Too funny, I was just reading an ad on CL about a mail route from Dunn to Jax, Fl. It's with Beam Brothers. Thanks!

I know this thread is a bit old, but since it generally deals with mail contractors, I thought i would post this tidbit of info here.

In addition to the hourly pay, you are paid $4.44 (don't quote for all) per hour up to 40 hrs for "Health and Welfare Benefits". Basically it will pay your health, dental, life, eye, disability if you are single, with a bit left over that you get to keep. Most places it won't totally pay family coverage.
A recent trend has some mail contractors forcing you to put that money in a 401k. Personally I think that's bull. I guess it saves them payroll tax or something. Sometime back there was a post on here about one of the mail contractors, and a company rep had posted ALL mail contractors are doing the forced 401k. That is not true.
My advice is don't work for a company that does this. My company does not do this, and the day they do will be the date of my two week notice. I don't need a company to dictate my retirement plan, I do fine on my own.
Hope that helps some of you looking at mail hauling.
