Con-way/LTL loads

ABF - only company I have never heard a bad word about from anyone. The company is seeking concessions though.

The stock market is on sale right now. Think about your logic, do you want to buy a house in a booming market? My 401K had doubled since March when our stock hit bottom. The company still contributes 3% and I contribute 6% - the match will return in October and it will be 100% of 6%. I know nothing about our pension because I've only been here 6 years and am not vested.

True, FedEx didn't lease one they built a new one in Hagerstown, Md to accommodate the sub-service. I'm not sure if that is a TLI, US Express, or FedEx Freight terminal. A good friend of mine that works at FedEx Freight says they put the Ex in US Express..lol..

"Maybe mine but not yours"..

Better hope they never go to one board. You have 5 years listed and I hope that is all with FedEx Freight. My buddy at FedEx is a road driver with 10 years in at a terminal very very close to you and he is now second from the bottom on the road board. He stated that drivers with 7 years at his barn are either on the bottom of the dock or laid off. I have 6 years at Con-way and sit in the low 60's out of about 110 on one board.

I'm sure you'll come back with something off the wall comparing us to Swift, but in reality, I'll take a 5% cut for a year to keep an 80+K per year job. The way to get the 5% back is clearly spelled out and we are halfway there. The company is setting records and turning a profit - they know freight, that's all we do. I'll take my chances here - I'd bet my 85K this year (even with that 5% pay-cut) that Con-way will come out of this economic crisis better than any other LTL company. I have my issues with this company but I would not want to drive for anyone else right now. I'm gonna bid a long run next year and will break 90K without the 5% returning, which it will in March, so I'll break 95K driving a truck. The Swift of LTL huh...

Paddington, I know a lot of good people at FedEx Freight and hope you all pull through this with no more cuts. My good friend is really worried about his job at this point with over 10 years in. You and I both know all good LTL jobs are in Jeopardy because people will work for nothing.

Good luck Paddington. I really do wish you the best despite what you say about me and the company I work for.
