SLT - Secured Land Transport

Archangelic... you ARE correct here that your indicated "gross" is lower. However, as per my prior post above, you WILL have ultimately paid MORE in FICA/MC taxes (over $1,000) for getting that higher "gross" number on your W-2. Is a higher reported gross wages number REALLY worth that cost?

If you speak with a "competent" loan officer and explain that, in addition to your gross pay, you are also paid a TAX-FREE amount of $50/day or whatever but don't spend nearly that much, then that officer would add such unspent difference back to your total discretionary income for each year, right?

 

I understand what you are saying, more cheese on paper vs in the bank.

Can't have it both ways unfortunately, I just dislike how most companies factor it into your pay automatically; since if you follow the DOT per diem rules, you are always either not getting your full share or getting too much.

 

Once you become disabled you will see how you were screwed by being paid per deim. SSI only pays what SS you pay in.

 

Your defense of this company is beyond believable.
Your trying way too hard.

 

You need to go with a company that pays better and home every weekend 2 full days. R&L carriers. Wife and I love it here. We each gross 1800 a week. Off 2 full days. No shippers or consignees. All drop and hook. I have a thread on here called husband and wife driving for R and L carriers.

 

I cant beleieve they keep you out 5 weeks for crap pay. Wife and I are home every weekend 2 full days off. 1800 week each gross. 1900 after next year. R + L carriers. I have a thread called husband wife at R+L carriers.

 

I have been thinking about going to work for them I must say that most drivers that have better experiences or not so motivated to write such negative things and less it is true Or they are crazy I just don’t know what to think But I am leaving for orientation today and I may back out

I had 100 companies trying to recruit me. It was overwhelming Became very difficult to keep track of who is who and everyone claimed they were the best company I saw some very little pay as well as very hyper. I saw some very little pay as well as very high pay

 

You can make more teaming for LTL and have 2 full days off every week. Just my experience.
