I truly hope so!Every year, the same thing is said. Every year, we’ve got raises.

By design ?
Rumor has it a “big” raise is expected
So has anyone heard any rumors on wage increases yet? How much of a raise do you think it will take to make us competitive?From the sounds of the raises coming out. It’s about to get real tight for drivers around here. All day in the city I got people asking me if I’m looking for a job or if I know someone who is. It takes money to make money.
$3 - $4 an hour to get competitive.So has anyone heard any rumors on wage increases yet? How much of a raise do you think it will take to make us competitive?
Do you really think we will get anything close to that$3 - $4 an hour to get competitive.
I posted this on a different thread, 9%. Take with a grain of salt as I run night line haul. That will come out to about $2 an hour and 5 cpm. I would be shocked if it it's true.So has anyone heard any rumors on wage increases yet? How much of a raise do you think it will take to make us competitive?
FedEx has gotten 2.10 in the last 6 months where I'm at, so, if they are actually competing we may get it.I posted this on a different thread, 9%. Take with a grain of salt as I run night line haul. That will come out to about $2 an hour and 5 cpm. I would be shocked if it it's true.
In bargaining you should aim high then work towards a reasonable position. Personally , I don't think $3-$4 an hour is enough. I believe it's on the low side.Do you really think we will get anything close to that
If that's your bitmoji, Magician, you look way too much like Brad.....
You don't really mean that right?Come out and say what the companies intentions are now so if drivers don't like where things are heading they can make a move before things pick back up again.
Sure I do. Even if it is not what you want to hear ( no raise or a small raise ) communication as far as livelihood matters. Some people will make tough decisions over the next few months.You don't really mean that right?
I agree with everything you said, but you seem to have missed my point. Tell me, did Con-way give advance notice before they sold us out to XPO? Of course not because they knew that drivers would leave in droves. Why should the company tell us anything of it's future intentions? Honestly, if I were CEO of XPO and was thinking about selling it off or buying a competitor, the last people I'd tell would be my most valuable assets, the drivers.Sure I do. Even if it is not what you want to hear ( no raise or a small raise ) communication as far as livelihood matters. Some people will make tough decisions over the next few months.
I don't know where you are Scotch , but a lot of places can't wait to hire right now. What better time to make a move than now? A pay raise and/or bonus may sway someone one way or the other.
Anyone have any details on what happened in South Bend ? Heard a bunch of guys walked out due to low wages . Can anyone confirm or is it gossip ?
