Be extremely careful and don't f*** anything up! If your new employer is anything like a union LTL carrier they will fire you for the slightest accident while you are on probation. They dont want to take any chances of being stuck with a bad driver once he gets in the union. :thumbsup: Other than that CONGRATS! You waited along time and I know you fully appreciate your new opportunity! You desrve it bro!
I just came back form giving my 2 weeks. Bossman/Owner took it really well. I was shocked. He told me i would of been a fool if i didn't take it. He even said he is going to call them for me and give me a letter of recommendation. I kinda felt bad leaving him cuz i been there almost 3years and he did treat me like family. But i know in the long run i will be alot better off with the new job. When i called norris sales back and talk to the owner. HE said my dues are 2.2% of my gross pay. But he wasnt sure of the buy in.

Congrats on the new job, sounds like a good deal. I had fun when I was hauling construction equipment around and I think you will, too.
Anyway, since I cannot talk to you anymore because you are in the union now, Good luck and I hope you enjoy the work, the eqipment and the people you work with and for.

It's weird hearing about the pension plans and retirement plans and the unions.
I live in Arkansas and there's no union jobs here that I know of. No retirement or pensions either. There are 401-k's though. Weird how a few hundred miles and a different state is so much difference. I had uncles that had union jobs up in Illinois they are all retired and still getting a check plus S.S. check too. Good luck hope it all works out for you.
