I truly miss South Holland dock compared to my current.
I like big docks .. little docks are boring. 218 DOORS > 58 whimpy doors.

FWIW, I love Whitescout's avatar too seeing it's actually a pic I took of my lift. LOL As seen on my Flikr page.

We still have 11 of the old Nissan 40's, with three of the newer (to us) grey ones we got from OCY. I'd take my 024 anyday!
Hey When I was a Teamster way back in the day 1966 to be exact.
One could not get a dock job without a commercial drivers license.
Because of the bids being that a driver could bid the dock for one year if they wanted.
Where would the low man on the dock go without a license?
You got it bye bye.
I know a northern NY UPS Freight terminal that all of their dockworkers who don't have CDL's may work full-time hours,however they only get part time pay rate per hour.
That is the way they have been for as long as I can remember.
Although now that I've been retired a year and a half it may of changed there with the union?
I'm not sure?
I know the TM would promote his dockworkers to full time pay as soon as any of them got their CDL even if they stayed on as a dockworker.
Yes BusterNite I'm sure it won't take you very long to start enjoying your retirement.
Every once in awhile somebody in my church will ask me how I'm enjoying my retirement?
I tell them all the same thing.
"Every day is like Saturday,get up when I want,and do what I want whenever I want."
