Am I being exploited?
Hello, I’m currently working in heavy civil construction. My drive time is around 3-4 hours a day to the closest job site. I have a company truck which is pretty much a necessity. I literally do everything from GPS, layout, labor, equipment operator, fine grader, asphalt roller, truck driver, pipe layer, pipe Forman, fucking you name it. Granted, I’ve only been in this industry for 2 1/2 years but everything they throw at me I’m pretty quick do it and do it right. I only net 900-1100 a week. Just health a dental as benefits go. No PTO no sick days no nothing. I don’t get paid for drive time. This makes my weeks around 60-75 hours and only get paid for 48-50 of them. It’s starting to drive me nuts as I made the same when the job was 20 mins away. I leave at 5:30am and don’t get home till 7 pm and I literally cannot get anything done throughout the week. I wouldn’t be bitching if I actually was making money. But 1000 a week in this economy is chump change if you actually want to live comfortably and have nice things. Just wondering if I’m being a bitch or I’m getting absolutely fucked over.
