Next time they call, ask for $10,000 /month. If they really want you they will at least counter offer with say $8,000 - $9,000.

More on topic, this year I've done mostly Yard Jockey but also moved trailers to offsite warehouses with a Day Cab 15 minutes away. I've also done some OT work to our main customer about 30 minutes away.
One guy at our company just goes to Mitsubishi and back to our warehouse and chills on the dock on hourly pay. Probably a gig for people with seniority. -
Redtwin Thanks this.

The shuttle drivers I knew at my last job seemed to like it a lot. It was definitely easy. All they had to do most of the time is take 1 trailer from Indy to Kankakee, IL then drive back. They had the rest of the day off. Lol
It was salary. I think he got like 1450 a week, something like that. Not bad for driving like 6 hours a day Mon-Fri.
That was one of FFE's deals. Typically a driver has to start on a team truck collecting blood from the donation centers.
I never went shuttle because there was never an opportunity to earn more than 1450.00. You were locked in at that pay regardless and the job was just too easy. But a lot of guys liked it and some have been doing it for years.Speed_Drums and Pamela1990 Thank this. -
900 a week is a slap in the face. -
Redtwin Thanks this.

I just learned something new... I thought yard jockeys did this. I've seen buggies do these runs from food and coffee plants .5-3 miles.
From my experience: if it's non-seniority based OT will be easy -
Shuttle driver doesn’t have 1 definition different companies could mean different things. I used to work for an LTL company a shuttle driver would run short miles to a terminal then work on the dock for awhile then back to home terminal where a line haul driver would just drop and hook with no dock work involved.. I have no idea about Pyle but like Ashley furniture a shuttle driver would leave the plant and meet a road driver or might drop at a drop yard for a road driver to get later.
