    Wish I still had access to my pay stubs. Would of liked to of showed a comparison. Here is what my new dedicated gig pays and its about double my weekly average when I was hauling for the pumpkin.

    Only change for me is I get paid biweekly now. I’m at 7k but will be 9k this Friday when my check drops. The thing I’m loving is that that’s only at 4 days a week. Now when it picks up to the 40s and 50s and I wouldnt mind being outside, any extra days picked up is atleast 300$. So if I want to go at it I can hit an extra 1200 a check. And still enjoy 6 days off in a row every weeks. And I almost forgot we get a quarterly safety bonus too dropping soon at 6% of your quarterly gross. So I mean I got 0 complaints

    Life goods this way just reached the 1st of the month after 3 months so all of my benefits/healthcare 401k are active. I’m still young but I’m thinking I’m going to retire in this outfit. It’s also finally starting to warm a bit so I’ll be picking up tons of overtime.

    Welp coronavirus has starting to get the attention of our company.. we had a driver meeting scheduled this week that was canceled due to caution. Despite us all still having to go to work... but ehh who am I. I personally am not panicking over this virus but man people have been acting so weird lately

    The country has definitely gone crazy now. Us older folks remember all the other stuff and it was never this bad. Hell, swine flu killed over 12,000 people in the US a little over 10 years ago...over 60 MILLION people infected....I don't remember any "freak out" back then or any of this panic and cancellations of everything. Just the regular run of the mill flu has killed 4,800 people this year alone...no freak out over that. How many folks have died from the coronavirus in the US? 41. Most of those were elderly folks in a Washington state nursing home. I just don't get it. Everyone needs to just calm down and keep washing their hands.

    It seems like it’s something every other year from the swine flu to Ebola to the Zika fever, to malaria... it’s always something but speaking of washing hands people done bought up all of the tissue but there’s still tons of soap everywhere
