Don't know how I'm included in that " collective" when my employment here only spans a few months.
I will also add that changing circumstances lead to changing opinions. Maybe everybody thought it wasn't necessary 2 years ago, but things aren't the way they were back then (so I'm told).
It's not necessary to draw a line in the sand against those that disagreed with you some time ago. If they're in agreement now unite and make your voices and concerns heard. Drivers know drivers from everywhere across the country. Corporate doesn't know anybody and only communicate via video. Them talking at us.
I stay at domicile, but you folks going from center to center are our best assets. Link up with other drivers, exchange information and see what comes of it.
