Just about what the carrier craft makes..Im a carrier for 2 years now,but thinking of switching over if I can..Have my class b cdl with air brakes from last job...Are you guys losing work as well or is it steady?I thank you in advance for any input...carrier craft work is going down for ptfs like myself..

7 ton level 7 starting 41964 top at 53668

tractor level 8 starting 42802 top at 54870

takes like 10 years to top off .40 raise every 36 weeks

this is for overworkedpw
  drivers start out level 7 which is about 52000 I think
   tractor trailer is level 8 I think. I do know tractor is 1 level higher,, it's either 6 and 7 OR 7 and 8

How much is starting pay for MVO(straight job truck)and whats top pay..

was just wondering if any other VMF's are getting their OT cut and contracting out the butt or if it's just our wonderful @3%* manager in Akron

There have been some questions as to whether or not COLA is computed in retirement computations. As far as I can tell they are not - see below. Now, COLA is figured into your pay while your working.

586 Annuity Computation

Basic pay for retirement purposes includes higher level pay but does not include cost-of-living adjustments (COLA, TCOLA), overtime pay, night differential, military pay, allowances, premium pay, or lump-sum terminal leave benefits.
