The beating ruined his career and life. The union didn't apologize to him. After that, I said screw the union; family first. I don't put any truck driver above my family. I don't give a #### what the other drivers think of me.CruiseRed, Gearjammin' Penguin and LtlAnonymous Thank this. -
Call the hall and ask for the Ba's phone number. He/she will help you decide which union company is hiring and which company will be right fit.

i also do not respect any union that strikes and violence erupts.
however, i'd not want a scab worker, working along side with me either.
they either join or get the hell out. -
Scab drivers didn't affect my pay or benefits, so I didn't care.
It's enough responsibility taking care of my own life and family without wasting my time thinking about what another driver is doing. -

I drove for Caremark here in North Carolina for a few weeks with a temp service. Nice people and a good job, but the hours are horrendous. 2-230 am leaving terminal and delivering to 15-20 gas stations before a return trip. Usually two maybe three loads a week. Good money but unloading a 53' reefer trailer mostly by your self is brutal. 8-10 pallets of bottled water, totes for days, and 30 cases of smokes and dip wast a accounting nightmare with a hand truck. Made really good paychecks, but I am just to old for the manual labor. Younger guys there, that had the same routes all the time loved it.

I was also union for years in Charlotte NC. When it became a contest to screw over other workers at terminals, union or otherwise, I left. I was over half way up the seniority list..
If I was willing to put up with that I'd just go run heavy equipment and make more than a linehaul or p&d driver, or go back to contracting.. Too many ways to make money to be walking on eggshells..Last edited: Aug 10, 2022
