Looking for info on Eagle Express Lines.

Sounds like I'm getting into: running USPS mail. Just a different contractor.

$22.70/hour. # of hours depends on the run.

Insurance looks different and I have not heard about 401k.

Just watching the thread.

 

Hey Just Wondering how that job panned out for you, or if you took it or not

 

It was the perfect job for me. I would've stayed forever.

But, because I had lived outside of the US for longer than 6 months in the last 5 years, DHS could not perform an adequate background check on me.

So, one month into this job I was let go. The contractor was as befuddled as me over the incident.

 

I moved from Denver to take a Sleeper position with Eagle based out of Kansas City, started 2/2017 the pay looked great, everything on the job posting looked great and all was well until I got a new Fleet Manager, and hours started going down, the work became more random, and as I complained his supervisor basically said some weeks you'll only get 44 hrs if that's all we got (mind you my position said 60-68 hrs per week) so at my wits end I just took a dedicated mail run for 44 hrs a week, it pays 1.5k less a month and I'm so disheartened at this point I'm just waiting to find another job. I checked the job board and they have totally reworded the position I had. It's just a shame these people can just lie to employees. This was my experience. I really wanted this to be the last Company I worked for. I really wanted to retire from here. Now I'll have to keep looking. The job was too good to be true and they lie like everyone else.

 

They have been running ads here for the last few months.

A bit of their ad.
-60 - 68 hours / week!
10 Paid Holidays!
*You will be paid for the holiday whether you are scheduled to work or not.
Hourly postal rate is $22.70 plus $5.32/hour USPS Health & Welfare pay (paid up to 40 hours/week).

 

The job I had in Kansas City it turned out to be bull crap once I got a new fleet manager bout a month ago. They lie just like everyone else.

 

@8thnote I would love a schedule like that. They'll probably call ya for extra work if you want it.

 

After almost 10 years with the company I can tell you without a doubt they are cutting back the hours on several runs. They have cut my paycheck twice. You are right to expect the # of hours they advertise during the hiring process but unfortunately for those of us that drive the trucks, the bean counters make changes without even giving us a heads up or a reason for it. My last cut took 200 out of my paycheck and I wasn't notified ahead of time. Just looked at my check and went wtf. Made several phone calls and asked the right questions and all I got was "the company is changing the run".
Whichever region you are hired in there will be other runs to latch onto as new runs come up quite often. Also with the addition of Hoovestol, Beam and Ursa there will be many more to choose from. GL

Ursa? Hadn't heard about that one yet.
