During the last meeting we had about the part timers coming in. The big dog (Leathers) asked everyone whom had been there for 10 years or longer to raise their hands and several guys raised their hands. He then said "conway freight is the #1 very best company a CDL driver can drive for, I know it and you know it". Then said , Name one company that has a better combined pay and benefit package. No one said anything.
He then went on to say "I hear guys complaining all the time saying how much they've lost so I then ask them what exactly they've lost and that's my question to you today, what have you lost?" One guy said pension/retirement and he replied that they hadn't lost it but that it was converted into a 401K and that the 401K was actually better. No one else said anything. He said we've all seen the 401k skyrocket over the last few months.
So although I'm newer, as much as I've seen here that you guys have lost a lot, I was amazed no one came up with anything else. When he asked the question I thought they were going to cover him up with things they'd lost. Made me wonder how much had really been lost.
