    The only thing that starts more foolish arguments than politics is union vs. non union.
    Both of you knock it off, okay?

    Which would explain why they are hiring a massive amount of new drivers...

    Part of the reason is Walmart is taking over all shipments out of some of the grocery warehouses, kicking out the carriers that were contracted.

    When two people go so far off topic that their argument hijacks the thread it becomes something more than mere discussion.
    Allowing petty displays of pique to continue to the detriment of the thread defeats the purpose of having a forum.

    Dues at UPS are 2.5 hours a month. So @11 it would be 27.50/month...not much at all.

    There have been a bunch of swift daycabs running around here lately pulling Walmart trailers. I got a chuckle out of one of them because it had the "drive for Walmart" sticker with phone number on it. I know swift has pulled for them for a while but this daycab stuff is new to me (maybe I just never noticed?), I wonder if that's cutting into the company drivers a lot because I never noticed a Walmart daycab before, just sleepers.

    I got a few calls from Swift wanting me to come over to their Sparks Walmart DC crew but I have just had enough of chaining both directions on Donner Pass.
