[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 451372, member: 6408"] For one thing, Nickel, you say you're losing runs left and right. Parcel side does this every year after peak. Some come back, some don't. AND, there's now such a thing as THE ECONOMY! Not to be sarcastic, but I guess I will, have you watched the news recently? The whole WORLD is in an economic downturn! Businesses are ALL cutting back, including the parcel side. Watch, it is going to happen here next week. You say contractors are running all around you and Teamsters are powerless? Well, what does your contract say? I don't know, I don't have a copy of it but could get one if you wish. What does it say about contractors? Running around you or out of your terminal? You say you had 95 drivers now you have 90? Well, here at this hub (parcel side), at one time we had over 100 runs, now have about 73. What does that tell you? Feeder runs, that is (tractor-trailer road and pickup jobs). You talk about rumors? Rumors that sleeper teams are being eliminated? Well, rumors are just that, RUMORS! What basis do you have for that statement? You know UPS would LOVE to eliminate ALL sleeper runs, parcel and freight, because it costs so much. Nevermind the savings in time committments. So, I say you're always going to hear that. I just say, chill out a little bit. Wait for this economy to straighten out a little bit and READ THE CONTRACT THAT YOU JUST VOTED FOR! You DO have a contract, don't you? You DID vote, didn't you? [/QUOTE]
