#1 

Been finding using Fedx 2+ day cheaper, faster more likely to arrive on time. Than using UPS to send reports & documents.

#2 Their union contract read like a suicide pact. Reality has been delivered.

#4 
Lost 3 jobs in the 70's due to UNIONS.
2 were, when a union went on a long strike at a place that supplied parts to where I was working.

The 3rd when the union started organizing and the company did the math, just said screw it, shutdown and moved to Mexico. NAFTA & constant TAX increases and give more for votes, help kill the rest of the production industry in the USA.

#5 Indeed. Outsourcing has been very bad for this country but a great deal of the blame can be laid at the feet of the unions.

#6 intro wages are $25-30/hour and no CDL is required

of course you have to be able to lift 50 or 70 pounds, be drug free, speak english and a few other things

with seniority and overtime some drivers make well over $100k

#7 Long haul two driver union requirements double that when you take your girlfriend.
