    I wouldn’t do a Dollar anything account for any amount of money, let alone 1200. That’s a good way to get unemployed within a week.

    I did. I work for UPSF now. You should def look at the terminals in your area. I know where I live, everyone is hurting for drivers, so even of youre green, you have a chance of being hired.

    I'm glad things are going good for you so far. Good luck and best wishes.

    I also heard that UPS overwhelming voted over 90% yes for the authorization to strike. I'm hearing that it MIGHT wind up being the largest labor strike in history if negotiations don't go well. That two tier pay sytem that they're trying to pass ain't gonna fly...no way in HELL. Not quite sure what's gonna happen...but I'm crossing my fingers that negotiations go well for you guys.

    Thanks, Sho Nuff! Although Im not sure if I'll be emploued by them after today since I popped a tire on a curb at a loading dock. Im in my probation period still and if they charge this as an accident then I'll be looking elsewhere!

    Whats this two tier pay system??? Are you referring to the pay difference that UPGF and feeders make?
     
    Sho Nuff Thanks this.

    No you didn’t. There was a piece of debris in the road and you couldn’t avoid it.

    Too late bro. I already called dispatch. The rim is dented slightly also, although they should be anle to bang that back in with a sledge.

    OUCH! Talk to your shop steward and see what he has to say. Probation period is 45 days.

    I think this article will explain it more on the possible strike and two tier pay system. It's more towards the Parcel side, not Freight......

    America may soon face its biggest labor strike in decades
