I will try to be brief but here goes;

Workweek is Monday thru Friday with occasional weekend work (I have done Saturday work twice this year).
All work is during the day with the exception of 1 night driver (by bid).
$23.46 per hour. Overtime after 8 and Doulble Time after 12.
Overtime for all hours worked on Saturday and Doulble time for Sunday.
45 min of breaks per day.
Paid from the time you clock in until you clock out. All drivers start between 5 and 6 am.
6 paid sick days at 8 hours per day. Can accumulate up to 12 days before you get paid out.
Vacation paid at 1-5/2 of your previous years gross pay. 1 yr-1wk, 2 yrs-2wks, 5 yrs-3wks, 10 yrs-4wks, 15 yrs-5wks and 20 yrs and above-6wks.
12 paid holidays per year at 8 hours per day. If you work on a scheduled holiday, you are paid Double Time and one half for all hours worked.
40 hour work guarantee.
Jury service paid at 8 hours per day. No limit on amount of days but they like to try to keep it a 20 days or less of jury service
5 funeral days paid at 8 hours per day. This is for each funeral for a family member from either side of your family. I try not to think about that too much.
Retirement totally paid for by the company. Currently, it is $4.36 per hour for every hour you work.
We pay $68.00 a month for medical. This covers both you and your family. It covers medical, dental, optical and prescriptions. Doctor visits have a co-pay of $5.00.
The wife says dinner is ready but I will end this by saying that our dues are $63.00 per month and drivers make between 70K and 80K per year.

Sorry for the spelling and let me know if you have any questions I can answer or clarify for you. I know there is more but dinner awaits.

Drive safe
