Well, each has their own idea of good job. Going to be driving for a long time? Do believe would rather be with a good employee/ownership relationship. Since I'm not a blind (Koll-aid drinking, propaganda spewing leftist) (This comment was for Canary). Worked for ABF couple years. ABF fine/union sucked. Productive/Free thinking Libertarian. Wasn't for me. Have about 8 years in here. 4.5 wild nationally, 3.5 years bid run. Treated well, where ever run. Been independent, union and an O/O. Constant new/upgraded equipment, raises 57.5 now. Company on the way up or losing money and reducing pay. Rather control my retirement, then depend on pension plan that will be bankrupt long before I retire. Yes, the medical is better, yet what happens when the political Obamacare payoff waivers run out? Next contract?? Operate out of a terminal. were 80% of line haulers and P&D were union. Union shops have reduced or left/consolidated into larger terminals. OD is expanding. Do what's best for you, for me, wish OD was in my region 10 to 15 years earlier. Read through the boards. See, which mentality/company-employee relationship is for you.
