[QUOTE="HomeDelivery, post: 1312142, member: 33696"] yes, that's how i got my pay increases ~ i went with the highest bidder & that's how i proved that any monkey w/ some common sense can slip-seat in this opco then, when peak comes around a few were honest that they can't compete w/ the temp agency pay (including the OT & peak bonus). 2 years ago a contractor did match the pay... it was fine for that peak season this peak, i was OK w/ the contractor since he gave me the same service area for the whole time. I got to know the area & can deliver in the dark until 2100 with no stress ~ workload / stop count almost doubled, but same service miles & was pushing 25 stops per hour (thought i would never get that high) ~ so it was instant pay raise for me this year. now, i know some of you do give monthly bonuses for having NO COMPLAINTS or ACCIDENTS & good for them, but many just are happy paying their workers just a tad over min-wage... i'm already leaving myself some outs since my last DOT expiration comes this year (looking at those 3rd party owner-operator outfits & or amazon) and doing some other passive-income endeavors to supplement this low pay structure for now, so it's all good.
