We've lost one driver (4-1/2 yrs)and a second (1-1/2yrs)gave his 2 week notice past Monday. Both good hard workers and it was quick to see that they worked with a conscience. The type of worker that made yours and everyone's job easier each day. A strong attribute for todays truckdriver especially in LTL. Too often I see the "next guy's problem" attitude ya know...not wanting to get off the forklift or not strapping some freight, things of that nature. We now have a third who is on the fence. Two of the three spent the winter on layoff sometimes not working for 2-3 weeks at a time. Still on layoff even though we have been busy most every day. Many of us grew up this way in freight and sometimes prospered, sometimes suffered for it but todays driver will not put up with it for very long. The more senior driver just had "enough". Sometimes not enough help and working 13-14 hour days, sometimes had enough of driving a 958,000 mile driven tractor with no a/c, no floor heat and vibrated so bad you had a headache by lunch. We still have 4-5 of those tractors here. The overall trucking outlook so bad he made a career change at 45 years old. Add the prospect of no or little pension, poor Teamster leadership and I would think anyone with little time invested in the Union is having a long hard decision put in front of them. One they did not want to make...but they've been let down by both company and Union and for months now have worked wondering WTF is going on? Yeah sure we all went through this before... some many times... but most off the time we knew there was a better contract waiting for us on the other side and the National had our back. That is no longer the case and that is where these hard life changing decisions must be made for some of our Brothers and Sisters. I'm curious as to what percentage of drivers did ARCBEST think would be leaving the company after this contract and more importantly what caliber of driver do they think they can attract now?
