and has better hours then I work now would be a bonus...

I just want some more time off since working 12-15hrs a day doesnt leave you much time off.. When I also drive 30mins to work and 30 mins back form work..

If you know anyone that can get me a connection that would be great.. Or if you know of any places hiring that pay a decent amount would be good..

I would like to try to get into Miller or Hard-co (or companys like them).. Or the Town of Whitby or Ajax or Pickering.. City of Oshawa.. Durham Region Works Departments etc...

Any help would be great.

I feel your pain. I'm in the same boat.

All I can find is either crap-pay no-brain jobs with normal hours, or decent pay with hours and demands that are more akin to slavery than employment..

What the hell ever happened to the decent-pay 40-hour work week?
