[QUOTE="YoungerBrasherSmarterer, post: 3002210, member: 66250"] So your main argument is that it is colder? Seriously? I have seen loaders during peak loading 4 trucks to the brim on an outside dock in 0° weather with no heat. I've seen a team of guys loading a trailer of 100+ pound boxes of furniture returns by hand outside. I've seen them do this in the blistering sun, the pouring rain, and with foot deep piles of snow on the boxes. I've seen driver's in package cars that have more holes than a collondar, and heat that just barely defrosts the front windows, working in negative temperatures, trudging through 3+ feet of snow. I've seen guys searching for a small package for several minutes, that lead to many hours, mixed in with 350 plus packages in the back of a package car reaching excesses of 150°. All this is done while some weasel supervisor is breathing down your neck asking why you can't do it better, faster, and safer. If weather is the only factor on being why freight dock workers have it harder than UPSer's then yes, it is a ridiculous statement. I'm glad that you are not a freight guy that will ever be representing me. I have seen that arrogance before. I've been at docks where I hear "there goes easy money." You freight guys know our hourly rate and think that we are overpaid. Guys who have done this know we are overworked. [/QUOTE]
