9.5 for the guys under 4 years

[Cementups]

Why does everyone want to be on the 9.5 I don't get it .

Without OT this isn't a high paying job

Because you get to a point in your career ,where you can't work 10-12 hours anymore.

Or straight up, don't want to


no need in pointing out the irony in my name

Here's my last several weeks. I have no interest in OT. We make plenty without it. Aside from my mortgage and monthly bills, we have no debt and can spend freely on most things we want. Spending time with my family and coaching my daughter's softball team is far more important than money. Money can't replace those memories.
This is how all our weeks should look. (My net pay is not calculated properly) The one week is less because I took an unpaid day off.

I get guarantee pay and still break $70K.

Last I calculated, base pay is just around $75k. I can get by well on that.

Does your wife have a good job?

Does your wife have a good job?

She makes more than $40k. She's a customer service rep/tech support for AT&T Wireless. It's also a union job. But it's CWA, probably the worst union I've ever seen the processes for. And all her stewards seem to be in the company favor. Such a shame. I would have a field day at her job if I was one of her stewards.

In a way I find it funny even selfish to be on the list, but in a way its not because the extra work not on your truck can and should create more routes/jobs.

Do u have nothing coming out for retirement?

Do u have nothing coming out for retirement?

Yes, plenty. Thanks. I stated that my net pay was not correct in the picture so it was not an accurate representation of my weekly take home.

 

[undies]

About 45 hours will get me $1k take home. I can live with that and see my baby girl for a bit before bedtime!

Been there, done that. You just gotta ay the game for now.

Put in a few 8 hour requests.

Never even thought of that. How many of those do we have a month? And are there any stipulations on those? I e. Need so many years senority....how many days notice ?

It definitely does create more jobs. I am on a split route that is in almost 2 days a week now that only used to be in during peak. All because 2 drivers in the loop are on the 9.5 list.

Because when u have a little one and wife getting home at 9-930 all the time gets old

Why is your wife getting home at 9-930?
Who is watching the little one?

Depends on your local supplement. Here it's two a month ,goes by seniority and we have to give a week's notice.

We have diverted several split raises to our pension which puts our base pay closer to $70K.

I would think if you had a little one and the wife gets home at 9-930....consider yourself lucky!

$35 an hour to most people is a high paying job.

9.5 is 1.5 hours of OT

However, you are actually at work for 10.5 hours, plus drive time to and from work. Which actually gives you a couple hours at night with your family, if you are lucky. I usually don't get home before 8pm. After shower and dinner, have about an hour to spend with wife, because I like to hit the rack by 10pm.
