these days, some Teamsters are driving 500+ miles nonstop, jump in the truck and go!
 
Yep, Tri, we had these too.
Cape Canaveral, Orlando 520, C F ran 2 one week 3 the next, our guys ran 3 every week
6 Atlanta turns, If you don't think that was a man killer.
I had enough fuzz to not run those killers.
I ran Jax.392, they later cut to 371mi.

Older guys retire and younger guys replace them. Been going on since trucking began. Nothing new here.

Wrong. The last MOU was a direct attack on senior employees. Wage, vacation, vacation hours, pension cuts. All of it was implemented to force out employees with years of service.

Employees will cut and run too. Not many will hire on for what they will propose to future employees. It will be one part of many of tneir downfall.
As they say. You get what you pay for. And this will be a perfect example.
I am so glad I am so close to being done. I feel bad for those who chose to come into this company and take employment. But we all have choices.
And yes. I do believe they are not giving anything back and are gonna ask for more.
No doubt in most minds that work there.
