i really dont want to get into a pi**ing match here folks, but i didnt know CF specialized in NEXT DAY/2 DAY freight? if they did, i stand corrected.
as far as cheaper labor costs go, and if you are only talking about hourly rate, CCX makes more than the union. $22.55. its not much more than the union makes but its still more. if you want to talk about time vesting till top rate, conway takes 5 yrs to get to top rate. union is 2 yrs. so in essence, conways labor cost is cheaper in that perspective. on the other side of labor costs, it is cheaper from an company operating standpoint to have a universal soldier as an employee capable and available to do anything need.
i am not anti anything. i am "pro" family. i do whats best at the current time in my life. i am proud to be associated in a sense with CF. it was wrong what happened and im sorry. but i definetly had nothing to do with the closure considering i didnt even get my CDL untill after they closed up shop. heck i went to driving school with a CF dockhand. he wore his CF hat everyday. he was so proud to have worked there. thats why anytime you guys on the forum say it was a family atmosphere i know what you guys are talking about. i heard about it from him.
anytime im on p/d and i see any kind of CF stuff. i kindly ask if i can have it. i allready have a few old CF magnets on my fridge. one day i asked for a magnet and i actually had a shipping guy slightly yell at me saying i was the reason for CF's closure. i couldnt believe what i was hearing! he asked me if i was going to throw it away. i told him i collect CF stuff. i had to set him straight and explain i didnt even start driving untill they were closed. he calmed down after that.
