Two loads a day averaging between $250 and $300 pay out. Hours can get long, but nothing super crazy. I average 50 hrs a week and take home about $1500 after taxes. The dispatch/management team that I'm under is fairly hands off and allows the drivers the autonomy to run their days as they see fit. There are jobs that pay more but being home every night is worth the difference.

Pros

Home nightly, decent pay, economically insulated (there's always gonna be trash)

Cons

Equipment is pretty middle of the road. Underpowered trucks for the Northeast.

Pays by the load Wants drivers to run illegal when it benefits management. Management at all levels lack people skills and communication skills Dispatch has no clue what is going on out in the field Long hours Poor vacation and pto time based on hours in the truck Manager in Columbus ohio market talks bad about every driver and mechanic to other employees Company policies and rules only apply to certain drivers Management does not have the backs of the drivers or mechanics it’s always the employees fault never the customers or a third party even if the proof is in black and white 4 or 5 drivers I talked to in the year I worked there were in some way trying to have the manager fired for harassment and not doing his job. The work moral is horrible not towards the company but towards Kenny the manager and tony the dispatcher

Pros

Pay isn’t bad Monday-Friday Health insurance is good Newer tractors

Cons

Pto time Poor management Poor dispatch Forced dispatch Poor communication Over staffed

Equip & Maintenance do not break down or need repair -- it will be worse than what you were driving to begin with. That is if and only if you can get it looked at after it is reported. Management is a joke Run 65+ hours so you do not have to run on Sat!

None

Work like a dog, treated and talked to like a dog. Trucks breaking down allot. Dispatch tries to bribe you out of different pays.

Pros

The union health is amazing

Cons

From dispatch up all think they are God and above the law

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.

The Quickest You Ever Quit An Trucking Job...

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.
