UPS Linehaul

[zorry]

You start a thread on UPS and now you're talking UPS Freight.

That's like starting a thread about ABF to discuss Panther.

UPS Freight does a lot of expedite from their terminals, mainly because they can't get it delivered in time. Also, because they don't want to send a whole truck and trailer out to BFE for just one or two skids.

Report it to a moderator and maybe this thread will get locked again.

UPS Freight O/Os are non-union.

When I was a Teamster O/O I was required to be an employee. At full rate and benefits.
I got a w-2 for wages. Any extra money owed was paid on a rent check, to rent my truck. This was 1099'd.
It was sweet.

I have no idea what the arrangement is, but if UPS Freight was Union O/O I'd probably be there just about ready to collect my 30 year pension.

I would guess they agreed that a certain % of loads could remain pulled by ICs.

Thank you Zorry. I wish I would have read your post prior to retiring last night. I'm sure I would have slept better knowing all about the O/Os at UPS FREIGHT.

Just trying to get everyone on same page.
Would hate to have you go through the trauma of being locked again.
You'll sleep better tonight.

You should get your name on the list of prospective moderators so you will be ready when a slot opens up.

I was on the short list recently.
When I told them I would never suppress freedom of speech by locking a thread, they told me I wasn't qualified.
