ABF | Hiring Drivers and no work for the ones they have.

Well they've brought purchase trans. Back to our terminal. Not just Werner, but now Swift and Schneider! Isn't PT a break to break deal? Now our terminal is a mini break. Must be how they're doing it?
You could file a grievance on it or have your local Break's union do it but I doubt that anything will be done. I'd bet that the company will declare a lack of manpower and the union will agree.
 
They are probably building up their stable in advanced so they aren't short-handed when the big guys get disqualified.
Ups freight is doing the same thing. They have adds in papers and a big banner on the fence At the gate when there is barley enough work for the guys they have.
They are expecting a lot of failed physicals in the next few years.
 
What's the discounted rate? Might be forced to try and go back to work, if pension cuts are as severe as mentioned.
I believe the discounted rate is in the vicinity of $19/hr.
