[QUOTE="U(s)PS Guy, post: 370109, member: 15583"] actually to answer your union comment - last year I voted against the contract because all part time employees would have been FIRED. this was in the union contract, I :censored::censored::censored::censored: you not. so much for contract protection when the contract says you're outta here? however this year I'll actually get to keep my job. we are technically union, they have all the signatures. Now it's in the final stages of figuring out our local agreement and we'll have our conversion meeting. So as you can tell, based off my initial interaction with the teamsters, I have been wary of anything they tell me. Well I guess I was wrong when I thought that Freight only had tractor-trailers...but I would not be wrong in assuming that since that is ALL I ever see on the road. If they have smaller trucks out there, they must be pretty rare. Do you [I]honestly[/I] believe that these straight/box trucks would just swoop in and take over your routes? Hell I know we get a bunch of little 5 pound boxes coming through my building daily. But they are always connected with much larger things. I guess these companies should split up their orders so that the bigger thing go through SCS/Freight and the rest of the little ones through Brown. I imagine they'll enjoy waiting for one or the other driver to show up with their product instead of keeping them together and playing it smart. [/QUOTE]
