[QUOTE="BrownMonk, post: 4126865, member: 66576"] I'm w I'm with you on some agents thinking UPS guys aren't real Teamsters and all that, but I also know a lot of agents that came from UPS think that freight, carhaul and white paper guys are lazy. The strongest Locals are the mixed ones where there is a nice mix on their Boards. Too much of anything usually means someone is going under represented. I will say that from talking to so many of the other industries in my Local and other Locals, things like mandatory O/T and management are even worse there but understood as part of a job that was accepted. I believe that might do with a little different hiring practice and industry standard. UPS tends to hire younger and prefer college. Freight and Carhaul seem to hire a little older and seasoned individuals(CDL A requires at least 21 YO) and experience is preferred. Seems to be more family in those groups(might be age) where we have more young guys that can't wait to hit the bar and chase tail. A young guy with large money in his pocket has different priority than the more seasoned UPS guy. We tend to retire earlier than them as well since most have no benefits when they leave [/QUOTE]
