    What a Super Bowl! Broncos looked stupid out there!!! I really wanted Seattle to lose since they beat my Saints twice! Oh well, maybe next year.

    AcH, I wish I was working as much as you! Have to say I'm glad I'm working cause this time last year I was laid off. I'm still doing all right with the paychecks though. Glad things are working out for you at UPSF.

    not at all, our guys right over 26 a hour now and in 5 years will be at 28+ a hour. Overtime after 8 and after 40. To be honest Ive done it before and only miss the hours and having friday nights off. But at the same time I dont get along with needy customers to well so its best while I stay in LTL that i stay on line-haul. I gues after years of restuarant and tow truck work thatll do that to you. Plus when I used to do FDX Ground as a packae driver, DEFF dont miss this days, except for looking at all the hot girls at the stores and getting numbers LOL (hope my other half dont read this...)

    I could care less who won as long as I won my box pool, and I got screwed out of thousands that I couldve won. I needed that field goal and of COURSE they go for the 2 pointer...

    well over 8 inches of snow today and another 8 tomorrow into wednesday... AKA means Im not going to work. I dont like messing around in that white fluffy stuff.

    Ok so time to update.

    Monday - closed

    Tuesday, worked the dock, all runs closed due to ice storm and state of emergencies.

    Today went in, worked the outbound at 7pm (normal) and everything closed except our longest run Harrisburg. At 1030 they asked me if I wanted to go. If the roads weren't so icy I would've went but I declined it. It takes 10 hours to do normally when everything's good. If I had my full 14 I would've still went actually. So they allowed me to do a quick drop/hook to a customer we can do anytime of day. Few guys looked at me like I was insane but I knew it would be too hard to do the trip with not enough hours and black ice. There will be other days for HRS runs

    At UPS no, they make overtime and top out at $25+.

    Some non-union carriers that I'm not going to mention have found ways to get away with not paying overtime and will keep you at $20-$22 straight time. You can expect to get anywhere between 50 to 70 hours with those.

    Top at the end of our contract will. E over 28 per hour. But now it's 4 years to hit top rate. I was hired before jam 1st so I'm grandfathered into the 3 year still. Lucky for me.

    no overtime? I'll say the companies, old dominion doesn't pay till after 60 and Estes until over 55 because of the railroad agreement. But if you speak to there drivers they aren't treated extremely well. I have a co-worker who w as at Old D for 13 years.

    28 per hour, so it's 42 after 8? LOL

    This is to me, an extremely easy job, but considering the profits we make for our companies we should be banking like this.

    What time? I wasn't there as its been a hell of a week for me with a broken down truck in roanoke for 8.5 hrs then get going again only to have them close the roads so another 10.5 hrs in hotel. Good thing is we were on the clock for a tad over 19.5 hrs on our first run of the week.
