[QUOTE="Braveheart, post: 114056, member: 5831"] Yes we all make it happen. Part timers, clerks, porters, mechanics, air drivers, managers, oms, feeders, package drivers, etc etc I respect all the workers who work hard and in teamwork. We are the face of the company as drivers but I am only as good as my preloader who deserves better pay and a full time job too. I asked for us the last contract to get better rules and in exchange we would take smaller raises like a flat 50 cent yearly raises so the part timers could get better money and more combo full time jobs. The part I have a problem with managers who say we are overpaid! Those are the ones making horribly bad decisions and yet make more money, plus 401k matching funds, we do not get, and huge stock bonuses, we also do not get. Those managers who are fair, respectful, honest, sound decision makers deserve all the riches they make. But lets face it. Most of the people who go into management either go in because their back, knees, etc can't take it anymore or they simply don't want to do manual labor anymore because it sucks or they think it is beneath them! We have a bunch of idiots running the show where I am at with only a few good ones here and there. They are desperate for anybody to go into management. If the job is so difficult that they go into management to get away from it and it tears your body apart don't we deserve the respect we ask for?! For every driver I see make it to retirement[B][/B]I see 10 drivers whose careers are cut short by blown knees and backs! But hey, we can't all go into management to avoid the MANUAL LABOR! [/QUOTE]
