UPSF Being Sold!!

Walked in for the P&D interview and walked right out when they offered me $17.50 hr and I had to be clean shaven.

 

Not sure. Will update as soon as i learn more. i may end up doing something else like back to otr irregardless.

 

It said in the story I read that they barely broke even in a year that saw all time highs on package deliveries. Another company the greedy union ruined and made unprofitable.
I was wondering in the last few weeks around my house why two different UPS terminals were advertising for drivers, which is usually unheard of.

 

UPS is a billion dollar company I believe they made 2 billion last quarter. I don't think the union is the greedy one here. Starting wages at UPS is 21 dollars an hour. If the union was greedy or at least had a spine they would of had everyone being paid the same rate as the highest paying driver. If you look at some of their other contracts with other carriers the members are making less or equal pay as the non unions.

 

Agree.

UPS has a very weak driver's union and it amazes me at what little they settle for each time their contract comes up.

 

It's that and it is also the senior drivers that say "well I only need 3 years till I can retire so I don't care what happens as long as it doesn't effect my pension" or it's the company man type that goes out of their way and think the company has their best interest, or the "I cant lost this job because where else am I going to go and I don't want to start at the bottom" type but what it really comes down to is lazy union leaders who try to encourage members to vote yes on crappy contracts to begin with. Every BA is overweight at my local and their is a reason for that.

 

As TFI has no other LTL carrier in US I think rationalisation move will be limited but the TST Overland/SAIA partnership has no future

 

I think you are confusing freight and small package.
UPS small package makes a killing along with the highest wages and best benefits in the industry.
