So we shouldn't even try to do better by our people because others have it worse.

How are you going to do better than this job?
You're paid for everything here.
Late freight? You're paid to wait.
Paid for breakdowns.
Paid for weather, traffic, etc.
Paid to sleep in a damn motel.
I mean, c'mon how bad is it?

Well .... some real facts here
I'm not paid for everything ...here
On the late freight the only way I get paid is work the dock
I'm not paid extra for the weather ..I have to drive in the snow and wind and rain .. I only get paid for sitting if the road is shut down. Most of the time it is not.
I have never been paid to sleep in a motel, and back when we did laydown runs ...I bought my own food
How bad is it ... well I think its pretty good , but I have had to dig ditches, hang live turkeys in a turkey killing plant, .. and work 100 hours a week at 2 jobs to pay the bills .. before this job
But like Franklin is saying ... once I am getting paid for something ...don't try to take it away ...
