Our rate is the same in RFL as I believe it is company wide. They don't let you work the dock after your route or you just choose not to? Because full timers have option over anyone part time. I see 3 or 4 city guys working the dock nightly. I wouldn't want to do that either though, they're a little to money obsessed.
How is the city overall in Phoenix? Guys here are miserable. I have given the thought to transfer there but would hate to start from scratch again.

i don't actually work out of Phoenix (i was thinking of transferring there though), so i can't say. The confusion may have been that i have a friend in Phoenix that is seeking a local gig.
My hunch is that it is decent based on the few times i have been to Phoenix----not too many tight areas, not too much traffic congestion etc. ? -
P.S.
Maybe hang around 5pm-ish and after in the parking lot and ask a few drivers how it is...........? -
P.P.S.
Look at the cars in the employee parking lot: This should indicate quite a bit about how good the job is: Cadillac, Lincoln, BWM, Mercedeses = pretty good. New cars in general, even if "only" honda, chevy etc. = still pretty good.coastietruckin' Thanks this. -
Oh okay, good info anyways. I live in Ohio now, I'm going out to Phoenix in March partially for vacation and partially to look around at potential real estate and a job. Maybe I will call and see if I can talk to the TM or Assistant TM.
