Bro, I took control of my destiny 30 years ago and retired from Saia @ 57 now just working part time for insurance
I cut out the 401 k contribution and that offset the 5% cut. How can your gross pay be the same if you are on the same run (same miles, drop and hook pay, etc)? There should be a drop unless you are working a little more to make up the difference.
I contend that a minor lifestyle change is more than enough to offset any pay reduction. I was working on reducing my family's debt service anyway before this happened. The net effect is relatively minor as a result.[/QUOT
Have no real reason to be affected by this anymore. I hung it up>
