Will do, thanksCheck in every now and then on TB, Ted.
Good
Luck to you.
Nah, I like listening to you old coots!
Send us pictures.....Of your new truck, with mirrors, if it has any.Nah, I like listening to you old coots!
Ok BRG, I think you're an all right guy, but that's a little creepy! Makes me want to fold them in at night!
Best of luck to you, Brother Ted! I actually applaud people who can ‘see forward’ and make hard decisions that will benefit them...and their families, even it means giving up some things like multiple weeks of paid vacation. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard people say: “I’d leave, but I don’t wanna lose (x) weeks of vacation.” To hell with that! Over the years I’ve left jobs where I‘ve had 3, 2, 3 and 4 weeks vacation and never batted an eye.
Yeah I had two weeks, almost three. But what I'll save in commute expenses and insurance will be 7,000$ per year. My wife has 16 years minimum and I'm at 15 minimum before I retire. Our youngest is 12 so she will be on wife's an for at least 10 years through college. Wife's plan is either single or family, regardless of number of family. Better bennies too. This is a small operation I'm going to with no health insurance so I can go on wife's at no additional cost. In Ohio at least, you are required to take your employers benefits if offered and have to pay a premium to go on spouses if your employer offers them. So 7000$ to the black and no commute time (1.5 hours a day currently) it makes sense. Schedule is more friendly with the way our home life is. Two to three nights out, start late Sunday or early Monday and done by early afternoon Friday for same pay as a 52 hour week at current rate. Wasn't really actively looking, just kind of fell into my lap.
Have your new company put gps trackers on those mirrors. Never know. They could end up on a Coop tractor in Moldavia.......
Looks like you researched it heavily and all the boxes were checked. From the way it looks, it can’t help but be a positive move for you. Keep us updated!
Good luck. You will be fine
This actually was my second time around. If it doesn't work I'll be scanning the intraweb for "Grasscutting for dummies" written by Mr. BillyLo. I think we're separated by enough geography to sustain operations.
Good call, Ted! I bet today you’re feeling like a big weight has been lifted? How was your last day at R & L?
It was a little weird, lots of handshakes and congratulations . Ironically our SCM was off all week so I dealt with assistant SCM whom I respect. Worked out nicely.
