ESTES Express (5 Year Review)

Yeah it went up. Im at 6 months+ now at 72.25. Schedules start at 68. Extraboard at 71.25 and i think top out is like 77 for extra and 74 for schedules

 

Anyone know much about the birmingham terminal. Ive been before but wasnt sure how their freight was for extraboard. I know ive had a sweet sweet dallas load out of there for 650 miles but thats all i remember.

 

I could jump to another contractor but I have no desire working for ground no more despite how good the home time is. I’ve been looking at Estes for a while I just wanted to wait until June or July as I was waiting on getting my house set up and stuff. Luckily I’m done and ready to make a move. I have not been let go. And I have savings luckily so the switch is happening.
How is the Richmond terminal.

 

i was at Richmond last week. It’s the first terminal, it’s a crap hole honestly but if you’re extraboard then no worries, you’ll see it once a week and gone. I go to Raleigh a lot from there.

 

So extra board drivers start at 71.25 or do we start at .68

 

71.25 then a penny raise per 6 months and that tops out at 3 years, but also a cost of living raise every year. Last year was 2.75 cpm

 

Can you park your car in terminal or is that not recommended

 

Not entirely sure where people park cars there. I don’t like to stick around long. I think they have their own parking lot

 

Talked to recruiter today and she mentioned I would start at .68. Does that mean I’m on scheduled run? Explain how that works

 

It starts off at 68 cpm while training then goes to 71.25 after
