    16 hour rule once a week if necessary.
    I'm at 80% rate, but I still clear $800 - $950 per week after taxes claiming zero deductions.

    10 speed. New guys get put in yard truck first which is automatic. 5 12 hour shifts @ 80% of $20 per hour to start with overtime after 40 hours.

    not for sure how far harrisburg is from that area, but Saia just opened 3 PA terminals and a 1 NJ terminal with city drivers starting at about $24/hr topping out at $26/ hr with ot over 45 and paid holidays. They are expanding into the NE market with Baltimore opening later this year and than looking at New England next year and more announcing later.

    Good. If Saia opens a terminal here maybe some of our malcontents will jump ship.

    Saia better watch out in PA with that OT after 45 hours nonsense. I personally know of a class action lawsuit involving a trucking company that paid OT after 45, and was sued by their drivers as PA determines OT to start after 40 hours. Company lost, then lost again on appeal.
     
    Bob Dobalina Thanks this.

    I believe this came from a thing to where the company was HQ'd or ran out of PA. Our corporate office, which all of our stuff is ran out of, for workman comp and all, is out of Atlanta, GA.
