[QUOTE="brett636, post: 3770277, member: 249"] The affect will be this. Any and all loads going to and from the rail will be put on subcontractors. Runs will be lost. Some lost forever. The agreement allows UPS unlimited subcontracting for the next 5 years of all rail work. Now there is language to hire new drivers and bring those loads back to feeders in the form of new sleeper team runs. I will not be holding my breath for any sleeper team work to come here. The agreement says 2000 new sleeper team runs by 2023, and some have tried to say that there will probably be more than that. I say UPS MIGHT honor the 2000 jobs, but will not create one job more as everything after that will be on subcontractors. My building has over 430 feeder drivers and we have zero sleeper team runs. My guess we will lose a significant number of road runs almost immediately and may never see them come back as larger buildings both to the north and south of us run the lions share of the sleeper operations for our area.
