    My former team driver made $130,000 last year on 60 hours a week with a high school diploma in Parcel. How bad is their contract? Who has a better contract in trucking?

    Holy crap!!! This is crazy!!! I remember the hesitation I had when making the decision to leave after the contract was rammed through. I'm glad my assessment of the company was accurate and that I went on to greener pastures when I did.

    I feel bad for those guys that were there thinking they had it made. Friggin stinks. Alot of those guys were top dogs for seniority and now will have to go to other outfits at bottom of the heap again. Since they're being bought out, I wonder if the contract will still be honored, or if it becomes null and void. If so, will guys get severance packages??? Or just be told this is their new pay scale, take it or leave it.

    Just crazy.

    The new company has to honor the contract. And from what I been hearing they intend on keeping everyone and continue to negotiate with the union for future contracts.

    Not like they'd replace all those $34 hour guys with $17 hour immigrants from Canada.

    That would be un-American.

    Five days after that bad, evil President left office.

    You're obviously still new. You gotta put in your time and earn some wiskers to make the big bucks. We've all been through it.
