You are probably right about Holland just doing what it was told by USF Corp.
Former Red Star management doing the hiring of former Red Star Teamsters to work in former Red Star terminals doing former Red Star work with former Red Star equipment
And with a written agreement between Holland & the IBT as to how the rehiring was to be done
Maybe arrogant isn't the right word but when qualified men were denied a job & the only reason given was "you are not Holland material" then if not arrogance then what.
I only brought this up in response to Grizz's comment about Holland not leaving a good man hanging
2631, I've seen it happen numerous times here locally (ME). Good men get passed over continously for a man that is in good favor with his local, senior or not. Problem is some of you guy's are reaping what you sow. Reguardless of what you call it---Kissin_ _ _ or what in this day your best off keeping a clean record if possible. Your X-RS managers layed the pipe to you all and its time you realize it. GRIZZ

As a former driver for Holland(No Home Time and really sick of the fellow drivers at my barn minding business that they shouldnt),I may chime in on this.Holland is a great company to work for.If you want to be a city driver.The haz-mat portion of the CDL is a must for any LTL carrier.If your'e wanting to be a linehaul driver and like to have a life,Holland is not the answer for you.You won't see your home,family and even the family dog.why make 80 to 100 grand a year if you can't enjoy it?????roadrage said:
Let me see if I understand your post correctly. Former Red Star management went over to Holland and changed the hiring policies that had made Holland successful.These same former Red Star management people violated the written agreement that Holland had signed with the IBT to give former Red Star drivers preferencial consideration in rehiring and Holland was either unaware or okay with it.Grizz said:
I don't believe that any former Red Star manager would have the balls to do anything without the prior approval of Holland.
ps the 2 men that were not Holland material didn't have a problem finding another driving job. Unfortunately it was with a non union company
What a holland terminal manager says about an applicant carries a ton of weight when it comes to hiring. I believe the management that was put in at first at the 8 former redstar terminals had a lot to do with who got on and who did not.Our terminal manager at the time said he would welcome any of those that wanted to head west and when I mentioned it to the few I contacted they declined. To this day the former RS men are welcome here and would not have to deal with any former RS management. The first reply I'll get will say why can't we get a position out east instead and again I'll say look at who out there is calling the shots. When one of the indy men first pulled into philly a manager told him the sign might say usf holland but as far as he was concerned it may as well be RS as long as he was in charge. This is all in the past and water under the bridge as life goes on.

Peg leg it seems strange that a union carrier would pass you by. They look for people in your situation so they can bring you in at 75% and know that you will retire soon after you make full wage so the can then replace you with another new hire at the reduced wage again. We have hired a few guys over the last few years that have done just that.

12pack,I currently live in North Mississippi but i'am moving to Ohio this is why i traveled 655 miles.Under normal presumption one would not pay the $120.00-$150.00 to get a hazmat if they can not get a job using it.

mike432,If i do not get on with an ltl company I would stay with my current job and sell silk flowers/home decor in the Ohio area off of a 48' tractor trailer. This is why i would not need the extra endorsement.In essence i was trying not to put the wagon before the horse.nonetheless i will be getting the haz-mat.
