I think I vaguely remember seeing something like that. I definitely remember seeing drivers hired after 8-1-23 would top out in 4 years at $32/h. Seeing that one got me seething. That’s the same crap as a 22.4.

Ask from the top, force bottom.
I could be wrong and I don't want to search through all the threads, but I think you got that from something some idiot said who seemed to think taking away overtime after 8 would help with something else. Obviously I'm a bit fuzzy on the details.
So many threads. Thanks.
I know what you mean. Such much info and my emotions have been up and down all week with the flow of negotiations. Right now it's a high.
That sucks. They were only making like $26 hr to begin with. Hope that isn’t a sign of what we’re going to get. They’re the lowest paid trucking company I know of.
It was a 25% raise (15% up front) from a company that made $290M. TF would you be pissed for if we got a 25% raise?
They got $3.50 an hr up front that gets eaten up by inflation, so they got $3 for the life of their contract. Sorry, I think that sucks! If it wasn’t for inflation I could see your point.
I don't care if you can see it. Inflation is based on a percentage, it's simple math. If we got $4.50 tomorrow, we would be even with inflation, we make 50% more than they do.
It’s not about the raise. The going rate for driving a truck, is starting at $30hr. They were already 3.50 behind. So actually all they got was $3hr raise over the life of their contract in the worst year for inflation in 50 yrs.
And our company makes 500% more than they do. They were already behind in wages, the company was already winning before negotiations started, ever since the last contract. The going rate for driving a truck is $30hr. They made $26. So congrats abf you now make what everybody has been making for the last 5 yrs. Enjoy your $3hr over the next five during the worst inflation in 50yrs
We don’t start til 10:15 I would love to start at 8:00. Might be home for dinner once in a while.
1015? Do you not have commit times for air packages?
Not until primary starts earlier, which means twilight starts earlier, which pickups must be earlier. They won't do it
Some guys don't have airs
