[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1082836, member: 14668"] Not conspiracy, merely logic. A new hire costs the company about $15K less per year to do the same work than a 25 year driver when you factor in the wage differential, vacations, progression, optional holidays, willingess to skip lunch, and the age difference/likelihood of injury. The easiest and cheapest way to force older, more expensive drivers off of the payroll is to beat them down through the intentional deletion of basic ergonomic and safety features such as low steps and power steering in the equipment that they will spend their careers in. The company saves money on both ends: the cars are a few hundred bucks cheaper, and the drivers who cant fight the equipment any longer will be forced to retire a few months or even years earlier. Dont think for a minute that the company didnt do the math on that one. [/QUOTE]
