Y'all forget, even at 38cpm, you have the activity pay plus layover and the 21 days Paid Time Off first year. No company out there can compare. So after you add the benefits with that pay you are easily around 50cpm. Name me a carrier that gives you 21days paid off (at your average daily rate), matches you 6% on your 401k, matches up to $1500 dollars on your stock purchases, which you get at a discount, 10% off when shopping at Walmart, and guaranteed home time every 5 days for a minimum of two full complete days? Yeah, even with the changes coming, walmart is still better than many. Dont get it twisted people

Just to put a fine point on this for new hires, you don't get 21 days starting out and 6% for 401k is an industry standard. You do get a 10% discount on gm merchandise and some food products. They do match stock purchases up to a point but the IRS(our favorite gov bureaucracy) is wanting to declare this as income so don't be surprised if that gets taxed

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't someone say .38 with no raises? Or are there other raises involved, and the new drivers just weren't getting certain ones?

Instead of raises, you get an end of the year bonus...to be determined by transportation officers...same ones that brought you this cut in pay, cameras, etc....

When you waited for the call after a post offer how long does it take and did anyone call in and find out themselves? The wait is killing me. Especially with all these changes.....uhg

No they didn’t. I got the final job offer on the 29th. From what I have read on these threads, maybe I just made it before the changes. And honestly even with the changes it’s still an amazing job with all the benefits they offer.

your final offer is when they call you after a conditional offer correct? how long did they take to call you after the pre-trip, road test, physical, drug test and conditional offer?
