Our managers have been telling us for weeks there would probably be a bonus but they weren't sure how much. When they found out they told us.
And that was probably about 10 days ago. Some of you work in really ::::ty centers.
YES. they got the shaft big time. 2 years in a row and counting
I had teamsters ins for years and years . Other then dues the most I ever paid was a $25 co pay for each visit . Dental very rarely paid anything maybe $1-$3 toward a cleaning but rare . Vision $25 co-pay , 1st pair of glasses free , exam free ( minus the co-pay ) 2nd pair of glasses if you wanted them were roughly $125-$180
And you also don't have to work here very long to realize this place NEEDS a union. Purple Hammer must be one of dispatches do it all guy
Way that :I love when someone that's already on overtime gets to cover one more swap and someone that started at 10am gets told that they have nothing else for him at 6pm.
Being friends with the evening dispatcher has it's perks
: works round here is dispatcher’s buddy that starts at 8:30 gets off after 8 hours while 6:00 guy stays out doin 8:30 guy’s pickups
ya know , free stuff...
And then the 8:30 guy complains that road drivers make more than he does.Way that ::
He has a point
Then he should transfer to road and work more than eight hours a day.
Now come on , the 830 guy has important things to do and probably does the job wearing dress clothes and pointy dress shoes and the 600 guy is in work uniform and work boots , i seen many of the 830 guy click and clack on otta there at 4 and get into important lincoln car
Road drivers do make more, I r1 , 12-14 hrs a night in the nw, 40 miles out of my barn hanging iron, running ice and snow covered roads. 1/2 the night . Up here it goes on for about six months, losing trucks is fairly common. 2 last week. 1 guy 2 broken ribs and concussion, the others working the dock waiting on his review
Hourly with time and a half would be 175 grand , sorry buddy
Maybe round yer part of the world... round here that aint always the case. Git a peddle hand with a long run he might do more miles than some of the linehaul guys we got
I can sure appreciate what some linehaul guy's have to go through. on the other hand a lot of us city guy's have 200 plus mile day's running in that same hyw ice and snow. not to mention having to back up one of those dog automatics on some unplowed side road with a half empty 48' trailer in somebodies driveway. then pressed to get everything off by 2. we all have our cross to bear.
