[QUOTE="Harley Rider, post: 926466, member: 10872"] Right there with you DS. In July I will have 28 years in package cars. I will be 55 years old which is what you have to have to qualify for health insurance in Central States. Its not so much my body wearing out (which it is), but all the stupid new rules, regs, and telematics. Add to that all the management that doesn't have a clue what it is to drive a package car all day long. When all the management is gone that actually came up through the ranks instead of being hired right out of college are gone, this company will be a joke to work for. They hire em right out of college for a reason. They pay em next to nothing compared to what a promoted driver would have been making after a few years. My oncar sups here have been around a few years longer than me. They don't mind telling me their true feelings. They are even more ready to get out than I am. If my 401k gets up to a certain amt this year, I am gone. I use to think that if I was going to work after retirement that I might as well not retire. It is not easy to find a 31.00 hour job with bennies. Now I have decided to get out and enjoy life while I can. Money ain't everything and these 10 and 11 hour days are for the birds. Good luck with whatever you do. [/QUOTE]
