    Oh lol. I'm at an end of line terminal so the runs are limited. Pay isn't great starting out but I stay for extra work like switching trailers for a while after my run. I have to work the dock but it's unloading my first trailer then loading the rest of my freight to go home. Only thing is I have to go through NYC every night on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. Management is a lot stricter than YRC but I tend to stay out of trouble and fairly cook with my supervisors

    Thanks ACH. I just like to keep abreast with the rest of the industry in case this company decides to close it's doors.

    Man, I don't mean to continually sound like such a dork, but, I still love it here. Still bringing home close to $1200.00 a week. Dispatch & the rest here are super good people & Indy still has some of the best runs. Also, I already have 35 guys behind me (made out like a bandit with the last coo). I feel very lucky & fortunate, however, sometimes I feel like I won a luxury cabin on the Titanic. I sure hope they can work things out.

    They were a really great place to work pre 2007. I'd go as far to say they were the best place to work for where I live.

    Squonk if I had your runs and your job I would most likely still be there. The most I made was 985 after taxes and that was a 6 day week(worked an extra). 123 doesn't have the good runs like you guys. Our longest layover is 386 miles. 211, 218 and 205 we rarely went to as in the agreement it was their work. But we had the Harrisburg turns which was nice. 123 doesn't have great long turns either. A lot of runs were cut because of 135 things. 123 you can make money and a living but not like indy.

    When it's busy I bring home about 1100-1200 a week at Reddaway and I'm not even at top pay. I claim single 0 on my income tax and live in California. I'm maxed out when I make that much though and beat up too.

    ACH, You're in a different league than us now. You moved up to the big leagues! A few years from now you'll be laughing at YRC like everyone else does! You'll be laughing all the way to the bank!

    Yup, same as you cool35. I broke 1300 a couple times, but normally, 1100 - 1200. It amazes me how easy this job is, yet, how tired I am when I'm done.
    I had a rare '4 payreqs in 1 tour' today. (Akron->Cleveland->Detroit->Fort Wayne->Home) lol
