Con-way freight ltl memphis tn

Amen @HalpinUout !

 

Hey Bud,

You can bleed your undies white and blue until the end, but for me I have a different opinion... I worked for both truckload and freight... I wouldn't apply my services again to neither... If I had to choose one before the other it would be truckload but ask any ( if any left ) of the truckload guys and they will tell you PRE Conway when CFI owned them it was the best company you could work for... As soon as Conway bought them out it was a complete sell out to the drivers... CF in the LTL business was downed by Freight and now look same thing... So many freight drivers are not happy its unreal...

If I remember you posting the earnings you made from around 300 or so working days for truckload was 50k take, how is that good?

 

They could pay me 30 bucks and hour...no way in hell would I work a dock. Just boring as hell to me...

 

LOL... Maybe when you retire those might be the wages...

 

Well, we weren't talking about Truckload, this thread is about Freight!

I never said that Truckload pays union wages, it's FREIGHT that claims to pay union wages and it's FREIGHT that the teamsters are trying to unionize, NOT TRUCKLOAD.

You're conflating two different threads! THIS one is about FREIGHT!

 

BTW, this is not the 1920s!

Companies are not abusing employees like they were when the unions were born and useful.

Today, if you don't like the pay and benefits at one company, then find one better and go to work for them; that is unless it's a union shop, then you can't go there until you join their uníon and pay the union bosses their dues.

If you're so weak that you can't stand up for yourself or not good enough to get a better job somewhere else on your own merits, then I guess you need that union "protection", so sign up and pay those dues.

 

Ok, Well I was elaborating... Your previous post said freight was bought out by XPO so don't wack the willy to quick... Same company is involved my friend... Am I wrong?

 

I don't know about you but abuse can take many forms. Like paying professionals...in this case drivers...crap wages with crap benefits.
Not that I am a big union guy but the industry does need change and not the usual company verbal masturbation that is getting good drivers no where.
Ask yourself "Where would America be without truckers?"
We should get the wages and respect we are due....those who deserve it that is.

 

It's true that XPO is buying all of Con-way (Menlo, Freight, Truckload, Manufacturing), but the deal hasn't closed yet (scheduled to close in Oct) and thus has had ZERO impact on pay and benefits thus far.

I thought that was obvious!

There I go assuming that I'm involved in a conversation with those sophisticated enough to have even a modicum of knowledge about business.

My bad!

 

The unions sure did wonders for the American car industry, huh?

So, if you think you're being abused and can't do anything about it, then go join the Teamsters and get a union job! Nobody's stopping you.

Oh wait! There maybe someone stopping you, the union itself!
