An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

Sounds like a company that doesn't care about their drivers needs. Very similar to the Pilot takeover of Flying J, just do it the Pilot way and they will accept it don't worry.

 

We have unlimited pc miles. Nobody is required to stay at the terminal, I’d bet they would even prefer if you swapped and left. We only have so much space. At the beginning and end of each month we have around 100 trucks per week picking up at our retender operation. It’s a bit chaotic.

they are supposed to be building a brand new Loves right down the street, it was approved in April.

 

I must have missed it. I’ve pc’ed 200 miles home before and nothing was said. There used to be a limit of 50 miles on our peoplenet. Spd or peoplenet turned it off.

 

Just got the pay settlement for last pay period. I was paid my full two week salary for driving 215 miles. 1470 cents per mile, on a base rate of 64 CPM. I try to tell guys to not get hung up on the base rate here! Haha.

 

Have you run the numbers on moving to CPM. I know you like the program you’re on for stability but when I ran the numbers for me, it was way lower then what I make now.

 

Yeah but who would you go with? Given your need for better than average healthcare and pay?

This year and I suspect next are definitely not what we had last year, and if you don’t care about the differences in activity level and can find the right home it may work out for you. I just couldn’t handle all of the sitting around and waiting for someone to come and unload me, those days are over lol.
