My Experience with UPSF

Every time you mention Corn Flakes you must accompany it by saying "may it rest in peace"

 

Yeah I guess I can't say it's like CF, may it RIP, they were in a league of their own. We were downright spoiled there! Even YRC was almost that good until 2007. Reddaway is all right but the pay isn't there. I still make good money, actually really good money but I just work longer for it. I would like tho have the pension though and really miss being a member of the Master Freight Agreement. I guess all good things come to an end. "Corn Flake" .

Hope it picks back up for you ACH hasn't really slowed down too much for me this year and has already picked back up. Atleast you're renting from your dad, can't go wrong there.

 

It will probably take a few decades for the rest of the industry to catch up with CF's payscale. Although they might just keep it at 30 cpm for traditional purposes.

 

I don't even remember what Corn Flakes pay scale was? I think I was making 47 cpm but I don't remember the hourly, maybe 22 an hour and that was in 1999!!! Had a killer pension and benefits too! Remember the swinging bunks? I ran teams there and some of the old timers I would run with made swinging bunks in the sleeper. Those were good times. As soon as CF, Watkins, Overnight and Motor Cargo went down or got bought out it was all over. Out on the west coast anyway. We used to have Viking Freight and they were really good too. Trucking industry has been downhill since, according to many others long before that.

 

I wish we were all in the Master Freight Agreement. I fear those days are long gone.

 

No work again? A little snow and they call you off, bunch of wuss pies over there or what? We had 50mph winds yesterday, only got stuck once here.
