Should I make a switch with jobs

I drove for YRC Logistics and stayed on Xtra board the whole time. I refused to bid on runs. I was the top paid driver there. The other drivers complained because I was making a lot more money than they were and complained because I refused to bid on runs and just took the leftovers and runs for drivers on vacation or taking days off.
The terminal manager said, "Are you sure you don't want to bid on runs?"
My answer; "I can't afford the pay cut."

 

All my ex-wives agree with you!

 

All?? How many of them ha ha ha

 

what you were doing they were senior drivers. They had great runs. You were taking their runs because nobody else could bid on them. You were the extra . I know that strategy very well Ha ha ha

 

YRC, I remember just a few years ago the last day , hundreds of drivers out of work, but you know what the companies saw that , they picked them up. They knew they were a good drivers.

 

Yeah, they all went to work ASAP. Recruiters were rushing the terminals trying to recruit those guys. I went to a union hazmat tanker company; the only one that did that. Again, making more money than the drivers that were scared of pulling hazmat tankers.

 

If you're happy where you are, stay put. More money don't always equal more happiness.

 

You'll make way more at Estes. I'm already at 70K+ this year and got the check stubs to show it. Depending on which terminal you go to still determine a lot of things. I know one thing to, you'll EASILY cross 70K. This is a company check from the week before last. Basically I ran my regular schedule (2598) miles and a lay down to Texas. I worked 7 straight days on recaps home daily except the Texas run.
