A good portion of these trades are iether union or contractor, Trucking has lost the union scince deregulation, and until they gain some ground in the industry again, things will stay the same ,essentially in limbo.

I am not promoting the union in this forum, but speaking mearly the truth. No regulation means, lower wages and bennies in comparison to the trades you have mentioned.

Have something go wrong though and all of a sudden you're not their hero anymore,will they pay that ticket for you or forget about the accident you might have.?? Guys ,please, YOU set the pace not management.!! remember that the picture on that drivers license is yours, you can't blame your super for anything you get on it!! Your next employer won't care that you went down the restricted road and got a fine because you were trying to help save the company the extra five mile detour.

That' right. You can't cash in enough atta boys to cover an aw $#!t.

I only get 3 weeks of vacation, and next year I will only get 4weeks. I am going to go ahead and stay at the Daytona Resort next month with my family before I quit. I am sure that by staying there for FREE, that somehow R&L is screwing me... Oh yeah, when I stayed at the resort in Fort Meyers, FL last year for FREE, they screwed me then also... I guess that since I am treated decent, that really, I am getting screwed and just don't know it... I wonder if ABF is hiring, maybe just maybe they would hire me and then I could work for a quality outfit with superior wages and benefits....$23.47 just is substandard...Man, how could I have been so stupid all these years working for the Roberts ? All these years I thought they were good people to work for... I have been mislead...Thanks to all the drivers who have helped straiten me out...

How's that overtime working for ya!
