[QUOTE="705red, post: 514130, member: 5229"] How did "most" companies become union? People that got fed up with not getting paid for down time, break downs, waiting at customers locations, etc. I do not feel bad for a trucker because hes not making what myself or a union freight brother is making. Im not faulting them for making a living, just dont compare what they make to what we union drivers make! They can make similar if they choose. I have done a lot of different jobs including driving before i went in to "package car" driving. I also worked 2 and 3 jobs for 5 years to get to where i am. You do not understand as an "off the street hire". Im sorry that you made crap in other jobs, but the majority of our feeder drivers worked their way up sacrificing as a part timer, to package car driver and then in to feeder. Imagine doing the load unload while working another 8 to 10 hours at a full time job, not seeing your wife/kids for 5 years so you could get a driving job at ups. Only to work 10 to 12 hours of hustling all day to the point that you were dead tired when you got home. To finally get in to feeder. Yes the hours can be long, the weather can be bad, but the work compared to package is nothing. You have not endured this adventure that probably over 90% of the feeder rivers have, thats what i am saying! Bingo, thanks! [/QUOTE]
