ABF or FedEx Freight

ABF Freight's insurance is far from "100% company paid". They pay for it in lower wages as well as union dues, everything I've read points to city drivers topping out at less than $27/hr and less than .65cpm for road drivers. No thanks.

I don't consider $33/wk for a family plan (thats health, dental and vision) with a $4500 deductible to be "very expensive", so right off the bat, ABF union dues paid alone (post tax dollars) amount to almost half of what I pay for insurance.

 

Their top scale is .63 cpm right now, also on the benefits, how much does the full boat cost a week, last but not least, how long does a ABF employee have to spend on the on call board for linehaul on average? Not picking on ABF, just curious.

 

POST YO' CHECKS

 

The check is over 3 years old haven't worked there this was about 400 less than my normal week I was on my way out the door and didnt want to pick up any ot

 

That's funny, my buddy works for od and says I make more than him. He is at 70 something a mile, I am at 63 a mile. Bennies pension home time......

 

If you don’t have the miles, it doesn’t matter if you’re making a buck a mile.

 

Not gonna argue, You are right....no miles here. Thank you for helping me out with what I get paid

 

My statement was toward your OD friend that has a higher rate but makes less than you. So you’d be arguing for no reason anyway.
