We hire 1 outside for every 6 inside. The outside hires haven't been with the company very long.
how many of those outside hires are from pt mgt??? very few outside hires are off the street anymore.

I respect the driver for how he performs his job as a driver.
In my 24 years I have yet to figure out how knowing how to load 'em has anything to do with knowing how to deliver 'em. Some of our best preloaders have become some of our worst drivers and vice versa.
We have a PT cover driver who is used only as a last resort (hell, they'd rather put the janitor on the street than this guy) as he seems to think that he can maintain his insider pace while on road.

Yawn.
I was hired under the provisions you and your fellow Teamsters agreed on. I am not going to apologize for the fact that some of you feel that I didn't "earn" my position.
As I said above, you don't have to know how to load 'em to deliver 'em.
your a dying breed...this isnt the 80's anymore...Im actually glad that they took a chance on a military veteran, or any military veteran for that fact, but there will never be more that a trickle of outside hires in the future...the floodgates have locked shut!!

You say, "you and your fellow Teamsters" like you don't pay dues.
Dave, I get where you're coming from and I agree you can be a great driver without having worked inside first. I was just saying that for those of us who put in the time inside and made the sacrifices in order to drive it's hard to hear some got here without having to put in that work. It's like getting to a finish line of a race to see someone in the audience duck under the ropes and cross the finish line like they ran the race too, but again as I prefaced my last post in this thread I know I shouldn't feel that way and I realize it's not the outside hire's fault nor did they do anything wrong.
My "free ride" consisted of 8 years of serving my country.
I really don't care what you, Techie or anyone thinks of outside hires. If the union and company wanted to promote solely from within there would not be an outside hire clause in the contract. The simple matter is that I was hired under the terms of the contract which you and your fellow Teamsters ratified. I understand what you are talking about but quite frankly don't care. Dave.
...btw..you should feel that way...it's human nature to feel screwed by someone getting a free ride...
Better be careful or The Great Hoaxster will accuse you of stalking. Brush up on the BC Posting Code.This statement has no relevance, in any way, to the concerns that many embrace against the policy of outside hiring.
It is simply a separate and detached fact.
Nice try, Dave.
