Driving for Pepsi

Bullet, what does paying into my pension with my money (dues) have to do with disagreeing with the Union on their political stance? Show me where I quoted that I disagree with any pension plan. You can't.
If you want to be the "Union Hack" and start another thread about my disagreements...knock yourself out. I dance to my own music, not yours or anybody else...Union or Non-Union. I've been trucking too long and been in the Teamsters before to play your little game. Save your pointless arguments for somebody who might give a crap about your opinion.
I get my paychecks from Pepsi, not the Union and that's what this thread is about...Pepsi.

 

U4EA - I'm not sure what the difference would be. I was pulling a flatbed which required a lot of manual labor but I imagine it would be more. Not knocking the Union, they have their place but their not the end all/be all in trucking. I've been a Teamster before and made tons of money as a non-Union driver, saving enough and investing enough to retire now if I choose to, but having an 11 year old daughter makes that a little unlikely, lol.

 

Been running steady since I started here. Our plant sponsored a Rockfish fishing trip for us this past Saturday on a charter boat on the Chesapeake Bay. Couldn't ask for better weather but the Rocks weren't biting. Ended up catching 18 Bluefish instead but we still had a good time. I ended up buying a bushel of crabs for $50.00 (a steal), went home and feasted with family and friends.

 

Your Transportation Supervisor has the money and authority to sponsor events like this. This is an annual event here at the Cheverly, MD. plant. They also give away free tickets to places like Six Flags, Hershey Amusement Park (Hershey, PA), etc.

 

Our Supervisor runs 2 plants, Harrisburg, PA and Cheverly, MD. We have a full time Asst. Trans. Supervisor who actually runs things here.
Are you guys really that slow? We're busy as hell up here, with some drivers running the weekends.
Stay safe.

 

Well, good luck with that. I read where they had split but are now under Pepsi again, at least we are.
They had a Pepsi America (or some other name) here for a few years at a different location. Some of the drivers worked there and said it was a mess and are happy that Pepsi took over again.
Really don't have any complaints here except driving 65mph in those #### Internationals. We rent out a lot of Penske's, I need to talk to my supervisor and try to get one. They'll run 70-71 mph and can save me 45 mins -1hr of driving time. Starting at 8pm, I don't run into any traffic, it's steady running and usually long hauls (by their standards).
Hope all's well with you. Stay safe.
