Do not be Ignorant be Protected, get your presentation go to your local union rep for you to have a better future fight for what you believe and stand up for yourselves and your family a word to the wise.

    2. Doing so will put your job in jeopardy,filing a petition will offer you a level of protection that you do not have now. Filing a petition will send a HUGE message to him and others higher up,take my word for it he will pay attention!!!

    2. Whats going on is,union busters are their doing what they do but not really getting anywhere,Tony Brooks stopped by for a couple days,not sure why,trying to pressure drivers i guess.

      Not much food being served which sucks a little bit. They have 7 days to turn the weaklings and so far have succeeded in turning 2 no votes into yes votes so keep up the good work Terren Becker a.k.a.union buster.

    3. Ok thanks. Did Berg get fired or did he resign? I heard Jacobs was in Philly briefly too.

  7. Don't worry driver's Bradley Jacobs will take care of you. No changes for at least one year. Everyone is safe. Well at least till he make's a deal and replaces driver's for this. Welcome to the future of delivery..

  10. Let's vote the union in pay the 57 dollars a month and have real protection. I'll just say this you know how Conway gives us 20 minutes to hook a set? Well the union will get us a 30to45 minute hook time and that right there will pay for the union dues and then some.

  14. A self-driving truck just hauled 51,744 cans of Budweiser on a Colorado highway. This will not work for LTL, just to much human activity. http://money.cnn.com/2016/10/25/technology/otto-budweiser-self-driving-truck/

    1. We're dealing with companies that have billion's in dollar's.All they have to spend is a couple of billion's and Of course it'll work. If it make's the company profits, they'll make it work...

      The company says it is happy to gradually phase Otto’s trucks in as they prove themselves ready. Until then, Uber Freight’s primary function will be as a “marketplace” that will bring Uber’s expertise in dynamic pricing to an industry it considers hidebound and inefficient.

      In other words, if you’re in a line of work that relies on using trucks to move goods around, say hello to surge pricing.

  16. I would like to know for ALL the ones who say the don't need a union to speak for them...How's that working out or how has that worked out for you in the past? Have you managed to sit down with corporate and express how you feel about this company? I know there's some drivers that are against the union yet they sit up and COMPLAIN with drivers who are for the union. I JUST WANTED TO KNOW TO THOSE OF YOU WHO CAN SPEAK FOR YOURSELF HOW'S IT GOING AND HAS ANY OF YOUR COMPLAINTS OR CONCERNS BEEN RESOLVED. THIS IS NOT A TRICK QUESTION...PLEASE RESPOND HONESTLY. ...THANK YOU!
