[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1073003, member: 24302"] I and some others start later than most couriers at my station since we are out later as 4X10's. I pretty much clock in, go to my truck, pretrip, on the belt pulling my own freight for about half the sort, which already is shorter than larger stations I've worked in. Then I'm onroad, working in one of the most scenic areas I've seen, and I've worked all over the country. I'm pretty much on my own, get paid $18.17hr, and have a few important benefits, even though they are scaled down from years ago. I think you should have the same. Your pay probably won't keep up with inflation, you'll have to buy into the new healthcare on your pay, your taxes are about to go up, you have no pension of any sort. I'm glad you enjoy living for today, but believe me there will come a day when you realize all those years of work are taking a toll, you won't be able to do this forever, and how will you provide for your family, let alone yourself if something bad happens? Not being an alarmist, talking about prudent concern for your own well being. Someday MFE's exhortations will hit home. Then what? [/QUOTE]
