So you’re going to give up $25k a year on the pretense of having to pay $7k deductible. Brilliant! $55wk is a great trade off for another $25k a year! Plus I’m sure their retirement package has to at least rival ours!!! Lol. SMH

When you shake, is there a rattle?
I can see you have a hard time with common sense!
That’s funny. Ignorance is curable, stupidity is a completely different challenge.
I suggest you go back through the entire thread and read it.
It seems to me you completely misunderstood aztec’s post. I may be misinterpreting your intent or your sarcasm.
If so, I apologize.
If you are so inclined, please take a survey of the members and have them rate my common sense or lack thereof.

It’s always room to learn something new or something you may have forgotten, don’t get cockyYa, nothing like a 20 something wide eyed Opie explaining safe driving to a 3 million miler.
I’m quite unassuming. Haven’t been outta the yard in years.
This thread has some good food for thought. It is important to gather information on wages and benefits. But one of the intangibles that's hard to measure is the friendships that have been built up over the years working somewhere. Maybe not always close friendships, but people that you are comfortable with and they can tolerate you. Let's be honest we all know if it was strictly about what we are compensated this company would cease to exist. I beleive, we can vote no( haven't decided yet) on the first vote and if we're lucky they bump up the front load .25. - .50 , but in reality, if we really want to maximize our earnings and get payed more , this is not the place you will do it at.
Some make more than me , some make less but it does not matter to me either way. Unless people are living way above their means we all make as good salary and make enough to provide a good life for us and our family. But even with the money we make you have to still be smart with your money. Some people live above their means so no matter what they make they will always be broke. Other people act their wage, keep debt low and actually enjoy life knowing they don't have to worry about making making their bills next week if they take a day off.... It's about what you save not what you make.
My old truck just died, Transmission fell out of it, Bought it in 2006 for 1000 dollars and drove it to work ... 13 years, it looked funny sitting beside all those 50k+ trucks in the lot but I hate to see her go but I bought another truck
Bought me this 2006 GMC 2500HD with the 6.0 122k from my neighbor who took real good care of it and it was always serviced, I never had a GM product but I really like this truck.

Wait till you start putting gas in that 6.0
I drive a 2004 Silverado, just turned 100k, still love it, white also, you need white with the sun down here,makes a big difference.
I don't worry about the gas... I have a 99 saturn I drive back and forth to work most of the time... got this to pull my boat and drive in the rain... We keep the Challenger in the garage when it's wet out
Update, my mazda gear shifter was just stuck in 4th... after working with it a few mins the shifter broke free and I will continue to drive itMy old truck just died, Transmission fell out of it, Bought it in 2006 for 1000 dollars and drove it to work ... 13 years, it looked funny sitting beside all those 50k+ trucks in the lot but I hate to see her go but I bought another truck

I see you you feel. But consider that there are a lot of big mouth seniority SOB’s that, alot of us would enjoy watching them learn humility, filling out bs job applications where all the sudden - they’re nobody’s. It’s the only bright spot to this bad situation.

Saia out west topped out at .66cpm .68cpm rockies and triples(June-July rumors to be .68cpm or more) hourly 28.62hr.should go up in June. I pay single for healthcare/dental/vision $65 a week. 6% match 401k day 1 once enrolled you are vested. LTL experienced drivers can start out topped out at most terminals. Sign on bonus at some terminals. Paid weekly. You can transfer to any terminal and KEEP your seniority and pay scale. If it’s in between a bid you’ll be placed on system(Extraboard) til the next bid. Then you’ll bid your spot.
