    Eby-Brown warehouse in Plainfield Indiana MAY go on Strike 03/08/12 contract offer was voted down last Saturday and have been giving an extension till 03/08/12. Just putting this out there for the O/O, L/P guys and GAl'S don't want to see any of you put out if there is a strike. I will up date this when new offer has been voted on.

    That is what public warehouses are for. I always liked the refused load that paid the same to bring it back to the shipper as well. Any driver that waits out a strike and isn't getting daily comchecks is just asking to be ripped off. The feds pay $800 a day for mobile storage in case your interested in rates. $1000+ for refrigerated storage.

    Ok didn't know this just didn't want a guy to show up and not be able to get un loaded and be stuck with trying to get rid of it. Wasting time maybe missing out on a better paying load.
