And tired of hearing about dock lighting in Ft Worth. Those bastards.

Fert Werth has gone dark for me. I live off the sun's light now.

And you could easily and rightfully argue that the union didn't understand the effects of deregulation, and has fought the companies when they've tried to implement business plans that non union carriers have proven work. T force to a large degree uses the same model as the non union carriers, and ABF has a modified version of their plan. Yellow stands alone as the only carrier truly still using the 1950's union business model today. To quote Dr. Phil "How's that working out for you?"

T-force’s business model is Shrink the workforce and cut terminals in half and rent door’s out! And don’t forget contractors running 50.7 percent of our road work!

Many of those companies were run and or owned by former drivers. Not real businessmen, most just got lucky growing their companies.
They were not prepared for deregulation. They used Einstein's definition of insanity. They did nothing until it was their turn to go out of business
Meanwhile the teamsters kept on with business as usual. Allowing the non union sector to beat every teamster carrier in performance and more importantly profits!
And here we are today......

Excellent analysis. The consolidation should have been implemented along with the merger.

Work force has been depleted due to buy outs and retirement, however we have drivers quit due to lack of work. Tforce is by far better than ups in my opinion.

Top management is already working for substandard wages. They are running the third largest LTL carrier in the country.

They are running the third largest ltl carrier straight into the ground

I’m afraid it does, certainly nothing could be that poorly mismanaged even if left to it’s own devices…

I believe that language was only in affect while the MOA was in place. when last contract was signed that all went away. Anyone know otherwise?

I know I would still only be able to pay 85% of mufungo's asking price.
