First I would like to sincerely thank you for putting together that list, it helped me out.

still SNBC is a little off, I'll help; I'm currently inxperienced SNBC OTR driver, but regional was what I was going to do before I learned a few things.


pay scale starting no exp for SE (regional driving) is .27 cpm starting with per-diem that drops to .25.

for OTR it's .29 cpm per-diem drops it to .27, it then scales up from there.

Yeah I know what the pay scale says, but it also says at the very bottom in small print (gotta love small print) that regional and dedicated pay scales can vary.

New students don't need hazmat, nor do experienced when they first start, it's just recommended (I still don't have mine for a couple of weeks)

The quarterly bonus is 2 cpm for all your paid miles during that quarter. You have to attend a safety/business meeting once a quarter and pretty much not screw up anything to get it. It can range very much, last quarter the highest at my oc was 800 some odd dollars earned.

OTR earns 6 days off a month, regional 5. You have to put in for that time at least 7 days ahead if possible unless you work out some emergency thing. You aren't supposed to take all 6 off at once, and you have to give a lot of leeway and get special permission if you want to take that time off not at your house.

 

i read a bunch of this thread previously.dont have time to catch up.anyhow i see these quality carriers and williams tankers in the paper mills every day.they are always unloading chemicals wearing these dirty rain gear suits and gloves.i find this disturbing.in the navy i conducted training on chemical warfare and decontamination and this nasty rain gear troubles me.im not gonna tell them how to do their job.i have not seen where they stow this gear but i would not be suprised if this filthy chemical infested rain suit is in the sleeper. i think they should have disposable gear which can be bagged and disposed of.one of my ex coworkers was trying to recruit me to quality carriers and he described a 12 hour trip to vancouver island from tacoma.yea right.12.75 and hour no thanx

 

Hey skywalker darlin, do you have a problem with your little lightsaber there sir????

 

Correct me if I am wrong, but does anyone else here seem to think that that Cyanide dude is a little long winded. :lol: Ok all kidding aside, ok so not really. Now the fourth slackerteer is here but alas I am close but not all the way in the group for I am the outsider. :twisted: That is ok though I never have managed to fit all the way in with a group. It is more fun that way anyways. I work for the same company those other slackers do but yet not quit because I work for the food grade side. I don't quit have enough guts for what they do but almost. Anyways nice to say hi to everyone. Have a beautiful day now

 

No dear.....just having alittle trouble finding my spare batteries....

 

Uhhh, "longwinded"? Nawww, he just has wayyyyy toooooo much time on his hands..... especially now that he's been formally anointed as the "GPS"

But you have to give him credit.....he sure has alot of "keyboard stamina"!

 

No dear.....just having alittle trouble finding my spare batteries....

Well Darlin I have some spare batteries if you need them that bad. Although you might want to consider getting something with an exstended life to it :lol:

 

Yeah well he might have some stamina but you should hear how many naughty words come out of his mouth while he tries to play with his keyboard and how many ungodly hours it takes him to chicken peck all that stuff out. My goodness you would figure by now the man would learn how to type the right way :roll: So anyways do I get to be in the club. :twisted: I promiss I won't cause to much trouble :twisted: :P

 

I guess GPS is going to have to come up with some rules for joining the slackers club. from the way he talkes the food grade side slacks more the you two doo .
