This is the way they have done my increases........ if you run extra board you'll start at .4425? it may be more...then you will receive .0125 3x a year (every 6 mo. and a cost of living increase in nov.) maxing out at .5225 for extra board. and .5175 for green board(home every other day) .46 for hub drivers with dock pay. (drivers/lumpers).........From Denver to cali. The pay is more. I dont think the west term's. will recieve another increase til us minimum wage easterners catch up :ziplip:
.and my favorite thing, how they try to throw your hourly rate in your face as some sort of motivational tool. Maybe that sort of thing only happens here.
No GI was not union but at one time enjoyed a lot of the same (or close) benefits that the organized carriers had. As far as having junk equip they had there fair share especially during the years of being owned by ABF and Carolina who just ***** the profits and put very little back in. As far as not fixing anything I can only speak for the terminals that I ran from and into but they used to have some great mechanics and if something needed fixed it got fixed although they pinched the pennies just like they all do.And no we get very little now that we didn't recieve before but less and that is where most drivers gripes are. At one time we had co. pension and matching 401k,paid for all time on duty including breakdown, delay, and fueling.Overtime after 8 hours,5 paid sick days per year and a lot less years served to accrue 4 weeks paid vacation. Linehaul drivers have recieved a little better pay for vacation with E and most of the equip. is an upgrade but the lack of respect and the flat out lies that are made from upper management far out weigh any benefit that you may recieve. And no most of the people that had any time at the old GI are happy with the change but some of us have just learned to adapt and others have moved on. I hope this helps clarify, this is just one drivers perception.actually if you ask some "new"er hires at gi they will tell you that they recieved a pay increase. gi started over on their pay scale. the older drivers are making more than the newer drivers. most are very happy with the pay at estes. sure they don't get paid for fueling but they do get paid for stuff that they didn't before. and the trucks at gi where junk. gi never fixed anything all the city trucks poured oil out everytime they were started. i think there are a few that moved on felt they were gettin the screw but most are happy with the change. the contractors suck everyone can and will agree on that. runs gettin cut sucks system wide. this has been something thats started a year ago for everyone (contractors) (runs gettin cut). the ones that cry the most are on to better things now so they have and will be takin with a grain of salt. i never have seen a union term out west and i've been to about all of em. truck safe :smilie_132:
p.s. the reason for the difference is stupied in our pay scales if you are by hour then it sould be hourly pay if your running down the road it should be milage pay. 2 pay scales hourly and milage

beerboy said the "U" word on Estes forum.
Thank you Capt. Obvious With an assesment like that, I'm guessing you've finally made management here @ Estes?
