I'm a Carpenter with 21 years experience who works for a Western Massachusetts design build (for about 3 years now).
I get Paid $24/hour to run jobs as a lead carpenter. I remodel homes (bathrooms, kitchens, basements, etc) and do a lot of new construction too (decks, additions, garages, gazebos, etc).
The company spots for half my Health insurance (no copays, $3000 deductible, basic catastrophic), $40 of gas a week (about 1/2 of the gas I use for work), and a $500/year tool allowance.
We are required to have our own work truck and supply all work tools, and even allow helpers on site to use said tools. This is a HUGE array of tools needed (saws, planers, routers, jigs, everything) and they take up a ton of space at my house. My personal phone and personal computer is needed on a regular basis too.
I bought a van in 2003 new and it has served me well, but it's now at the end of it's life.
My Problem is that I am feeling awful about having to buy a truck. I would only be using the truck for work (I share a car with my SO that we use for personal travel, and it suits me fine for that). I don't feel good about buying used because I'm new to the area and I already got ripped off once; plus I dread having to pay for the repairs. And buying new makes my head spin at how expensive work trucks have gotten ($30K+!!!).
It just FEELS like I'd be buying a truck for the company. I like the company but this is starting to become a major mental road block for me. Is this a bad deal or do I just have a bad attitude?
I'm open to ideas on things I could ask the company to do for me to lessen the burden of having to finance a big, expensive vehicle for a company I don't own or plan on working for until retirement. Or you can try and talk me into buying the truck, I dunno...
