well they'll have a lot of drivers who work for nothing when pjax people come over you can make ok money here but they only pay you when the wheels are turning i made 56,000 in 2006 top drivers made in the 70's
More pay cuts to come...
You haven't heard about Phase 2 and Phase three of the new pay structure.
Phase 2 is paying dock time at dock worker pay, not driver pay.
Phase 3 is a graduated mileage pay. 500+ gets 52 cpm, 400+ gets 53, and the rest get 54.
City drivers are going to get hit next. Mark my words.

Where ya gettin your info?,could it be considered a reliable source? I'll tell all y'all I've been here about 6 months, consider myself to have a pretty positive attitude about work, life in general, BUT!!! Some of the things I'm seeing here are not positive at all, the taking away of the pin pay for the linehaul drivers being one.
We have had 3 people quit here in Lexington this week, 2 part time dock, and 1 full time driver. All the city runs are being run with little to no time for delays, traffic, etc..., morale at our terminal is low to say the least, some drivers even working through their meal and break periods, with no compensation. Bids are a joke!!! and the drivers have no one to blame but themselves as they are coming in earlier or later than their start times when callled and told, yes I said told not asked to do so.
Hey gearraker how ya doin?, remember this is a forum, and forums are used to discuss events and opinions, so anyone who has an opinion is entitled to air it here. That doesn't mean because they are dissatisfied with their particular situation, they should have to be quiet about it or seek another job, they can and should do exactly as they are doing!!!, sharing info with other people going through similar situations so they can hopefully resolve them to everyones satisfaction.
Just my .02 worth
Take care y'all and be safe.

Can you say NMFA? When they start taking stuff away, it's time to shore up the leak and fight back. Why should you guys work for less than what the average Teamster road driver makes? Start threatening union and they will forget all about taking stuff away.
