There's a guy at our barn who buys dispatch a Subway sandwich every week.

I don't care, as long as I clock my 40 hours per week in, I'm happy. I'll take a little bit of OT here and there when I can, but if I wanted to make more money I'd go linehaul.

The *** kissers are getting their forty +, time served does not matter. The guys that have been there longer and refuse to put on knee pads and swallow consider themselves fortunate to get five full days of work.

The reason I was curious about tundra's spelling of arse is because that particular spelling is used down under where my wife is from and I lived their for 10 yaers before we came back to the USA, just thought we may have hooked up with one of her countryman.

The worst part seems to be wondering 'when is this going to level out'. As far as pay, we got our annual raise just before the official changeover. The teams got a decent bump-up, the single drivers got almost nothing. We're told to expect to be up to FXF standards soon . Not soon enough. Benifits are a bit better the best upgrade being the Co. pays the disability ins. My wife is out on med. leave now.
