2 bucks an hour diff in one 40 hour week is 80 bucks. times 4 is 320.a month more money, gross. Medical coverage like c-6 central states is 0 dollars a week @ ABF. union dues are 60 bucks a month. The same exact medical coverage @ OD or Fed EX will cost any employee @ least 100 bucks a week for family coverage. And that 400.00 a month medical premium you pay is after takes have been taken out. Say 25% off the gross means you are paying 500.00 a month after withholding. And OD does not pay OT until after say you have worked 45 or 50 hours. From the looks of things it is pretty dam expensive to work for that 2 bucks an hour more. I could tell you about other costs versus wages, but I wont. Just remember the grass is not always greener on the other side. Before hiring on with someone, look past the hourly & find out how much the medical will run weekly, deductions, out of pocket expense, on a $100,000 surgery, what is my out of pocket cost versus the other offer you have. Remember for the rest of your life, it is the details that can slap you up side the head. von.
