TForce | How many UPS Freight employees are there?

2018 you guys need bargain for percentage cap on your PT loads. They are rerouting loads to keep your guys at home and truckload ***** moving freight. Remember always protect your work. Look at package they don't use them til Xmas time.
UPS Freight is running ads in national markets for owner operators. Every terminal has cut runs and given the runs to outside carriers while the drivers paying union dues are forced to sit at home, even though they are guaranteed work in their classification per Art 44. sect A. ( page 90 ). The international union is not enforcing this language so why do they continue to collect dues? The percentage of freight on rails and outside carriers is now at a staggering 55%. Why are we not outside the gate taking a stand? UPS has shown their plans for future business practice and bargaining unit road drivers are not in the picture.

It was mentioned years ago that UPS Freight would slowly kill the majority of road driver side of things.
One reason being all the empty miles. It's going to be interesting how this evolves.

No surprise at all. It's happening to the whole industry...
 
Linehaul is any freight company biggest cost. You guys gotta stick together when it comes to eliminating majority of PT and owner ops moving guy your work. Sorry they may lose out on jobs, but teamsters come 1st.
