19% pay raise! Sherwin Williams - Effingham, IL

Not sure on Three Rivers. Bay City is hand unload still. That right turn into the alley is the devil!! It would not be so bad if the 4 wheelers would not try to block and/or get run over. There is nothing that can be done about that location. The manager says there is talk of a new store.

 

I lost my MOJO somewhere and don't run real hard. It has become a "lifestyle" job for me. It ain't all about the gross pay. I only did about $70k last year, but it's an easy $70k.

 

I came to SW with big $$$ in mind. I got really discouraged in the first 6 months. I was hustling to make bank, but they were not making it happen. That is where I lost my MOJO. As time went on, I just got comfortable with things. I found that I was making enough, and they are so easy to deal with. It will probably be my last driving job. Yes, it is all the other things that keep me here.

 

I'm so conditioned to it, I don't think about that stuff much. I just do it. The thing is, I paid some dues with some common carriers, staying out 4 months at a time. This is like a pie walk in comparison. The stress is much less than dealing with unrealistically planned loads.
