    No that's just the earnings column Bob,I don't want to show the whole stub, I got the idea from you that one time you did it, anyway that 4k is what is called extra pay, it is mostly for drop and hooks, they separate it from the mileage pay, my FTW is at $7300 and FICA $4400 so far, good grief I hope I am paying enough so far lol!

    Copy. Yeah good deal, you should be fine then. I was hoping I was wrong on that. I thought you'd end up owing several grand come tax time. I remember seeing one guy's stub here maybe last year and mentioning the same thing because I could tell his withholding was way too low for what he earned. It might have been @Russian Rabbit , I can't remember.

    Yeah that was RR, I remember the post, some people were wondering if he had two jobs if I remember correctly, the taxes have been a concern of mine, I haven't done this well since three years ago, I was getting these kind of numbers at Oak Harbor Freight Lines, I was top scale there , but that was when you could claim per diem and all that, but ofcourse now it's a different ballgame with the new tax law, while in the long run it has seemed to work out, this relocating and starting all over again was a real #######, the last three years weren't easy, it took working at three different trucking companies to get back to where I was at three years ago, and it wasn't fun lol, this is why I am so hell bent on keeping my job at Saia, yeah I know the other guys make fun of Saia and that's fine, they have been good to me and that's all that matters, my only real worry is a layoff and March is still a ways out.

    Did ok? Haha I like your modesty, you still have a month left to go too, looking like a possible high 90s year for you, that's awesome.

    I have been running pretty good here in the south. The cameras are being mentioned more than 3 months ago. I got a coaching for a handheld. I really appreciate the cameras because overall it made me more conscious of stopping the way for stop signs etc even in my pov. They mean well at team Saia.

    Just make sure it's you in the video, apparently who ever monitors the camera footage is human and can make mistakes, I was just recently brought in for another coaching but it turned out to be a case of mistaken identity, no big deal and didn't sign anything, just make sure to confirm that it is you in the video, if not point it out to your supervisor immediately so you are not coached for something you didn't do.

    I didn't even think about this as a possibility. Does the supervisor not look at the video before bringing you in to view it?

    Really not sure if he did or not, it was busy that day, not trying to make excuses for them, because I even had to do a double take and have the video played over again to make sure, because this kid even though I am 20 years older than him, we both have about the same build, short hair cuts, clean shaven, we both wear ball caps, wear similar sunglasses and our seating posture is oddly similar as well, so honestly I can see how the mistake was made, but if we were standing next to each other you could clearly tell us apart, this isn't the first time either, it happened to a Odessa driver as well, who told me about his experience awhile back, at that time I was like ok, and wasn't really sure to believe him or if he was just messing around, sure enough he wasn't messing around, it can happen lol.
