You go ahead and cite some good sources of the union doing something positive in the ltl industry in the last 20 years. You want to tout the union, prove their worth.oh ok. keep drinking the kool aid with the hotdog flavored ice cubes, with a stale bun.
Or myself. All the focus on mental health these days. Should be excused for self medication. Or from previous days over medication.Take the point for family .

not taking sides but i know a couple guys that worked union and they allow a much smaller percentage of freight to be shipped PT in union companiesVisitor. Think all union LTL’s allow a % of PT.
or YRC since they are government backed now and you knkw they will keep bailing them outOn a cold day in the depths of hell.
Would rather stand on the unemployment line than be a teamster. If I wanted that I would've got on with Holland, ABF, or UPS or whoever else they're mooching off of these days.
I’s just sayin. Fudge brought the pro union. We use too much PT as well.not taking sides but i know a couple guys that worked union and they allow a much smaller percentage of freight to be shipped PT in union companies
They have for years. PT, I am sure contracts with LTL’s for year round work, not just when busy. And now with rates falling, PT is cheaper than they can run a company truck, and driver.Visitor. Think all union LTL’s allow a % of PT.
Always cheaper without mirror allowance on 294.They have for years. PT, I am sure contracts with LTL’s for year round work, not just when busy. And now with rates falling, PT is cheaper than they can run a company truck, and driver.
PT drivers carry more spare mirrors than I do.Always cheaper without mirror allowance on 294.
It’s a reflection of the times we are inPT drivers carry more spare mirrors than I do.
I know many of those PR guys have been on a long streak of bad luckIt’s a reflection of the times we are in
Packerfan , ease up on this crap . Don't you think the folks here are worried and feeling bad enough ? Stop rubbing it in , you got a good job now so just stop grinding your axe on the members here . I'm thinking you better get a hot dog and relax man . Let this be man....nobody would be sitting at home if they stopped contracting your work out.
Correct. FedEx surpasses that % in the first monthVisitor. Think all union LTL’s allow a % of PT.
I recall on one of the union company forums the drivers complaining because the company was using purchase transportation and the union was doing nothing to stop it. Something about the contract saying they can only use it for a certain percentage of runs, but they were using it way more than what was agreed on.nobody would be sitting at home if they stopped contracting your work out.
Don't know what specific place you're referring to but grievences have been filed for abuse of PT use and drivers hurt have been paid.I recall on one of the union company forums the drivers complaining because the company was using purchase transportation and the union was doing nothing to stop it.

I’d love to know specifics. I’ve filled before and was told we aren’t allowed to file on PT.Don't know what specific place you're referring to but grievences have been filed for abuse of PT use and drivers hurt have been paid.
Had a FXLH driver call me last week asking if we are hiring because he’s not getting enough work. On the younger side with a family to provide for. Likes FXF but needs a minimum guaranteed each week. How many more are in his situation? LTL needs to restructure and rethink its manpower supply. Y’all will probably lose this driver and he won’t be interested in returning without some sort of guaranteed minimum. The fix I think is two-fold:
Every ltl provide drivers with a safety net of maybe $1100 per week
Pay for it by increasing rates industry wide. LTL profit margins are too small and this gets exposed during a recession by causing companies to fail
