Like pallet jacks are productive... would take a couple nights instead and cause a couple injury claims.
Why not?
Customers can wait another couple days for delivery.

Turning up the trucks would cancel out the quarterly profit.
Buy Buy Buy rating on next speed reduction.
55 MPH save money on fuel, make more profit.
What’s this Quarterly profit you speak of ?
Sometimes I feel like I work at a nursing home but no one will retire have the best run and they need or their wife needs the health insurance.

In other words we cannot afford to retire?
If your not near retirement your turn will come to make the decision.
I'm leaving soon. You can have the dock bid I've been more or less stuck on for 10 years. I've got over 30 and many more have more than I. So even I cannot get decent hours.
Come to think of it. There are no decent shifts there.
Lol.
But you can have mine. More than happy to pass it to you.
Sounds like your misery is all because of those selfish older guys who won't give it up so you can be happy. Damn them for not being considerate of your needs.
The world would be a better place if Roadway and Yellow were still competitors.
Yeah, if you would retire, I'd have more time for my posts here on TB, "You Ole Inconsiderate"
While I recognize those of Yellow heritage disagree, if Yellow Corporation had not purchased Roadway Corporation, Yellow would have gone the way of C-F and so many other unionized LTL carriers. And frankly, given the condition of the economy, at that time, I'm unsure Roadway Express would have survived either.
I did my duty and "stepped aside" so a mid 50 year old could move up the seniority list!
There's always Walmart.I did my duty and "stepped aside" so a mid 50 year old could move up the seniority list!

I was 54 when PIE folded, several of our guys got on with Yellow, I was offered a job also, after being at the top of the board and 5 weeks vacation, I wasn't willing to start over, I retired in1990.
I still don't regret not going back to work.
I may rethink this when CS goes broke and I can't keep gas in my boat.
The future conditions that face so many retired Americans, is tragic. For many working class Americans there was a tacit "contract", we exchanged less in wages for a promise of a defined benefit pension. For nearly 40 years that promise has been steadily eroded. With many such as us left to try to live on significantly less than we prepared for. Some help at the federal level regarding prescription drugs and healthcare, would have a significant effect on the rising expenses of old age.
I look at the price of a new vehicle, an apartment, or a new home and I wonder, what is it going to be like ten or fifteen years from now.

I thought you were going over to that Romanian outfit off Harlem Ave.,to run team that was paying like 2 grand a week for running like 7 or 8000 miles?
As far as I remember, some of the younger workers would rant and rave about the older senior workers but they would always do what was best for themselves.
