Amen.
Nobody said it was all his doing. Your job is to load cans and drive trucks. Pilots jobs are to fly the freight globally. Fred's job made it happen.
Please tell me more about how it's a bad thing to come from money? If that statement even has any merit. Cheating and lying ok, maybe. And a killer?
Dear lord, you are the queen of kool aid.
Have you made that decision?
Nope. The problem is exactly how and why Fred has you stuck. You can't leave, you won't organize...hell, he's got alot of you for another 15 years to bleed your incomes at will. You need to explain it to the rest of your topped out couriers.
Don't forget the Budget, Penske trucks masquerading as ground,hd trucks..One conmans trucks are so unsafe he is running 2 rentals,and the other 3 are just pos....Thank god I can pick and choose when and where I want to work,just to get out of the house..never ever again with greedy conmen whose god is the almighty dollar.....
Oh I supposed Fred "promised" you those promotions.
Now you resort to calling names? I understand you're frustrated but I stand by the facts. If at near age 50 you are unable to convince the majority of couriers to sign cards and organize, then yes, you're screwed. You're stuck. But the cards were stacked against you all along. You and I have known this for years. So who's the "dummy"? Me, you, or the thousands of couriers too afraid to lose what they have for the chance to have something better for themselves and those who come after?
. That's silly. I rent two Ryders. Know why? Because economicallyit makes sense. It's about the same cost as buying a new truck without the maintenance expense. Been doing it for a couple years in some outlying areas. Initially I did it to see how durable Sprinters are.
What about the Drivers who have to work out of the rentals??No side doors to work out of..opening the door into traffic,Getting soaked when It's raining..of coarse it's silly to you,who cares what dangers the driver has to deal with as long as you bow down to the almighty dollar....Hope the purple flu doesn't find your psa.
As I have worked out of every truck at my location,I will strongly disagree with you..How can it be more comfortable when you have you get out of the truck INTO traffic??Crazy windy days,when the door will dislocate fingers,shoulders..As usual to heck with Safety,as long as its economical..thats the First thing you referenced in your post...save a few pennys screw the worker,that how I see it..You are the model contractor.
