I was there for about 6 months and, yes, the pay is ridiculously low for what the job requires. As a driver, you are sitting in that patrol truck for 8 hours a day so if you like driving around, that's the job for you. You also have to pick up the road kill and report problems to Dispatch. You go to the gates that don't have bathrooms (Like Shaw gate) and cover for the attendant for about a half hour. Drivers have a long, tedious and boring day stuck in that truck. Gate Attendants have it worse! You are either stuck at a gate for 6 hours that hardly anyone goes through or you are so ridiculously busy (Morse South for example), it requires 2 of you during a shift.
