We see more sub-service being used more now than ever, its being used everyday for short hauls. Line haul guys will sit at home or be on the dock while sub-haulers are being used in short lanes. Maybe I misunderstood when I heard they were only being used in overage lanes. How do you line drivers feel because your runs are being sent with sub-haulers so that the company can save a few bucks at your expense? Some of these terminals are beginning to look like truck stops. Why don't you guys start asking the ABF line drivers how many times their line runs are send with sub-haulers? Why not ask the UPS guys as well? Work rules are an important part of a union contract. Start asking and see how bad we are getting screwed!
Here to answer your questions about Sub-Hualers and Jippos.. the only time we see those guys is when Everytbody is working and they have to much frieght that our own people can;t handle the over flow and if they are around for X amount of days we the union force the company to hire casuals and put on more full time workers.. from your friends at ABF...
ReplyDeleteThe more sub-service this company adds, more of our linehaul runs get cut.i guess is part of the "Lean principles" but don't worry, VPP payment will make up for the loss in income, right??
ReplyDeleteTwo times the loser, these freaken young ceo s taken your money for a ride by thinking they can save money by using contract sub driver or by not installing those electronic device so they wont show how they are using our drivers. Just wait. Its time.
