I just got hired by USF Reddaway

Go to LTL forum and look them up, sure there is plenty on them there.

 

how much less a week will you be bringing home?what's your wife think you should do?can you give your company a leave of absence notice.that way if you dont like the new job you can go back to this job.

 

I spoke with a reddawy driver a few months back.. he said the money's in overtime.. he also mentioned it's a steady paycheck unlike otr.

money or bennies.. ?

 

Why work harder/longer to earn the same or a little more(or less), why is overtime looked upon favorably when so many jobs provide as good or better standard of living? Ask yourself that and consider whether that truly means you will have better home time...better quality of life and if the benefits are really worth it.

I have never understood why employers and employees tout the amount of overtime expected or worked in order to earn a living, or as incentive to work here, or work there. Relying on overtime is like waiting for a ship to come in, you, working at a port, should now exactly what that is like. The ship will get there if is does not sink, but they are not always on time. Overtime, can at any time, cease to exist.

 

That's it? I made that driving a straight truck sucking veggie oil. Jesus these tractor trailer companies are getting cheaper.

 

grass isn't always greener on the other side, known evils versus the unknown.

 

Be more specific here. Are you paying any medical premium out of pocket??
For you and your wife that's upwards of $500 a month some places. Add in kids and that can add up quick.

 

Right. I see a contradiction here. Regardless, I hope it works well for you and your family.
