Do you need an air compressor or tire gauge

Only to you champ.
Jealousy is a mental defect. No shame there. They have sliding scale counselor services. Better get in there before you lose your insurance....strike and all..

UPS white collars only get 1-2% COLA.

Part on order, ok to drive
I really wish more of you guys would think about how the company is going to move the packages should a strike happen, I don't even think they will be able to get the packages in and out of the hubs in enough volume to make it worthwhile to stay operating, let alone get the hundreds of thousands of door dashers to deliver them.
UPS would have to find tens of thousands of CDL drivers to either cross and use UPS equipment or hire some companies to move the volume, those companies have contracts they have to uphold and they don't have the excess equipment or personal to move the volume.
They could also try to hire owner operators bit many of those guys are contracted out and have obligations and may not be thrilled about driving their equipment where it could be damaged.
How do they plan on overcoming these obstacles in a short time span without dramaticly overpaying for the people and companies to cross?
I am not saying they will not find some people, I am saying they would have a hard time finding enough to be viable.

GrubHub drivers lined up for miles

I have read your other posts and I think we agree on the company not being able to find the people. Just wanted to comment for others.
But you still need to get the boxes there.... the trucking industry does not have the excess manpower or equipment to move our volume.
Plus are those grubhubers going to enjoy listening to people yelling at them and harassing them while they wait in long lines to get in and out, many won't have the stomach for it.
I am not sure all the Uber drivers and grubhubbers with their Nissan altimas can move enough volume to keep the system going. The whole thing would be so risky to try and stay open, they would have to massively overpay for feeders to keep moving and that's a IF they can get the people, then take a huge risk on PVDs moving enough in a hostile strike environment to stay profitable or atleast not loose a ton
That's a lot of risk

Didn't start it. You jealous clowns can only tear folks down for your own shortcomings. I was attacked....I responded....

Can you imagine if you said that purchasing a car is the best decision you ever made in your life? Any car? Not the relationships formed. Not the people that you’ve helped out. Not your wife, not your kids. Nope the car you bought is the best decision you ever made. That Dave. Congratulations.
