You should buy a house you can afford now. That way when you get your raises, you will actually see the extra money.

Yeah!
I want my overtime back. Now there mentioning 9.5 during peek. Least they can do is give me my guarantee.By the way if Chicago goes on strike, does all of the Teamsters all over? Or just chicago because they are separate then master?

Then file a grievance if they are not giving you your guarantee.

My sup said 9hrs here and at our hub he said we need 86 drivers to do it hence we are a small center. Im in my second year off progession too and this no OT is BS i blame the crying as old head drivers for that. As far as my 8hr guarantee i 06 it every day and dgaf.

AND THAT’S THE BOTTOM LINE
The OT is there for you to take. Message the center when you finish your route "anybody need help or any misloads that need to be delivered"? I've literally never gotten turned down doing that.

Ps I'm single live cheap and have a nice chunk in my account. Keep the ot, I'd rather live something resembling a normal life and make 150-200$ less a week. Bring on the 40 hr work weeks!!!! There will always be guys trying to keep up with the joneses who want those 55 hour weeks. Go hard.

Now I could be like sone of these other neocentric know it alls day things like “live within your means” and “suck it up” but I won’t. You’re very accurate in what you’re saying. I have over 20 years of seniority so I can come in early for OT but most can’t. Every morning my center looks like the parking lot of the Home Depot with guys looking for work.
Not sure where you are but be thankful you’re not out west in the Bay Area where rents hover above 3K. There’s some real concern setting in with the drivers seeing as out here OT is more of a necessity then a hendrence.
If this becomes the new norm, which none can say with any certainty, there will be one good thing that comes out. The “National Pay Scale” will be thrust to the forefront and many will demand that it be dealt with. Maybe not in my career but on this path it’s only a matter of time.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
Save money to put down til you're 30 or so. Take out a 15 year loan.
