[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3844734, member: 58386"] From what I gather you came in after the first generation endured those very difficult formative years. Naturally you would likely have it better because somebody made it better for you. Furthermore, once consolidation is complete there will no longer be separate HD and Ground units. It will all be one followed shortly afterward by 6 day a week year round operations and 7 days a week not long afterward. You talk about growth keep something in mind. Your employees are covered under Taft Hartley. They are completely within their legal rights to petition for union representation. If it were to happen your contract would be pulled so fast you wouldn't know what hit you. There is nothing that you're doing that FXG can't do themselves except for the only two reasons you exist. One . To serve as a firewall against union representation and two, to provide XG with an endless supply of cheap trucking and cheap labor. There is simply no getting around that cold fact. In the meantime you be alright as long as there's somebody walking through that door physically able and psychologically willing to go out there and deliver you top of the scale performance for bottom of the scale money and do it on a continuous daily basis for an extended period of time. When not if but when that day comes when nobody walks through that door and boxes assigned to you are sitting on your truck with nobody to drive it and or your employees are through doing the work of 3 people for half the pay of their peers...... we'll see who the failure is.
