    Can anyone confirm the op’s claim? I still see their trucks out there. And still pulling Kroger trailers.

    I really like the union mentality this job sucks so much that we are going to strike. Company agrees and throws in the towel. Union members start whining they are screwing us.

    You’re so arrogant. Go get your eyes checked. You have no idea what you’re talking about. Let me guess you think since you own your own truck. You believe you’re a “business owner”

    I know for a fact my union job pays more then your job. I have a retirement and company paid health insurance. Quickway shut down the operations because the drivers went union.

    Oh haha, the Teamsters have 27 different pension funds. Yes central states is bankrupt. But since you’re so smart why don’t you bring up Minneapolis warehouse pension? 98% funded. What about the Western Conference? 50 billon dollars in that fund, and 99% funded! What about Local 710 pension working at UPS? After 30 years you get $4500 dollars. Oh and that’s 97% funded. Sit down in your sleeper driver. I love when people like you preach central states, that’s how uneducated you are.

    Der, der, I make .40 cents a mile. Do you understand that. let’s compare retirement and w2s.
