the other ltls O>R is good because they do more work with less people....................
bottom line go ask how many hooks per hour they do or bills on the dock compared to our big break bulks
.there biggest savings are legacy costs and the road drivers they fuel there trucks (one less teamster job) they make and break there sets (3 less teamster jobs) and work the dock in most cases (eliminating another teamster job)..equals 5 versus one..
welch said 10 or 15 years ago in Chicago ridge we have to many people doing those jobs 5 versus non union ltl has 1) ........they have profits because of a lot of factors they don't have the legacy costs we do....................... and they do more work with less people, some don't pay overtime I've been told......... some don't pay as much ,most if not all pay something for there insurance etc
