I don't have a problem with this @ all. They had a hard time keeping drivers in 1999 for $15 an hour up here in the northeast. Times are hard now with the economy. Most of our big accounts probably aren't even paying our fuel surcharge. As fast as they have been growing the past 10 years with buying property to build us "Castles" for terminals, new equipment, $ for our 401k's & our health coverage their overhead is threw the the roof. I believe they are just tryin' to ride the storm. The Robert's have worked too hard to end up like Jevic. Anyone that's been with the company long enough will know that they take care of their drivers and this has worked in the past.
