[QUOTE="HFolb23, post: 5006853, member: 55674"] I was glad to see the arbitration decision but my first concern is if there is anything that says UPS can’t hire PVDs and also provide them a vehicle? I’m not talking about uhauls or Ryder trucks, I’m talking they go down to Hertz, Enterprise, Budget, etc and rent every Van and SUV they can find? As ridiculous and frankly grimy as that would be for the company to do I wouldn’t put it past then. Seems it would solve the DOT physical requirement while providing a vehicle for them. I go back and forth on the PVDs, it was nice to hand them the most time consuming sections of my route and any misloads too, but I also fully understand why it was not in the best interest of teamsters too. This will be my first peak as a feeder driver so I don’t really have any skin in the PVD game anymore, but we’re fighting our own battles with the contractors and I can draw the parallels between the PVDs and the scabs pulling our trailers.
