How casual?

One of the few good things about YRC is that you can usually find the union contracts online to see the pay scale.

 

@noobie flatbedder hope you get hired as a permanent driver. Keep us updated.

Good luck.

 

Well since Texas tagged me into this, I will give you my opinion on it, number 1 I wouldn't give a bucket of piss for YRCs future or their subsidiaries (Reddaway, Holland and New Penn), things are getting bad there, and we are even getting news updates on their situation here at Saia, if you are a young man and landed a opportunity at UPS take it and run with it, what do you have to lose, out of all the union companies, they are still the most solid in my opinion, with ABF being number 2, now from my point of view being 46 years old now, I am not going to go play some union casual to full time hire game, don't have the time or patience for it, I just hit two years of service at Saia and I have a bid run that #### near grosses $2000 a week now, I was never a casual because Saia doesn't do that, but was extra board for about 1 year 10 months, I am a perfect example of you can start over again at mid life, but luck and unfortunate circumstances for two other drivers ahead of me in seniority played into that (they got fired), I guess what I am trying to say is if I could do it all over again knowing what I know now, yeah I would go union company like UPS or ABF, but in older years or mid life, or you just hate unions, plenty of non union players to go work for, who do pay big money and have bennies that are not that bad either.

 

Oh Saias pay rate, yeah on linehaul you will probably start out around..59cpm and top scale is currently. 6850, our July raise to the anticipated .70 something a mile was deferred because of covid crisis, you go to top scale 2 years from date of hire at Saia.

 

Ok cool, three members come to mind here as far as UPS, try to talk to De Trucker, Dabrien or LTL Anonymous, all UPS guys, they got good info, LTL Anonymous is also a former ABFer of 5 years, he has great info on them.
