Excactly, Overnite made the point of, Overnite had a safety program so they kept it. But on the other hand MC had driver pay for delay, but that is no more. UPS gets delay. But "O" is calling the shots here. Havent seen UPS step in and make this a profitable venture yet.

It's profitable for UPS.

It's profitable for UPS. Do you actually believe that the richmond boys are calling ANY shots without Atlanta's approval ? If you think that you,my friend,are very naive.

I understand perfectly. Mc was forced to go to "O"'s way of screwing, i mean doing things. We had delay pay , but since overnite did not now we dont as well, but the same thing did not apply to the safety bonus. We dont get it so they shouldnt either.

This is where you boys from M/C need to understand that you were not the only ones getting screwed by big brown. It's not "O" any more either...I wish it was...working for "O" was a lot more fun and a lot less hassle. We ALL work for UPS now...whether we like it on NOT ! Please see my previous post

Your kidding, right? The very second richmond started calling the shots, line drivers started staying home in favor of contractors with our pups, or long boxs full of our freight. And customers went to other carriers en-mas, because a once two day lane went to 4 or 5. We had drivers told to their face that if your MC, " we dont need you, you'll work when we let you". I cant and wont believe UPS would totally screw up the line haul lanes. UPS package runs our lane day and nnight, trailer after trailer. but when "O" took over, the MC/O trailers went bye-bye. Now, tell me UPS would knowingly waste money.

Yup Val, we got our checks yesterday. They were real checks. My question is there was nothing said about the safety bonus in regards to next year in ole Gordies letter. I wonder if that went by the wayside?

What kind of bonus do you recieve? Is it in monetary form or stock? I know Ive spoke with a RW driver once and they recieve stock for a safety bonus. Said he was sitting pretty when Yellow corp bought them.
Also, is the amount based on years? We only recieve "gifts" for a safety bonus that we pick out of a catalog. The more years the better the gift.

At top pay its $275.00 before taxes for one full year with out a chargeable accident. But I can see the stock bonus happening in the future as UPS did the same with our 401k match. "O" gave us 0.50 cents to every dollar for a match. UPS gives us the same amount but in stock.

According to some of the brownies I have talked to,they waste it all the time. As far as the contractors...They do it at my barn and I work at a Major Hub Facility. We have drivers sitting at home at least one night a week. There is no reason for that. Yes,I believe Atlanta knows every detail as UPS loves to micro-manage everything. If you owned two or three businesses,would you always have the final say so over what goes on ?
