    How about a Raise?

    Labor is the highest cost for any company. Fringe rate or % could be around 22% or more. What that would mean, after paying workers comp, medical, vacation, and sick pay, etc for one employee. 1 full time employee - lets just say 10.00 per hour 2080 hours in a year = 20,800 dollars Fringe...

    How about a Raise?

    Rates from those 'other' makes you wonder. While in Dallas, one driver saide he got a load paying 1.68 a mile with low D/H.(Sprinter), But, our rates are designed to "keep your wheels moving". I don't think E1 will ever pay us 1.68 a mile however, anything will help

    Belt

    If you remeber, it was not a wobble, it was a slight side to side, like it was getting loose the tighting up on the belt's travel, the tech said it was normal. I can't beleive that. Like I said, all Pulleys and Tensioner have been replaced twice this year.

    update from ctx post

    CTX should not have gone in the defensive mode. Instead they should hear what the people are saying who makes up the company. In my “other life” I had an open door policy, any employee could come to me with any issues they deemed necessary to discuss. Well, two or three times a week this one guy...

    Do you use a Fuel Supplement

    Thought so! You are correct in the statement of moneymaker scheme. You could do better by just putting a teaspoon of acetone in the fuel tank. I do not use any additives, tried it twice and both times gummed up my EGR valve.
