Hey, I was just stating fact. Dont get me wrong. I will, Like you compare my W2 with anyone. Especially one that is home every day and off two days a week.Does it really matter?
This whole New Century issue is getting old.
Yellow and Roadway both make more per mile than we do but I never see a thread asking why.
What matters to me is the bottom line. I make less per mile than other LTL carriers but at the end of the year, I make more.
Why? Because I can.
New Century is no longer even in the same league as us and if you'd pay attention, you would see this.
I say 3 cents per mile, great for them.
Show me the money!!
At the end of the year, I would compare W-2's with ANYONE in the LTL industry.
It is my opinion as a former Jevic Drver for almost 11 years and an intimate knowledge of how the pay is at both Jevic and N C (next chance for ex jevic people) that the few cents difference that you see on paper quickly evaporates when it comes to pay day . some of the hardest workers at NC will tell you that the pay miles can be off by as much as 20 percent sometimes on a run .
My own experience with jevic was 10 percent difference at most on a bad day. Durring my years of line haul between J-1 and JA ,J6 and J2,and J6 and J5 I watched as those trips payed less miles every year . I had meetings with the man in charge of linehaul at the time and asked him how do you get to Chicago in fewer miles than on I 90 from J6 . He said thats what it pays . The next year the milage would shrink yet again .and we would repeat the process . That man was the Wiz kid for Harry, Mr Jerry Shields .
Jerry left Jevic to be in charge of smoke in mirrors at "Next Chance" for Harry . to this day he is still shorting distances between points to "control cost" . And when drivers Question how do you get from point A to point B in this many miles? they are told thats what it pays ,if you don't like it maybe you should work elsewhere ...
Don't let Trouble makers and rumor mongers get you worked up . Drivers are arguing everyday about money and miles at N C with Shields,Wagner,and D'Angello .
Some drivers left Jevic early out of "loyalty" to Harry .some more went because they no longer qualify as Jevic drivers (accidents) and still more as they believe the grass is greener tales .
which one are you scull?
good luck to everyone and remember I'm watching you because I'm Still A Fan :smilie_132:
