nowhere special
Is that a fixed 2.5 percent? Mortgage rates are about to shoot up.Lol, I don’t know where you work. I don’t have a choice about the hours. Second, I’m a 16 yr employee with 300k put away for retirement and just refinanced my house at 2.5 percent that knocked 5 yrs and a percentage point of my rate. There’s a difference between refinancing and a home equity loan. I’m fine financially, I don’t do stupid. and I still don’t have any extra money. I doubt anyone really does who likes to eat a steak every now and then. Thisin office is going to break this country, and he’s doing it on purpose.

Oh yes, I wouldn’t do anything else. I think they’re around 6% now.

I’m not saying my situation is anything special, just trying to stress that these liberal administrations are killing the middle class with their idiotic policies. It has to be on purpose, they simply can’t be this stupid.
Supposedly the company wants to lower the paid day.
After this next race you can be making close to 90 grand with zero overtime

I’m not a pkg car driver, that language doesn’t pertain to me. That’s fine, times like these I am thankful for the time. I’m just saying this administrations inability to govern for the good of the American people is really starting to affect the middle class in this country.

What do you mean lower the paid day?
They want to reduce the overtime, so they say
Every time I do that it does not last long.

Oh yeah, I heard they wanted to get everyone on 8 hours as well. I’ll believe it when I see it. It’s so hard to get drivers on an eight hr workday, there is just so many variables out there that are out of the control of the company or driver.
Let me work later 8 and 1/2 hours a day I can do another couple years

It sounds like you have a pretty good handle on what life's handed you so far. My only couple pieces of advice would be to, bet on yourself and make a positive change or focus on the positives. There are few greater feelings than building something and have it be successful. I also get great satisfaction from being part of something positive in my church, neighborhood and community. Time like money is an investment, use it wisely.

Maybe add a little incentive..”Have the Company start contributing weekly to our pension funds (Overtime) Hours instead of stopping at 40 a week...
It would fix that issue real quick...
During the Total Service Plan driver questionnaire a few drivers asked for 10.5 paid days.
Have the numbers came out for this year yet? Are there COLA raises in a contract year?

May to May inflation was below COLA levels
Thank you.

Plus, if there were COLA raises, they’d just be rolled in with the new rate in a contract year.
