Much cheaper than New Jersey:

Retire Overseas

If the CSPF is in such great shape financially why would UPS offer to pay 3.6 billion dollars to get out. And why would ABF offer to pay 650 million dollars to do the same.
NOW........I know the head honchos at UPS and ABF are reading my posts and wondering why all their employees could not be as rational as me.
I think that I have the solution for the CEO of UPS and ABF. Instead of spending all that money to fix the CSPF, they should buy every retiree in ALL their pension plans a subscription to the link above and this way they could all sell their homes and move to some place much nicer where they can live with maid service.

How to enjoy a million-dollar retirement---without touching your savings.
Where you can enjoy free medical and dental care.
Learn how to double your retirement resources---and live as though you had twice the income.
Cut your grocery bills by more than 30%.
Nine countries where you can retire in comfort and style on $1,000 per month, including a nice home, groceries, utilities, country club dues, even entertainment and travel.
Where you can find dinner for two at an excellent restaurant for $15, including wine.
Where health care is very inexpensive...an eye examination costs less than $10, and you can have a cavity filled for $15 to $25...and in one of the places we have in mind membership in the national health care system is as little as $40 a year.
Where you can take a taxi across town for $1.50...get a sandwich and a coke for $2 ...and catch a first-run movie for $3.

Dang it River! You let the cat out of the bag! I was waiting for all the Mexicans to come up here before I made my exodus, and have the whole place to myself... Now I'm gonna have neighbors... Gracias!

Maybe we can get Jeff to organize one of those "cruises to paradise" for all the members of truckingboards that want to go there and check it out.
We could even have speakers giving seminars on the cruise to explain how it all works.

I would have to disagree with one statement u made FM, U see, the percentage of FXFE employees that read this fine and informational site is minimal therefore you cannot use the "most FXFE" in your reply, If I had to guess I would say less that 0.5% so your statement is inaccurate. @ my barn in the NE region 97% of drivers both shuttle and city are unhappy with the way things are, there if forced OT, non recognition of seniority, favortism and much more. has there been talk of a union, why sure there has, most @ my barn feel the main reason for it is for job security as we have had several drivers let go over the past 2yrs, a couple were legit while others we feel were not.

We used to own Coles Express before they were merged into Viking Freight. They were not happy campers from what I heard.
Folks in the Northeast are a hard bunch to please. Seems like many carriers have gone broke trying.
