Estes Extraboard

I'm taking the plunge. Estes gave me the call that everything is good to go and I did my road test Friday and start Monday training for a week. I am excited and really looking forward to the new adventure running extra board.

Reddaway has been a fairly good company but I don't see YRC or Reddaway going in a very positive direction. I hope that at 30 years old I finally found a company I can retire from. They do seem really laid back and the pay is substantially a lot more. I'm losing my free Healthcare which is a downer but my pay is going from .44cpm to .56cpm and from $17.70 per HR to $22 per HR. I also get a fairly new truck instead of my Old Volvo with no A/C and constantly breaking down.

 

Pretty much means cover runs as needed otherwise run Monday night through Friday night bouncing from terminal to terminal.

 

That's exactly what I need, Reddaway has only sent me into California so it's almost like a bid. Kinda getting old just running to Fresno or the Bay area. I like to run and getting to go where ever is appealing.

 

I asked about the bunk houses and apparently they don't use them on the west coast. I asked about the insurance and it looks like it runs about $68 a week for my wife, myself and our daughter. So under $280 per month is not bad considering everyyou night a don't work with Reddaway is around $250 a night and that's at least 1 or 2 nights a week. I think this will work outo well. Plus the TM says there is plenty of work.

I do agree extraboard is where the money is at.
