Those companies are in the high $30 per hour right now. Sadly, ABF is not. And most of those companies have a decent benefit package whether anybody admits to that or not. It’s obviously not as good as ours and probably never will be but it’s not far off. The mileage pay at those LTL companies, which is what 90% of them get paid(line haul/road drivers) puts them around 45 bucks an hour when you break it down which is more than what we make now. You have to look at the overall big picture. And my comment is based on the fact that everybody in the industry is closer to us now than they ever have been in the past and that’s because our negotiations have been week for the last several contracts, and this contract proves the same after all the hype talk!</p></blockquote><p></p>
