They delete my post because I said to ignore him and it wasn’t even insulting.
they wear a cape for him, probably have the same boomer mentality or something.
whatever, it is what it is. I just like how they call the young people snowflakes when they are the ones getting hurt on a forum.

99.9% of my driving has been in my own truck, but I can honestly say that the turkey I have always worked for never offered me a paid vacation, even after 40 years. I fooled him though and take all the time I want off. lol
-
I work for the federal government and we get 440 hours of Annual Leave...which equals to 11 weeks of vacation or personal days. We also get accrued sick leave that rolls over year after year. So someone who worked for 30 years can get over 2000 hours of sick leave...which equals around a year or so...which you get paid when you retire.
Personally, I'm a workaholic and I enjoy my job. I wouldn't know what to do with all that time off...lol.striker, kemosabi49, All-American82 and 1 other person Thank this. -
That's MY point. Thank you! Plus, like I stated, I was wondering if this was the latest scam to get new drivers. recruiters are ALWAYS coming up with some scam to obtain new drivers. And the amount of "vacation" just seemed out of line for what I know about the industry for a NEW driver to most companies!
I take my time off, I EARNED it!
Thank you for getting it!!!
FlaSwampRat Thanks this. -
Ya, my Ex wife works for the state of Texas and Holy cow. she could accrue the "paid time off". After her first couple of years, she was taking off months at a time.( by saving it and using it to benefit her wants/needs)Sho Nuff and FlaSwampRat Thank this.

You didnt have no power steering either. These dang whipper snappers dont know what it is to be a real trucker lol.All-American82, buddyd157 and FlaSwampRat Thank this.

Thats absurd. Never, EVER, feel bad for a govt worker. Especially if theyre furloughed because of an impasse on the federal budget lol. I couldnt believe the virtue signaling going on when soup kitchens were offering govt workers free meals during the 2017 shut down.All-American82, Sho Nuff and FlaSwampRat Thank this.

You think that's absurd. These guys spent 60 + years of federal service. One of them has over 5000 hours of accumulated sick leave. I've NEVER heard of any government employee get that much.
Now THAT'S absurd

Chicago mail handler marks 65 years of federal serviceAll-American82, BigDog Trucker and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -
the company I am at offers 5 weeks after 5 years. The norm is 1-2 weeks from what I've seen. The best I've seen is UPS they get 10 weeks off I believe (dont quote me on that). I've also seen more than a few good companies offer 4-5 weeks.
I can't speak for OTR or regional work.All-American82 Thanks this.
