nonunion jobs

The companies that are worth working for will look at your work and driving record, not the fact that your former employer had union employees. If they ask you tell them you are there to work hard, not organize. Old Dominion, Fed Ex Freight, Con Way Freight and Walmart all have hired many former Union drivers, since they value safe drivers with long stable work history's and millions of safe miles!

 

There are a lot of former union employees at the Con-way terminals I've worked for including my current one. Never seemed to be an issue as far as I can see.

 

You do understand that the top non union jobs like Wal*Mart, FedEx Freight, Con-way Freight, and OD operate by seniority boards. It's part of the deal. I've only seen it skirted when someone bids a run they simply can't do a few months into the bid.

 

he doesn't realize he is moving up the load board because he is at the starting rate, saving the company money.....


He will realize this as soon as he is the "guy who doesn't want to work", getting screwed out of work, because he is at top rate. I guess some people have to learn the hard way....

 

Union or Non-union, there are Slackers with both! In my case I'm nearing a Nice Union retirement with US Foods, I average a $100,000 a Year, Paid Health Benefits for me and my Wife, 5 weeks vacation a Year, sick days, floating holidays, home every night! You can say what you want about Unions and a lot of it is True but in my case I would never work Non-Unioin again! Foodservice is one of the Hardest and most Physical Jobs in Trucking,if you are a Slacker you will NOT last! most, not all OTR Drivers couldn't handle this Job!

 

speak for yourself, i deliver milk and im constantly getting held up by US food drivers, agar, etc. they all seem to walk very slow and work slow havent met one fast paced guy. then they will go off and do whatever it is they do and clog the docks up for half an hour. pisses me off to no end, if i didnt care about causing a scene id drive their truck right down the road and not say a word to anyone.

 

So all US Foods Drivers are Slackers because of one Driver, pretty broad brush your using guy!

 

Urghh... There goes the thread.

If you guys want to duke it out, TTR has a union discussion folder already established (password: thickskin). Let's stay on topic and keep this thread informative.

 

thats why i said speak for yourself, if you're not one of the multiple idiots that jam me up thank you! but i have met quite a few different drivers, over a dozen with agar alone and not one of them ever seemed to move quick at all, and the same goes for the US food truck drivers. i dont care what someone does, go slow, drag your feet, but i get pissed off when im sitting for a dock for 25 minutes because they have a whopping 7 pallets to take off, then they shut the over head door and go inside the store for another 10 minutes. one guy even comes out to his truck and sits in it for however long staring at his phone and reading the paper.

 

im not duking it out with anyone, this isnt anti union or pro union i dont give a crap what you do. but he is going to post about how hard working these food service truck drivers are and im constantly getting held up because they move as quick as grass growing.
