<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maninthemoon1, post: 4708906, member: 28014&quot;]SB , you worry about who&#039;s not happy and who&#039;s leaving , I look at benefits and 401k , hub miles and the positives they have then ask myself if it&#039;s a good fit for me. I don&#039;t have a position on who is happy and who isn&#039;t because what works for some doesn&#039;t work for others. Listen when Jevic began the downward spiral toward bankruptcy , 1st the benefits went from great to good to mediocre to sad to downright awful , and this was over a 3 yrs period. The 401k went from a 100% match to 50% , to 25% to nothing , and within 6 months they went under. Poly pays by the hub , has pretty good ins. and a 100% match 401k , they&#039;ll still run you home for a dr appt even when the out of route exceeds 10% on miles , no questions asked as long as a Sup okays it. They get ya home when you need to be , you get to plan for your own&nbsp; needs best I&#039;ve seen in 19 yrs over the road. Someone says they&#039;re leaving I don&#039;t ask why , it&#039;s none of my business. And every company out there can paint artist like , to convince everyone their grass is greener than everyone else&#039;s . Poly is never gonna be perfect , never was nor is any other company.</p><p>At Jevic I was home 45 of 52 weekends why ?&nbsp; Because although I made 63k a year they made me a raving maniac by week&#039;s end and I had to go home just in order to not quit. Every dam day of my 8 yrs with them I hated being out there , but the 63k I didn&#039;t want to walk away from.</p><p>Now I make like 53 , but have no problem being out 20 to 30 days at a time , why because they leave us alone 98% of the time , and all they expect you do , is be on time. After&nbsp; between 23 and 30 days , I go home and enjoy the hell out of life for a week to 10 days without them bothering me to come back after 4 days. And here&#039;s the key most of the time &quot;NOT ALL&quot; I make as much in 25 days as the majority of this industry makes in 33 to 35 .</p><p>Whenever you can work 3 to 4 weeks , and take off 7 to 10 days and do it pretty regularly. Plus all the bills are paid , retirement is being maxed out as in the 100% up to 6%. Plus an extra 100 a month in Fed. to ensure a real nice return every year , and a growing savings acct , you don&#039;t worry about who is leaving. I&#039;ve talked to guys that remark about how good they were 10yrs back. But no one is telling me that there were never drivers not happy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
