I like this part...
"They represent 28 to 30 percent of the total LTL market, with hundreds of thousands of customer across the country. They have a very stable workforce - that's the one thing you get with unions. But they need to catch up on the time they lost and they need to move fast."
Mr. Jindel almost makes this sound like a bad thing...
Perhaps Mr. Jindel doesn't realize that this point is one of the strongest selling tools that our sales force uses (other than pricing and customization) to sell their product... They tout us to the customer, by way of stable, safe and secure workforce, then behind the shed, in the shadows, beat us over the head because we "cost too damn much"...
Simple socio-economics, Mr. Jindel... You can't have that stable workforce unless you're willing to pay the price...
In the world of 100% + turn-over rates for most aspects of this industry, our paltry 3% turnover rate (mostly due to attrition) doesn't come easy, my friend... We're the last of the Mohicans... After us, you get "pot luck with a truck"...
