    I'd stay as long as I can .. Even with your "pay cut" you're still making $40 per hour

    Where the heck else could you find that type of pay for Mon-Fri 40 hours ?

    A small company with a decent boss is really hard to find. Especially with decent
    pay. I would stick for awhile...….save a little back for a rainy day...….keep your options
    open. Keep your driving record clean...…

    I have jumped ship for better money several times over the years......never really
    works out. To me a decent company with a decent boss is more important than earning
    top pay.

    Check this company in Atlanta; trains drivers for their type of hauling. Something to consider if your current company goes under.

    That’s a pretty big jump to assume the guys going under soon.
    Sounds to me more like this guy values his employees. Unless i misunderstood he wasn’t letting any one go, just cutting pay during the hard times. Back during the 08-09 recessions lost of companies did this, the bad ones let folks go.
    If frieght was good right now I would be concerned.

    I prefer to consider the problem of the sad whiner discontended with just 116000 dollars per year. IF thats not enough in holalanta then nothing will be enough.

    The one right thing I did in my life is get the hell out of Maryland. Half million dollar homes everywhere requiring 50.00 a hour jobs that no one has in those days.

    Here in the south you could argue I had a half million dollar home and lands for a while. But because this is the south the prices are VERY VERY low. My pa cries when he is experiencing 400 dollar electricity. We are burning the same kilowatt here for 40 a month.
