I would have to agree with you. I tried OD twice before I had a union job and each time they sent me for a physical the same day. By doing that so quckly it made me think there was no stability there. I stepped away, in hind site I think maybe it was management at that time. Once I talked to some of those guys and heard how they treat their drivers I wish I had took those offers. They seem like a good fit for me. After numerous layoffs and instability with the union companies I walked away completely. Now I try OD and I get nothing. If anything I'm more qualified and still no accidents. I get the feeling that they throw my app away soon as I walk out. And no I'm not an entitled union man. Just a man screwed by the union who wants to work for a descent outfit

No they just look at it and say we will call you if we need youDoes the t/m interview you when you fill the app out ?
if you have more than a couple years in a union shop you will never get approved by home office...area VP or safety dept will reject your application and terminal manager will get a earfull for even trying........speaking from experience...policy is not "written" but is enforced...everyone is terrified of salting
Recently found out one of the drivers they hired has a criminal record for window peeping on young girls. So that's better than having worked union?
