Are they paying you any type of benefits JJKid? How about your pay is it 10-99 or W-2? Just curious

Thanks

 

I don't mean to be a wet blanket, or squelch your enthusiasm, but there's a big difference in "offering" health ins. and " health ins. included". Also 1099 is a huge pain, and there never seems to be enough money for 1/4ly taxes, and with penalties and interest, it turns into a huge scam, and the company is off the hook, which is why many companies are going that route, I think, at least for me, it was a pain.
Crosstown isn't a bad gig,( as long as there's no portables) however, the problem comes in when you actually pull that junk down the road, and try and cross a scale. When I pulled containers, I never would go over a scale, as many of these chassis don't have sliders on their tandems, and 80% were overweight, as the chassis and the container with a sleeper truck, could easily be 36K or more empty, and then they put 44 or 45K in the box. If I was going to stay with it,(did it for almost 5 years) I'd have gotten my own aluminum spread axle chassis, and the heck with their heavy, tube tire, no brakes, no slider tandem junk.

 

Hey JJ, that helps. Another thing I used to hate, was get a box lifted and have to take the chassis back to a container yard, then bounce over to another container yard, pick up another chassis and go to a rail yard and pick up a box. You could spend 3 hours doing that, for free.

Jesus Christ who did you work for? You should've got paid something for that. Break down, crosstown move, detention, ie something for those 3 hours.

 

Ha, yeah, one of the negatives of having your own truck. That didn't happen a lot, but when it did, it sucked. I made a lot of mistakes when I had my own truck, glad that's over.

 

JJKid are they ever looking for Part time rail help??...I live right nexzt to south holland and have been to quite a few yards..not as many as u though...
