The Old Man's career dries up, Snackbar transfers to Crete from Shaffer

You are going to Tito’s. I always put a load strap in the back of the trailer before I bumped the dock. They will secure the load for you. As soon as you bump the dock they are loading your trailer. Really friendly people. If you get to your drop early call them and see if they can take you. Most of the the time they will take a load a day early.

 

My rolling 12-month is just over $99k and that includes last June when I took a couple weeks unpaid to move and doesn't include the raise, so I'm pretty sure that I'll be over $100k this year. And that's at the regional pay rate, which is 7 cpm (soon to be 9 cpm) less than national. But no, not going east, not worth it for me.

 

Is that confirmed?? So everyone is gonna be over 70 cents per mile??

 

Kutter made it clear this morning that is what they are intending on doing…he clearly stated drivers should not make less than that… and when we asked twice is there a Pay raise coming? He said it’s coming September… And he hasn’t lied to me yet as long as I’ve been dealing with him directly. he didn’t give us specific amount which I assume that they’re working on that because they’re gonna raise Freight rates again because the market is pushing upwards..

 

Yes okay... hopefully at least a 4 cent bump that'd put me at 70 cents

 

#### should have made the leap there sooner. Oh well. Live and learn.

 

That's the only issue I have with company specced trucks. They'll put money into anything except the seats
