    Truckers are a lonely life so it is good to have an out. This gives a lot of us a place to share life with people that can understand what they are going through. This is one of the reasons I enjoy coming on this site so much. Life is hard enough when you keep it to yourself so having an outlet sometimes can help a person get through it.

    I watched a video of a fella going off on management claiming he wasn't getting his pension after 30 years of service with them? It was on the Asian Mia youtube channel?

    I saw the same video. Not going to post it cause of the TTR policy on language. But he lost his crap cause he got shafted after 30+ years. It's painful to.watch.

    I think he was confused when told that yellow didn't make that months contribution into the fund. As long as central states is funded the pension should be fine. I would advise to take the lump some and invest it in something else if that was a option but thats just me.

    @MACK E-6 should I take that video down because of a little foul language or keep it up?

    I didn’t watch the whole thing, but in what I did see it sounded like all the bad words were bleeped out, so it should be ok.

    @road_runner

    Have you thought of maybe giving XPO a look? I know we’re not union, but offer too pay and day one benefits.

    might be worth a shot.

    Stay with us here, and enjoy the fun!!

    Maybe not directly to the pension, but they still pay dues to the union.
