YRC, Southeastern or RL Carriers

But you might have to keep putting new tires on your car if you make that choice. I sure wouldn't work in a union shop and do that. They call that "freeloading." Some politicians call that "right to work." For all intents and purposes, UPS Freight is a union company. Now there is UPSF Truckload, which is non-union, non-LTL, and also doesn't pay the same.

 

They don' have any new equipment .No money

 

some terminals do.

 

Starting pay at YRC last year was $18.51/hr. They get a cost of living raise every April so it would be a little higher now. Equipment is junk. R & L Carriers will work you to death. Not much family time.

 

Nobody cares if you freeload or not, you don't have to join, teamsters still have to represent you, and you get charged a service fee which usually is one cent less than dues.

 

That's hilarious. So is it everything but the pension for a penny less? Or is it everything (minus the union t-shirts and patches)?

What's the point? Political purity for a driver who hates Democrats? I don't get it.

 

The point is that nobody cares if you are a freeloader, nobody cares that you put shrimp in your wife's purse at the Chinese buffet, if you don't want to join don't nobody's world will change.

 

Interesting. Well, I wouldn't exactly call it freeloading if they're essentially paying dues by another name. Sounds like the union found a way around that problem. The idea was originally meant to starve the unions of dues to hasten their demise.
