Yellow, and now also Sygma.

and if you made the cut - and waited it out you would have had many years of great pay and bennies...

and grandfathered into one of the other freight lines when they went under...

how long were you with CF?

most guys are "absorbed" into the fold after a few months.

 

I worked for them for abut a 1yr. It was a second job for me. Me and the supervisor didn't get along,especially after he called my wife one night yelling at her about me not bieng there. The thing was if he just looked he would have seen me there all night.. She was so upset, she called the police, local hospitals, looking to see if I was involved in a accident.. So the next night me and him got into it about him yelling at my wife.. We were toe to toe, and he almost landed on the floor, so I just quit, and he fired me as well..

 

sooooooo you threw away a good job over a conflict...


I do not thk that is grounds to dammmmn a new guy looking at the job as an option.

conflicts like that could have happened ANYWHERE..

as for that supervisor - there was a mechanism in place to take care of that problem -

instead of quiting or being a hot head you HAVE to use that mechanism.

 

do what you feel is best - but at age 40 - your back will thank you if you go freight!!


I have known many guys who ran foodservice and the ones who started in their early 20's have all moved on by age 40 due to the physical stress.

I have got myself settled into an "old mans" job - and enjoy not having to pop pain releivers every 4 hours!

 

I was young and stupid I know, because what I took home for 24hrs week was the same as 40hr wk, at my other job.. If I had known that my union on my full time job, was the same local as this part time job, I would have been able to get help I'm sure..

 

kilroy2963, So how did it go? I'm close to being in your shoes. Grad SAGE in a couple of weeks, but I have 6 years CDL driving mixers. Lots of jobs around here, but great paying jobs in the oil fields driving tanker/water, like 90,000+. Hard work and long hours, and I'm not as young as I once was. Food companies always hiring around here (US Foods, SYSCO, Mile Hi (McD's), Dominoes Pizza) and have good pay and really nice rigs. BUT, union bennies and pay, hours of service, rules the companies actually have to abide by, working hard but not killing yourself. Your a couple of years younger than me, and I'm sure that somewhere before you went for pay over job, and ended up kicking yourself. Anyhow, hope it all works out for you.
