[QUOTE="Brownslave688, post: 938426, member: 34439"] Rail is cheap always has been and for some reason companies got away from using it. It's cheaper to pull 50 cars with one engine than one trailer with a truck regardless of what the operators are making. If you think for one second this company is going to say oh well they took a pay freeze we will hire more people your nuts. The fact is we are a public company now and profits drive us. They are always looking for a cheaper option. As for you 25+ year drivers saying oh I don't need a raise well sure you don't your house is paid off or at the very least the payment is nowhere near the percentage of your income it was when you first bought it, kids are gone and well a pay freeze won't hurt you too bad. However us younger folk need raises to continue to live comfortably like it or not the cost of everything rises always has always will so in turn I expect my income to rise. [/QUOTE]
