I've never been for or against unions .....i see both sides of the coin ,but with the cost of healthcare ,cost of living and the fact i see my career is being destroyed ,it's time to find higher ground .....i know LTL is well kept secret
Shaggy Thanks this. -
LTL is a great choice and UPSF is very good as well. I just wanted to throw something else out there because no one really mentions this but have you considered maybe a Air Products, Linde, or Praxair. They are all union with good benefits and pension. You won't be working the dock with Cryogenic hauling. Best of all these companies are not going out of business at all. Just figured with all the experience you have it would certainly not hurt to give them a shot as well.already gone Thanks this.

Thnx midwest ...i haven't heard of these companies but i will definitely check into this , yes the best part is they will stay in business is a big plus for us old guys
-
Those places I mentioned above pay as much or more than LTL.
-
That's worth a shot , im getting too old for fly by night outfits , i wish i had applied at more prime jobs 10yrs ago ,
....my best advice to younger drivers : RESEARCH & APPLY AT PRIME COMPANIES ONLYFlybynight041 Thanks this. -
That terminal is Freight side of UPS. Heres the deal with them, you start out fairly low on the pay scale, if you can hang in there for the 3 years to top out you'll be golden. The new contract isn't the best in the world but I haven't seen any LTL company making what we do. PM me if you have any questions
already gone, Midwesttrucker and superflow Thank this. -
yeah, you guys are the highest paid drivers in freight right now...
superflow Thanks this. -
...thanks hammer , there seems to be alot of messed up contracts , at all the LTL carriers , talked to Holland drivers& YRC drivers and i keep hearing about this , so i take it we are still under concessions from the great recession of 08 ? .....that's what the Chrysler drivers are saying about their two tear contractchaz7r Thanks this.

I wouldn't say we got a messed up contract per say but it could have been on par with the Package side of the house. 70 some odd cents per mile by the end of it isn't too shabby.
