    they recently gave the Pay Cut back. I'd like to see the 401k Match come back :biggrin_2557:

    They also used to give nice X-mas bonuses too. And I don't mean for working over the holidays this was a regular bonus that everyone got..

    Appreciate the insights. I'm learning a lot about the industry and the companies in it.

    I saw through Volvos website that WS bought new Volvos trucks in 09'-10'. That may be the Volvos someone was referring too with the fancy stuff.

    Me too...But I'd still wait for economy to turn around...When I checked on the options to invest in, I didn't like any of them in today's market...I'll keep checking but for now, I'll keep buying gold!

    It's a 9 Direct. No LL gear. 9 Direct will have two reverse gears as well. My bet is if you crawl under that truck, you will find a splitter box already on the back of the tranny. That would actually make it a 9-C (Convertible) and would be very easy to make into a 13.

    BTW: It is a nice truck. Except that it's a Kenworth.

    i agree about the options though, i signed up and got something in the mail about they need more paper work, and since 401K's are a waste of time if they are not Matched im going to just put my money in a Roth IRA which is the best option for that type of Retirement saveings anyway
