Rumor that 8 Line just been let go at Ind
I dont work here, but you asked. Started 1970. Backed into a car 1977.Before you talk smack you should have to disclose everything that's on your file at every job you've ever had. If its empty than you can run your mouth.
My wife tells me old guys like us have Great Long Term Memories. Just cant remember our way around the neighborhood. I (conveniently) forgot to take out the trash....Is your memory this good about everything?
My brain just exploded.
Friend of mine was told by an OD Indy driver a bunch were let go from the City.I heard last month they were going to trim in Indy

2 1/2 million OTR (a lot of that twice a week over the Rockies) 1 million more in 22 years City. Need more??? 65 yr old, not retiring because 1: Central States Pension broke, so maximizing SSI. 2: I'd be bored. 3: still in shape to play full court basketball against teenagers. Figure, long as I'm healthy and happy, who cares? Plus, my Boss wont let me retire. Says the old guys are the ones who work...

There is a new line of Jimmy’s products coming out this year that are large enough so people can be buried with a favorite piece of their past. Like a motorcycle, or mower.Billy, you should talk with with Jimmy about his "lay away", or "pay as you go plan"
This guy will be the last to let you down.
We only have 90 OTR drivers nationwide combined. We need 2 in Indy, and a as many as they can get in Batesville Ind. Always need more in Los Angeles, Dallas, and Allentown. 86 warehouses in the USA and Canada. Manufacturing plants in Indiana, Tennessee, Mississippi and now Chihuahua. About 350 straight truck drivers. Those don't make squat. Top out a out $22 per hr EVENTUALLY. And they unload 300 lbs caskets. Applications are only thru Batesville website.That ol gig pay anything? Don’t see many Bates trucking on the road these days
When I was a kid there we were probably only 2 overweight kids out of 100 kids. Today it looks the opposite.There is a new line of Jimmy’s products coming out this year that are large enough so people can be buried with a favorite piece of their past. Like a motorcycle, or mower.
Very good and informative information. Thank you. Hopefully creamation won’t become wildly popular. I’ve always wondered about Batesville.We only have 90 OTR drivers nationwide combined.

OTR pay- each Part taken individually, not so much. But Combined pay of hourly (we get paid every minute of On Duty- fueling, hooking, unloading, delay, etc$16.90), milage .504, and a $40 per night per diem brings it to 58-59 cents per mile, which is your starting pay. We Do have excellent Day One health insurance. And in our Batesville (union) fleet (I'm in Indianapolis non-union fleet) the milage is .544 but less per diem, so it averages to about the same 58.5. Los Angeles is more. We get vacation the first year, and 10 holidays but only one paid personal day. Only day guaranteed off is Christmas. And a good 401k.
Several times I've started applying at OD so I could be home more. Even a few months ago. Every time I remember all the times Yellow laid me off, and knew if the economy hiccups LTL downsizes. Plus there's 22 yrs of Teamsters in my history from 87-2009 so they probably wouldn't take me anyway.
Where here I have a daylight run and a steady $90k a year. Ran steady indy to Denver to Salt Lake and back weekly for 6 straight yrs. Now indy to El Paso weekly. Assigned equipment, weekly the same (6 month at a time) bids- no contact with management unless theres a problem. Just get your paperwork from your mailbox, hook up and go. No cameras.
Death takes no holidays or weather days. After all the closings and layoffs in my life, I took a job where people are dying for me to work!
Best of luck to all let go. We're hiring and so is Quikway in Shelbyville Ind. (White paper Teamsters). There's still hope of driving jobs.
In 15 years it'll all be cremation. But in the meantime, it's the best job I've had.Very good and informative information. Thank you. Hopefully creamation won’t become wildly popular. I’ve always wondered about Batesville.
