Not trying to start a pissing match here and I hope you guys and gals get what you want as far as a contract but a few key points here as the non union carries vs the union carriers iv worked at both and the current one does pay overtime in our region and OD also in some regions pay OT from what I’ve heard along with Fedex Freight ,Midwest motor express and Saia and as far as insurance goes me and my family of 4 has full coverage for 89$ a week a single man can get it as low as 26$ a week and if you play your cards right open up a health savings account through the insurance go get a blood test and physical done well that’s money put into that account towards out of pocket that in return you wouldn’t have to pay and there is a couple non unions that provide free health insurance Midwest Motor Express being one of them providing you are a non smoker and work rules and job protection just come in and do your job don’t cause trouble and go home and there’s no issue iv seen more people fired over at YRCW than I have in 11 years at the non union I was atIt’s crazy how kids starting out are not going to the Union carriers anymore This was the premium job you could never get you foot in the door. If you did it was like winning the lottery.
Now days people starting in this business don’t so much care about the pension, work rules and healthcare which is so important to us. That comes at a cost .
Here where I’m at
OD heard $27
Estees $26
R-L. $26
That also comes with no overtime
No work rules
Between $75 -$300 Healthcare
This is the new generation that we’re competing with. It’s about today $$$ coins in your pocket
When I worked at OD in the mid 1980's the insurance was free for single individuals. The main difference between union and non-union seems to be the work rules. I think there is more job protection at a union carrier but because I have never been fired I can only speculate on it.Not trying to start a pissing match here and I hope you guys and gals get what you want as far as a contract but a few key points here as the non union carries vs the union carriers iv worked at both and the current one does pay overtime in our region and OD also in some regions pay OT from what I’ve heard along with Fedex Freight ,Midwest motor express and Saia and as far as insurance goes me and my family of 4 has full coverage for 89$ a week a single man can get it as low as 26$ a week and if you play your cards right open up a health savings account through the insurance go get a blood test and physical done well that’s money put into that account towards out of pocket that in return you wouldn’t have to pay and there is a couple non unions that provide free health insurance Midwest Motor Express being one of them providing you are a non smoker and work rules and job protection just come in and do your job don’t cause trouble and go home and there’s no issue iv seen more people fired over at YRCW than I have in 11 years at the non union I was at
And even the work rules vary from terminal to terminal. When I was around, Dayton drivers seemed pretty happy; Chicago drivers were just...tired.When I worked at OD in the mid 1980's the insurance was free for single individuals.

But if you come in do your job and go home you have nothing to worry about is the way I look at it and a non union company is not going to hire you just to fire you to get a big laugh out of it but like I said not trying to start anything here and I hope you fellas get what you want for a good contract and don’t back down from Queen Judy and her antics along with the unions anticsWhen I worked at OD in the mid 1980's the insurance was free for single individuals.
