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

Anybody want a good laugh? Look at the ######## false advertisement they're putting out




This year I will have been away from home for 340 days, run my nutz into the dirt (around 132,000 miles) and will only gross $90k. I think someone in the recruiting office or the media marketing person needs to be drug tested...they must be stopping by our neighbor's weed dispensary on a daily basis.

 

After virtually depleting my cushion throughout the year because of the pay cut (and some deductibles for insurance claims in the beginning of the year), along with a new $500/month prescription the new company's insurance provider isn't allowing to be covered under the company prescription plan(and my wife is threatening to just say F it and do without it), we are now on a paycheck to paycheck program. I can't hold up paying a bill because it was due before I got paid. I won't make as much this year as I had thought, and I will have a whopping 6500 total miles this month. So honestly, this new per mile pay package they forced me on has dropped me close to what I was making at Moore 5 yrs ago.

As far as false advertising, it might not be true false advertising , but it is marginally deceptive if only one or two out of 200+ drivers are making that much, and the rest are making $80-85k. It's the same as a car dealer saying the MSRP is $50k for a car, but once you see the purchase price, they're asking $75k. Or a Motel saying $49 and up, but when you make a reservation it's $89. And I have been here 2+ years and haven't seen a single dollar of any 'retention bonus'

 

Got a surprise today. When I got unloaded, I didn't put my chains and straps back on my truck because I have been under this same conestoga for 2 months, I have been keeping my gear in the trailer. Now I am dropping the trailer, I decided to take my time swapping it back on my truck...well, the shop decided that 6000 miles was close enough to do a service.(Normally you have to be over before this shop will even think about getting you in). Plus, they decided that my satellite will be removed while it's in there. So, I had to rush putting my gear away so they can put it in the shop early. At least I won't need a service again until spring... unless I am gone by then.

 

Never been there, wouldn't set foot on the property to piss on it if it caught fire.
