Most people on here fail to realize that we operate in a non-union industry now and blame the Teamsters for the economics of our situation. Fedx is the big boy on the block and are closely followed by xpo-OD and many others. They set the pay scale now. Now before several get on here and say the NONS pay more- you have to remember they have very little benefits. Most don’t pay overtime- most insurance is completely useless-they provide little if any retirement benefits-and wouldn’t know what a paid sick day is. Also remember our insurance is $401/wk. that’s $10/hr and the company is paying $2.20/hr into the pension which would amount to a 10% 401 contribution. Ask around how many of the NONS are getting 10% match. I won’t get into having seniority rights or grievance procedures. Ask the NONS about filling a grievance or getting paid for seniority run around. They’ll think you’re speaking Latin. All is not gloom and doom.
The biggest player, FxF pays OT after 8hrs,paid sick days, seniority is just as relaxant as in a union shop. They get solid 401k match, plenty of ways to file a greivence.
Medical is the only area where they are behind the union shops, but it's not that bad of insurance. They also have a fleet where 82% of the tractors are less than 3yrs old,with the oldest only being 8.
