It won't make you rich but it has full benefits, a regular pay check and you don't need specialized experience or education.

I saw that also, no salary range given.

GrimReaper · Aug 2, 2019

Probably around 12/hr

Snow removal? Is that using a shovel or sitting in a dump truck while it plows the roads? Very important distinction.

so that's roughly 14-15/ hr. With state bennies. Not bad starting I guess.
Jim my guess would be shovel/ snow blower if they do snow similar to the County. Dump trucks would be for the guys on the road maintenance crews who are already assigned trucks..

I'm making more than that working part time for Costco, near home. Not going to drive to laurel for less than what I'm currently making.

This got my attention, tried to point my son in this direction.

BENEFITS:

The MDTA is committed to retaining and expanding our work force through career growth and development. Investing in the future of our employees makes good business sense.
On-the-Job Training:

Commercial Driver’s License (CDL)
Work Zone Safety
CPR/AED & First Aid
Specialized Heavy Equipment

Employees are required to obtain their CDL during the probationary period.

Those two will bump earnings potential quickly.

I assume the State would train them for the CDL?

I would think so. Harford County does. Once a new hire gets their license, it doesn't take long for them to figure out they can make a lot more than $30k elsewhere :sad20:

Benefits are great for the older worker , but the younger worker wants money . And Art3 is right once the person/worker gets a CDL or other certificate's they don't hang around long . One county boss told me that they have a hard time holding on to help .

Our benefits were great. They're still really good, but get a little whittled down every year. Plus, benefits won't pay a mortgage or keep the lights on :sad20:

$30k is tough to live on (especially if you like collecting guns :innocent0

). If I hadn't gotten a higher paying position within HCPS after my first five years with no raise (bringing home less than when I started because health insurance went up), I absolutely would have applied elsewhere, most likely American Infrastructure...with my taxpayer funded CDL.

. I saw quite a few guys move on to bigger and better...some even before they were off probation.

I'm struggling to find, let alone hold onto, a $30k roofer. :sad20:

Right, and people will actually have to get drug tested in the private industry unlike HCPS. LOL

Anyone with a county or school system job AND a cdl are subject to random drug testing. Teachers, admin etc don't need a cdl so can party like it's 1970's every night if they want to without worry.
I got called for a random last week. 3rd or 4th time in 24 years.
As for bennies, when a family member has cancer and goes through chemo and radiation you're damn glad you have them. I was....

I know the CDL operators get random, I was just poking fun at him. Art always has good posts/info on here.

Gotta have some fun around here...
