Well after 3 1/2 years here at Superior its time to move on, turned in my two weeks yesterday. Got a MUCH better paying local job with better benefits, faster trucks, and no weekend work, pension plan and 401k. They also pay time and a half after 40 hrs. The new job is also about 10 min from my house, so no more 45 mile commute every morning. I will still be pulling a tanker, but without my time here at Superior, I wouldn't have been able to get this job. So thanks for everything Superior!!!
My last year here at Superior I worked local and the pay cut I had to take coming off the road just wasn't working for me ($18.00 hr straight time, no OT).
I can't say a bad word about Superior, honestly. Superior is a great company to work for if you have OTR in your blood. They always get you home and they pay pretty good too, you get paid for almost everything you do here. When I was OTR I can only think of a hand-full of times when I wasn't home on the weekends either. In my 3 1/2 years here I never had a problem with really anything. The people down in Morrow #28 (Atlanta) are a great bunch of people to work for and I am kinda sad to be leaving, but there is NO WAY IN HELL I can turn this job down. I've been waiting on a spot to open up for almost two years and now and I finally have the job.
Well, there will be a local spot open here in Atlanta starting July 1st, so if you're interested then call Barry and they will probably hire you because we have too many "old hands" down here and they don't like to "work" hahaha. The local job here really is gravy work. All you do is take empty trailers up to Stepan in Winder to be pre-loaded ( two a day) and come back. You also might have to pre-load a couple trailers in Chattanooga or Macon and deliver a load or two within the week. Yes you have to wake up at 3 or 4am sometimes, but after your 8 or 9 hrs you can go home with no fuss. Us local guys are usually out the door at 1400 or 1500.
Well thanks again Superior and everyone here whom I had the pleasure of meeting.
Rabbitfoot back quiet and reading tha mail!! =)
