    Why do drivers focus on after-tax numbers? What if the guy has 9 kids? Lol

    Nope, his first three months. He texted them to me as I'm going into driving and I asked. I know two people at Swift, both fairly new, both have similar stories. Sorry if this doesn't fit your "swift"narrative.

    Except net is a smaller number than gross.

    If we're considering bennies like has been brought up, I guess you'd have to say X gross + Y in benefits. Because net has far too many variables. You need a baseline.

    Okay, so I think I’ve got it.

    - Big Maud is gross.
    - Net is gross minus Big Maud
    - Bennies has something to do with Big Maud, but will remain unmentionable.
    - Your bank account might not show it, but time spent with Big Maud will make you feel like a million bucks.

    It goes back to claiming 9 dependents, not having deductions for taxes, medical, 401k, etc.

    On another note:

    Never, ever let your son in law (the K9 handler cop) talk you into putting on the Michilen man suit and running from the dog. Ummm, that 109lb bastige don’t play!

    I’m too old (over 330 years) for that.
     
    Bumper, REO6205, 88 Alpha and 3 others Thank this.
