    I guess any GM DC is better option then grocery, but they sometimes send Woodland drivers to Pottsville to haul grocery loads

    Pottsville PA are quoting driver pay as $110K but no mention of the sign on bonus, think it was $12,000 ?

    You can make in first year 110K BEFORE taxes if you work on schedule like 5/2 and if you drive night shifts and weekends. Yes, they offer 12K bonus but they tax all bonuses crazy 40%. So you never get actually 12k.
    Safety bonus. They calculate it individually depending on how many miles you drove and then they take 40% from your bonus..

    Got an eye opener when we pulled into Saipan. Because it is sorta part of the US, they can put "Made in America" on the garments they make there.
    All the workers at those garment places, young Chinese women.
    Saipanese lady who owned a bodega I stopped at told me there were more Chinese on the island than Saipanese.
    This was quite a few years ago and I've heard that's changed now.
    But it was the operation for a number of years.

    Chinese don't need a visa to go to Saipan. Some go there to get married or to have a baby so the baby will have American citizenship. Women in China have to be 20 to marry, so sometimes if a man wants to marry someone younger, they fly to Saipan where the age is 16 for a woman to marry.
