ESTES Express (5 Year Review)

Someone who can put out the miles on the east coast from Richmond terminal would help. Get an idea how it is

 

I used to get around 2750 no problem going east.

 

Got you. They forwarded my info to terminal manager. So hoping to hear back. single no kids. So does anybody no how much health insurance is?

 

FREE, I'm single, do the HSA plan, bigger deductible but Estes matches your first $1100 contributed to the HSA (better than an IRA). Gotta take the freebies. ALL preventive care is 100% paid for.

 

Nice with free health. How many set drops do you guys do a night. Is there a limit to the $10 they pay for drops?

Can you opt to cash in vacation or you forced to take it.

How long to get to top rate.

Can you work sixth day Sunday and be back home for just Saturday?

 

No limit, each drop and hook pays. But some yards don't want you to drop. Especially bigger ones with lots of freight in transit. To be honest, I would rather drive than do drops or hooks, pays more.

Often they allow you to cash out one week at the end of the year. I never do, in fact, I often take far more vacation, no pay, beyond my given vacation days.

3 years

Once you have a scheduled run, and say it's M - F, sure could if the freight is there. There is a Sunday start to extra board. Then just stay out on Fridays or work them. You'll have to get a feel for how your terminal works best.

 

There are only 3 different plans, one is a FSA, not a good choice in my opinion.
