Besides....why with these benefits. Along with open door policies. Great supervisors. Who work shoulder to shoulder with us, and back us from every stand point.

surfboys, would you care for me to explain the differences between what I get for my $55 a month compared to what you get for not having to pay dues.
I think you may be surprised with the results.

By the way, you mention "no touch freight". I know many people that work at FedEx, FedEX Freight and FedEx National. None of these men have no touch freight. In fact, the only drivers that I've ever heard having no touch freight are union road drivers.
Are you sure you work at FedEx?
