[QUOTE="wilberforce15, post: 1064795, member: 5053"] I don't understand the lack of unity between FT and PT folks, here. It seems like we all have the same problem. FTers love the pension and pay, but their main complaint seems to be that their lives often suck anyway. They don't get to see their families, and 50-60hrs every week all year long is a real grind that no PTer should overlook. Many PTers want to go full-time. We are in complete agreement: we need more trucks on the road and more routes for the volume we have. More trucks and more drivers is the only real way to solve 9.5 issues and overwork in the FT crowd. It's also the only way to make many PTers see some hope in this place. I'm a PTer with 3 years of seniority and 7 years with the company, so I don't know everything. But it sure seems to me that more trucks on the road means better service to customers, more on-time deliveries, better FT morale and life balance, and opportunities for PTers. I just don't get how that's not our sole rallying cry. [/QUOTE]
