You speaking from experience?
I know the drivers make pretty good money,I have spoke to several.
When you look at the discrepency in pay from retail and drivers it is
obvious they aren't paying drivers decent because they want to.
With all the Federal regs and bs a driver must endure,if their wasn't that much of a pay discrepancy,it would be a no brainer for most.No more away from home,no more background checks,no DOT physical requirements,no changing sleep habits,etc...Make good money and live like a normal person and less Government intrusion.The extra money is for the bullcrap we have to put up with..
I agree drivers deserve more,I also believe 100% they pay drivers more than they would like to,to eliminate the threat of a union.
I disagree. The IBT is losing elections because of what we have gone thru.
The IBT is not feared. The reason Walmart pays well is to be competitive. Our wages are stagnet while everyone els is raising theirs. This is because this is a drivers market.
I have talked to non union companies when I got laid off. Not once has "how many letters have you gotten" has been asked. In fact, I got a letter from the non Union company I worked for, and still call me wanting me to come back!
Going back to Walmart, they are hurting for drivers as well. They have lowered their hiring standards, they advertise $73,000 first year running regional ( LOH 350 miles). When I was at MATS, YRC had no drivers talking to them, Walmart had a line!
Fact is YRC is not competitive. Period!
Maybe that is the reason for the hiring freeze.

I stand by what I said.This whole industry would SUCK without the threat of a union.

I fixed it for ya, hope you don't mind.
Thanks, so true.
The union has turned cannibal, no one left to eat, so they are now eating their own.
That comes from the money they make from selling Americans imports from China,
Not from hauling freight.
Maybe we should get in the retail business.
Anybody want a Holland hat??
I'd rather wear my Big R hat, or my Snortin Norton hat.
No thanks, I've got enough Big R stuff. Coats, hats, and Spotlight magazines dating back to 1982.
