    Hey guys. I've been driving since 2009. I did otr from 09 to 2012. I ended up getting a job in the teamsters running local. It's a great job but I got layer off. So I'm back doing otr. I'm based out of corona ca about 15 minutes south of Fontana.
    Not happy with the otr company I'm with now. Can anyone recommend some good otr companies that do not have forced dispatch? Thanks guys and stay safe

    Believe it or not no. I thought for sure when we got layer off our union rep would come. In and advise us about othe Union opportunitys. Didn't happen. Not mention our local is supposed to be very strong.

    Yeah, unions are right there when it's time to collect dues, but when you need them, not so much.

    Unless you have a discrimination or other headline grabbing case.....

    If the teamster goes outside of union doesn't he lose membership/privileges?
