    With all these pay increases I wonder when they will update their ads, to say top 50% make over $100,000/yr. Since the current $92,000/yr was based off of pay that was .27 cents less per mile.

    @newbietrucker91 that bill miller place. Park on the street across from the entrance and wither walk over or call them. I think I called when I got there. They will tell you when to back in or come talk to you cant remember. When i delivered there I had a dock facing the street. I pulled up somewhat into the hotel drive on the right and backed across the street into the dock. They did say they would help block traffic if I wanted but wasnt any when I delivered. Hope that helps.

    Sorta like going from an average street walker to private escort.

    Told my wife she might have to quit her job. If they keep this up, it's gonna bump us up into the next tax bracket and we'll end up netting less. Honestly, I'd give back the $.05 if they would either let us idle or put an APU on my truck AND stop micromanaging so #### much.

    The advert on the Forum's trucking jobs tab has been upped to $96k since May's raise...they'll probably up it again another $5k pretty soon

    Was wondering cause place is in heart of downtown and full of box trucks. Last time I was at this JBS it took them over 30 hours past the preload time to be ready.

    On my end it is set to be ready by 9am and if it is not then I wonder if they will keep me on it or give me something else. My apt is Saturday by 5am, and it's 900 miles, so no room for any delays.

    24 hours into the other one they pulled me off it, but guard still called me when it was finally done. Only thing good about that JBS is they have a dedicated wash place a mile away that we drop our trailers so no need to wait in line somewhere for a wash.

    That was my thought exactly. Put the money into APUs so the drivers could be comfortable. Is that too much to ask?

    After that post from @iraqralph43 about the crap that other driver is going thru with the covid crap...I am getting a feeling in the pit of my tummy about some sort of shot requirement in our near future. As in, the good news, your getting a raise - the bad news, you have to get vaccinated...especially since we do so much Tyson freight over here on the fridge side.
