30
hours a week on average waiting to get loaded. not paid for this. 15-16 hour
days. equipment constantly breaking down. no breakdown pay. overweight loads,
over height loads. walk on trash that looks like dog vomit just to roll up a
wet,slimy, stinking mesh tarp. no fall protection. can't get enough loads
because trucks, and or loaders constantly break down. called in every weekend.
when something goes wrong it's always the drivers fault. yep, great company to
work for.[/QUOTE]
Yup great company to work for indeed (not). Most companies Mr. BULTS included
boast good positions but when it all comes down to it pretty much is just
advertising. The real deal you will experience once employed. This said its not
a great experience. The negative reviews I have read are right on target and
then some. They sat however experience is the best teacher. Trust that.

I work in the wichita mr bults division currently. I have read the rest of the comments. I make great money for being home every night. We have a great manager here. He is on top of maintenance if there's a problem with equipment it get fixed no questions. We just traded 9 trucks out to another division and the trucks we got were newer and in worse shape than the ones we traded. The boss and mechanic spent a week and had all of them up to our standards. The job is what you make of it. Some divisions have good maintenance others not so much. I work on average of 50 to 55 hrs a week and still get great pay for it. Go to work for the company and make your own opinion of it.

What's
great pay? I worked out of Burnham ( Headquarters ) and we are the only
location that is Union and the highest paid out of any yard in the country. The
money doesn't match the hours worked. Comes out to $14-16 bucks an hour. Maybe
in Wichita that's good money but for driving a semi that's terrible
money.
The person making the money is Jim Bults that's why he flys his Helicopter to
work.

Hello, I have been with these guys for almost a year. Been driving for 20.. Your right. Jim Bults is the one that's making the $$$. Not us. I have "researched" what a heavy hauler should make. I have put time and effort into it. I talked to other drivers and went to a website called "US bureau of labor statistics. I've done my homework. I am coming up with $20.00 an hour and time and one half after eight. Ok this outfit pays by the load. I work hard smell rotten garbage all day except while driving. Methane gas ect. I do 3 loads a day. I work 11 - 12 hours. I make anywhere from $175.00 to $190.00 a day. That works out to $16.00 - $16.50 an hour at straight time. MBI is getting a 25% per hour discount for the use of my cdl. If Im waiting I don't get paid for the first 2 hours. After that it's $12.00 an hour. Same with breakdown pay at $12.00 an hour. This is BS. Tell your auto mechanic or home contractor his first 2 hours are free. They say if you don't like your job "quit". But I say it's sad to see big companies and not just MBI using guys like this. You bet that they are living large. So I will say thanks for reading my post. I will look for a company that will pay what it's worth . By the hour time and a half after 8. If not the the hell with it. Hang it up.

1 week with MBI/Mr. Bult's Inc. running trailers full of trash from transfer stations to landfills. Paid by the load, no breakdown or wait pay, started at 4:30am and ended around 4:30pm, changed your own tires and it was all hand rolled tarps so you had to wade through trash on top of a 53' trailer to tarp/untarp. The job wasn't worth it, I had the smell/taste of trash for a week after my one and only week working there.
