I am not talking about big rig truck driver. I am talking about those truck drivers that delivery stuff to and from the factory in thier Uhaul type/style trucks.

Your example was terrible. How the christ could you outsource a delivery truck driver position?

I dunno, but I'd say it's not enough for a US delivery driver that's based overseas.

huh? i was talking about factory workers being outsourced


but I guess you can technically "outsource truck drivers." you can hire seasonal mexican migrant workers and let them deliver your payloads. migrants workers are allowed to work in the US legally

I think your numbers are a little off wrt the price of steak. $10/kg is not $22/lb. You went the wrong way. It'd be approximately $4.40/lb

Good job at providing an incorrect comparison to what OP listed.

A pizza delivery driver =/= short haul or long haul truck driver.

Totally makes sense. Let the migrant workers wait for their CDLs too!

Average safety director in the United States can be anywhere from $65,000 to well over $100,000 a year.

I make ~$36,000 a year. What makes it worse is that nobody is hiring safety personnel, despite there being a "huge demand" for us.

No degree.

"LOL THERE'S YOUR PROBLEM!"

Yeah, yeah...

I've built up a hefty resume since I've started and had other safety directors in other companies tell me that, without a degree, I should be making upwards of $55,000 to $60,000. College isn't the issue. It's the company.

I assumed she was talking about the actual driver of the truck making the deliveries being replaced by someone offshore.

Backend logistics makes sense to offshore.

It's not the company. It's your lack of education and experience. Our EH&S supervisor... that's right, not even a director level... makes $100K. He also has an engineering degree and 20 years of experience.

While your company may be the problem, I can guarantee you a company like mine... the one's that actually pay the numbers you think you deserve, would never hire you because we don't trust a high school graduate to oversee the health and safety of hundreds of employees in a dangerous environment.

I assumed she was too, but was trying to help her out with a plausible interpretation.
