I hear what you're saying brother. But there is no denying that pt use is on the rise. Will you perhaps be still saying this when bid runs become the majority of movement? I am not totally on the side of unionization, but if the attempt fails are you not concerned that pt use will increase so that fedex won't have to face this action again?Gotta love 15+ years. 3 plus weeks VAC and another Friday night off.
Still pulling 88K + a year.
Yeah, boiy !

My bid is pretty safe for now too. And I'm happy with it. But everyday we have drivers bids being cancelled in lieu of pt. How is that right? Is it ok add long as it isn't you? I'm not trying to be a Dick here. Just asking.Seriously...I don't pretend that everything's perfect. But, all things being equal, I'm in a good place.
My pension is good. I've got 5 years into it. Before that Sheridan put an xtra 1.5% of my wages into it. Ten years at 1.5% extra. On top of what I was contributing. I'm in good shape.
No reason for those with less years to squabble.

Don't bet on itPT will never replace a balanced haul. EVER.
Took the words right out of my mouth. We got pts running along side us back and forth everywhere everyday. PT should be cancelled first when volume is down. And extra board should fill the gaps first.Don't bet on it

I still have 677.87 left in my HRA and it's No-Freaking-Vember. One month to go and a family of four. What are you worried about ?
Maybe you should ask YRC who they use to expedite their freight. Or who they choose to salvage their service in time of need. They are one of Custom Critical's top shippers.
We all use purchased transportation. Union or non. We look for cost v. revenue.
Economics, baby !
You have no idea what the truth is. All you know is that you are not happy and you think the union will be able to help you. You belive what you want and i belive what i want. I don;t believe anythng the union says because they are not required by law to tell the truth, so why would they. You are a prime example as to why the teamsters have a bad rap, you either are with them or you will be ridiculed, laughed at, and called a snitch or red shirt. Get a life and quit being a teamster B****.
Or they'll put it on a freight train..... Which everyone is doing now.. The train companies make them sign a contract and they have to ship so many trailers in a certain period of time... So Fred and all the rest are supporting the union worker, under a contract... Thanks Fred,Estes,Cooper and all the rest for your support...LOLFedEx uses purchase trans., NOT in time of need, but as normal operating procedure, every day, like clockwork.
Enjoy your short runs... Few if any long runs will be added. Pay attention to the PT trend. If it continues, it will reach or exceed 50% at some point. The company makes more profit on "economy" freight, as well as purchase transportation. Oh, and in case you're curious, economy is not the only freight going on purchase... "Priority" does too.
Oh, and how much did you say you make per year? :Poke:
Yeah but you have to put that money in there. I have zero. With a better plan I wouldn't need an hra.I still have 677.87 left in my HRA and it's No-Freaking-Vember. One month to go and a family of four. What are you worried about ?
