[QUOTE="hondo, post: 1403871, member: 8661"] [LIST] [*]You would have to weather a pay cut for about the first 3-4 years. Top rate after 4 years, somewhere over $36/hr by then. [*]No premiums for health insurance, short & long term disability. Jury duty & funeral leave pay. Paid vacation time (but weeks off are bid by seniority-may not get any time off in summer because of this). Life & additional disability insurance should be available (out of pocket) through company & union. [*]monthly Union dues- based on your pay rate & the Local's Bylaws, but probably <$100. Plus an initiation fee (varies widely). [*]Retirement: contributions to a pension fund for you, a 401k plan with no matching contribution. [*]Edit: Paid holidays, at least 8. Most areas get premium pay on top of that if you have to work. [*]Edit: 1.5x pay after 8 hrs/day, not just after 40/wk. [/LIST] The work itself could be: [LIST] [*]Customer pickup runs or delivering an MT trailer and picking up a customer's load. [*]Shuttling to & from railyards, or airport. [*]Spotting trailers, usually with a 2 axle daycab or a terminal tractor ("Ottawa"). [*]Road runs, home daily. Some runs paid by mileage, some hourly. [*]Team driving. This is where the company is expanding operations. Sounds like you don't want this, hope that's not what they're taking applications for. [*]With the exception of teams, 5 consecutive day workweek. [/LIST] Since you would be at the bottom seniority wise, your start time & job assignments would vary from week to week. [/QUOTE]
