I would be out the door in a heartbeat for union benes but the closest union barn is 77 miles in one direction and 85 miles in the other direction .
well then move. Lots of people move to improve there lifes and careers. I sure most of your managers have mve around to get were they are. I know my TM has
 
you just said that a 2M mile driver with 24 yrs should get special consideration on discipline. You didn't just say it once you said it twice, Post 7797, and 7835. So how can you say you want rules to be fair when you push for special treatment of some.
We have had guys I my barn caught with there cellphone in there hand and they are still here. The is more to this then just one event.

I am sure there is. Fair doesn't mean "rules written in blood". Fair sometimes means people get treated differently. A man plans to murder his wife. Buys a gun and a shovel, goes home and shoots her in the head. A second guy takes his wife hunting. He drops his gun, it goes off and kills his wife. Both women are dead at the hands of their husbands, but will be treated differently in a court of law. That's what fair means sometimes.

Run one of the shortest runs out of my barn under 90 miles one way and I made just over 84k last year. I know the guys running the longer runs are making mid to upper 90K with some doing over 100K last year. It's not hard to do on LH

I'm guessing you spend some time on the dock. Still 84K is nothing to sneeze at.
 
How afraid do you think the company is about 6 terminals attempting to negotiate a contract? That's like handing your friend a baseball bat and telling him you'll join the fight AFTER he beats the 10 guys coming at him with AR 15's. I'll return to my original analogy...What would have happened if 12 of the 13 colonies stood by to see what happens in Massachusetts. You said that you know how much we have lost yet, you don't want to do anything to get it back.
Your making an ass out of U and me. You don't think I talk to drivers and dock workers at my terminal? You don't think I have my finger on the pulse of my terminal? You want more terminals to organize then show some benefits of organizing. Talk is cheap.

Not always such an easy choice when you have people that depend on you. See my previous post about mortgage, utilities, food in the fridge, shoes on there feet etc.
 
This should be unsettling, at the very least. For all of us "good drivers" out there, you could be one minor mistake from termination. It's solely at their discretion.

This is why I want out of ltl. No job security. Work at will means exactly that

It’s been bad but getting worse with the advent of new technology in this industry.

Working on it. It's not easy to hire on with whom your talking about off the street. If I get that call though I am out of here.
 
Does 420 acres get you total privacy i ask because i visit friends with 80 acres and thats still in view of next farmhouse
Hi , no I am afraid it doesn’t . Pretty quiet road for the most part but I may build a new house with a long driveway for more privacy . Some in the area are at the end of a dead end road which of course is about as private as your going to get .

Ok i figured farmland would be a few thousand acres for privacy and pay someone to do the heavy work so you can retire in one piece
