Looks to me that we are dead last in Nationwide LTL carriers. Everyone after us I believe are regional carriers.
In revenue only. These numbers don't tell the whole story. You can make all the revenue in the world and it won't make a difference if you can't turn a profit. Unfortunately, as a private company, that information is on a need to know basis. Us employees probably won't know we're losing money until they start handing out brown shirts and shorts when we come in for work.
dont say that i worked at 2 that got bought out an it sucked got worse. both times.

Brown might not be too bad. I know Im sweating my ass off in these black uniforms and the UPS guys always look cool with no sweat. LOL
And they get overtime pay!!! I would think it would be unlikely that UPS would buy R&L, but I guess its possible...
Some employees are exempt from the overtime pay provisions.

Drivers, driver's helpers, loaders and mechanics are exempt from the overtime pay provisions of the FLSA if employed by a motor carrier, and if the employee's duties affect the safety of operation of the vehicles in transportation of passengers or property in interstate or foreign commerce. You may also wish to review the applicable regulation
UPS gets overtime pay!!! Why, Because they have a contract that says they have to!
We are all very aware of the regulation but that doesn't mean its ok for the company to take advantage of it.There are plenty of carriers and trucking company's that pay time and a half for OT that are non union and don't have a contract stipulating that the y must pay it,they just do because its the right thing to do.
Guess it all depends on whether your happy or not where you are.
I never said I was unhappy,just stating a fact. Im 3rd senior driver in our shop, at top rate and I don't put in long hours and my TM is a good guy that treats me good so all in all Im not too bad off but there are plenty of people here that cant say that and do deserve to be treated better.
