There is a specific reason that the union forum was moved / merged into politics. The arguments became a constant job for our moderating team, and we needed to focus our attention to the rest of the forum, because there is more going on in the trucking world than just union jobs. We need to spread the mod teams efforts around the forum instead of having them focus on one specific area, thus the reason that we moved the union talk into the political forum where everyone could let loose and feel free to express themselves.

I rarely work less than 10-11 hours, often more in fact. The same is true for almost any P&D/LTL driver I know.
But then I at least get paid from clock-in to clock-out, and the Labour Code applies to my company -- IE, I actually get paid overtime for working OT. Good Heavens, imagine that!
But...The wages are all the same, have been for years, and so is the (total junk) equipment, and you go to the same places regardless of which company you work for, and have to deal with the unending traffic nightmare that is (insert any North American city here), idiot shipper/receivers --many, in rapid succession, often the same issues every ###### time because of aforesaid stupidity...(I want to work evenings/graves again --The hours may be a bit light sometimes, but infinitely less aggro, you can get #### done at night, and generally seem to deal with smarter people.)
It's in some ways better in LTL, but it's certainly not the promised land a lot of OTR types seem to think it is. (You actually have to learn how to reverse in city P&D driving, too
)
