Fair weathered employees are like fair weathered fans, it's hard to keep one's interest when you're rooting for the loosing side. .lol
AND only pay 125 a week for family insurance plan?

You must be a new employee. Because at one time we made more than any non-union carrier ever thought of making answer me that with your insurance

Maybe this contract time instead of YRC putting a bid in for ABF right after the contract ratified. They put a bid in for XPO you can pay their insurance

Fedex Freight is at $28.83 now. We get our raise in October. Our last 2 raises were $1.00 and $1.10. Assuming a similar increase in October we should be around $30.00 per hour.

I have to ask this: How much do you pay weekly for your family's entire health, dental and vision insurance? And what is your TOTAL out-of-pocket expense for deductables, fees and non covered items?
I've heard as high as $7,000/year?

It should be very obvious that the non-union carriers pay better wages and a better overall compensation package. It’s like comparing apples and oranges though. Unionized carriers are not hired “at will” and can’t be fired for just any reason. They are for the most part treated like men and not like a piece of garbage. They have more job security and their healthcare is free. Does that offset the inequities? For many it does. Just saying it’s not always about the money! For some it’s about pride and self respect.

We all know it's a shell game with them. I just want to see some numbers.
And you're right about being treated like a man.

I think they finance their own?

The pension is not a selling point these days. Far too much uncertainty. But the rest I have spoken of in my previous post on this thread is enough in itself to offset the difference. IMO!
Correct me if I'm wrong, yes better wages but not necessarily better overall compensation when health/retirement is considered.

At SAIA it was $12 weekly for healthcare (single) $35 family... Damn good and better than most. 401K match. 2 weeks vacation after one year. Paid jury duty for however long in takes. Top pay close to 30hr. Look, I’m not trying to be confrontational. The non-union carriers compensation packages for the most part are better in the final analysis. The point I’m trying to make is it’s worth it to make a little less to have job security and self respect. That does not exist at any non-union carrier.

The pension has too much uncertainty. Especially those in Central States... It can’t be factored like it once was.

Exactly! It’s not being hired “at will” that’s the biggest selling point.
if you add the health care in, were ahead of most non union lt company's and cant be fired at wil….l of a power crazy tm
Husband wife teams as independent contractors were popular in the 30’s.
I made a lot of money as an independent.
