[PaulthaCup]

Our center is terrible, we aren't on the road until 9;30 at the earliest, and i average about 10hrs of overtime a week, that is completely unwanted and most of the time thats with a short lunch. So yea.........

No wonder I feel shackled. Haven't worked hard since I bid onto my retirement route.

And you have to load your truck. Someone loaded my 125 pkgs today.

Hard work will set you free

No, what you do with the spoils of hard work will set you free.

I just entered my 2nd year of progression. So I'm only making half of top rate.

You cant live comfortably off 45k a year?

It's funny to hear all of this from the guys that have been drivers for quite some time. I'm just starting ( off the street after being a peak season higher) and busting my ass to hit that seniority because once your in your in. I'm sure after awhile I will sound just like you guys but I will be making much better money.

I could, but I don't think my wife could. Time for a new wife...

My building has 3 centers. My center generally everyone is is by 7-730 except for the few slugs. I personally only get my guarantee Monday-Thursday and only when they hammer routes on Friday I'll get about an hour or so of OT. I don't have many bills since I'm young and still live at home. My 401 is maxed and I really don't need or want the Ot right now. Once in a blue moon I'll offer to help someone if I'm feeling in a good mood.

Yeah, skipping your lunch and running all day will get you out of your moms basement really fast.

I average 57hrs a week. Slug this, rookie.

Everyone has different circumstances (even though the government thinks we're all the same). $45K used to be decent, not so much anymore when you live in the northeast and have a family. Wife doesn't work, as she stays home with the baby.

"Comfortably" is amusing since we scrape by deciding which bills will be late each month. Of course it's the one's that don't effect credit (utility bills, ect..).

It's tough being PT. Been there done that. Working 2 or 3 jobs just to make ends meet.

Started the week with 4 hours of OT Monday.

Me,too. Not happy about it. New manager, cutting cars, blah, blah, blah. Makes for a LONG week.
