The results from a survey conducted by Patel Information Systems,of 12 So Cal terminals,found the biggest issue was driver break room areas were insufficient in size,especially when visited by a driver wearing, The Hat...
To answer the original post, I have asked Vanguard about several options and they say it's up to our leadership to change it but will pass the info along to them, yea right.Why is it that we don't have that option?
Actually having a real Stock Purchase Benefit would be a welcome improvement. Our current "benefit" is no brokerage fee. The value of that is just above zero, as brokerage fees per trade are $5-$7.

One thing not mentioned in quite some time would be a 5th vacation week.
Yeah, it has a cost and would only benefit those with significant time in. But is also provides another "hook" to keep veterans from jumping ship, only to start over elsewhere with only 1 or 2 weeks.
Newer hires probably don't think much about it, so it may lack the mass appeal of the other perks.
What's interesting is I came from Express. Started in 01. Express employees back then got up to 5 wks after 15yrs if I remember correctly.
Couple of drivers I've known my whole career that came from Express lost their 5 wk. I mean we were diffent companies and separate from each other but now we're whole I would curious if they still get 5.
Start a union push again and it may happen. Otherwise Fred has no reason to just give it away
My main thing would be stop the over hiring nonsense. Bottom GPD getting 40 hrs a week whole year is a little over 57k. That is pathetic pay for a truck driver these days. Increase in 401k would be great, but let's be realistic doubt they are going to do anything with it. At least give city drivers the chance to make decent money (ot) so we can put more in our 401.

I can't say you are wrong... BUT it's the ONLY time they ask the question(s). Those who pay attention must speak up, to make up for those who say nothing (when it counts).Anything that involves an increase in spending will be a non-starter and frankly ignored IMHO. But best of luck anyway...
One bump in this economy and you'll see a slew of drivers from every LTL hit the street looking 4 work. All these LTL's over hired
Just get someone pregnant and instantly two extra paid weeks off. I dont agree with this but it is what it is.
Yep, at time of birth two weeks paid time off to be with the child. So if you only have a year company time and a young person, you could swing 3 weeks vacation for a few years.Getting someone pregnant or the 2 weeks off?

Even a adoption I believe you also get two weeks paid time off

1. More $$$ now. COL on all pay scales.Yeah, but 4 would have been too easy. Forces us to think about it. I wonder the result if we could only pick 2.
