Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

And governed to 68. WOW lol

 

Not just a raise!!


They are raising our speed! 68 on cruise and 65 on petal!

Edit - then when fuel economy drops 0.1 mpg they will drop it back /s

 

they just had to toss that last statement in there. Not complaining though.

 

Imagine FedEx freight is passing you going 66 and suddenly your dash beeps saying it finished updating and the moment he gets over you just start going around him

 

What did the raise come out to?

 

For national drivers they are raising it another .05 cents. Plus extending surge pay to next year.

Edit - so for shaffer base pay was already .61 and now after October 9th it will be .66 base and .72 max pay.

 

Well I guess we get a kick up in pay and our trucks going to go a bit faster.

 

Now instead of drag racing the few people who are governed at 63/64 we will just drag race the guys going 66/67. Now we can keep up with Werner and CRST trucks.

Will see how long they will keep the speed. I imagine if fuel economy drops big across the board and/or they start seeing an increase in speeding tickets, we might lose the privilege.

 

Feels like dirty money doesn't it? But it'll spend.
