My advice is to catch one of the drivers at the term. your thinking of getting on board with unless someone on here is from your neck of the woods--good luck to yaAnyone wish to tell me what P&D pays at Estes ?
Equipment good ?
The good and bad ?
how much per hour, how much you pay for health. let us know?
I've been working with my customers to point to what door they want me to back into whenever I show up open my door pull the plate get their freight close it up then come out and tell me they moved my next stop to the tail sign off and tell me thnx for del.to themThe pay varies per terminal but it's very close to the same. The terminals at/or near my barn was topped out at $21.50 over 5 years ago. They all have gotton a raise every year since then. I never really talk to the local drivers much about it. Most are unsure what the majic number is. I think they got .50 cents every year since then. I would say they are getting at least $24 an hour now. I'm told the Chicago area drivers get $1.35 more and the Estes west get's more than that. The bene's are around $40 a week for a good family plan. They have more expensive options and cheaper options. The best part of working here is how laid back it is. P&d is a very very easy job. You will probably gain 30 or 40 pounds.

I don't know what term you work at but the boys up here don't gain weight in P & D
I have 1 other question - I have been reading thru the ESTES forum and have noticed that some or most are Anti-Union ( U ). I worked for YRC for 4 years and am layed off with not much of a chance of recall. Since I worked for a union company- Does that mean ESTES won't hire me ?
THank you for your time and Answers
What ??? fishing ??? i ain't ever ..... we have and will employ many more ex union drivers. most any driver in the U.S.A. with any experience has or been involved with the union one way or another. so we all would not be working here if this was the case
Hey, if i'm not alowed to say UNION here how come you guys are. I'm filling discrimination charges... They do hire ex-union driver's by the way. I think most ex union guy's will like it here. The one's I talk to like it better. I don't think Estes goes looking for ex-union guys but they will hire them. Wheeew I got it out of my system. I just wanted to see how many times I can get away with saying union again. It's been a while, but ya'all got me started.
psst......yewnyen.
