Crete Carrier - A Year In Review - Fall 2013 Going Forward

Looks like Cheyenne terminal...got a little bit of snow

 

Looks like pay raise in May ... .03 cpm increase ... plus .02 surge pay

 

Is that for us fridge haulers too?

Nevermind...saw your post over on my thread...

 

.6 quarterly bonus jump upcoming for next quarter also...rumors floating

 

They need to stop this...if they keep paying me more and more, I will be in the next higher tax bracket and take home less after taxes...

 

Everybody is about to be in the next tax bracket and everybody will be taking home less very soon.

 

Time to add another 5% to the retirement plan.

 

I saw the proposed re-alignment of the tax brackets from the new administration online somewhere...mine actually goes down from 22% to 17 or 19%. I may be mis-remembering which, it's been a few weeks, and I only glanced at it briefly while talking to Mrs. Snackbar, but my tax bracket's percentage actually dropped.

 

Have you been experiencing being left with red line levels of fuel now with diesel prices rising and the puffins trying to save moolah? We should always have half a tank or around that...I got yelled at for requesting fuel solutions when I'm down at those uncomfortable levels and I'm 100% compliant with fuel solutions I set my GPS routing that way shipper to fuel solution(s) to drop...I'm all for the company saving money and respect their overhead expenses but don't leave us drivers with minimum fuel levels..also the cubicle world doesn't factor into opti idle and most importantly resistance on our routes (steep hills, wind resistance, traffic, etc...that consumes more fuel)... have you been experiencing this recently...being left with much lower fuel levels than before?

 

I haven't had that problem. It does seem like there are less of the 50 gal. stops though
