Hey, Bandit's Cousin!
Thank your company for me for the hell that they are putting the entire HHG industry through. :wink:
I hope you know what I'm talking about. If you don't, they are worse than I thought. |
Yeah WTF ? The whole deal is ridiculous !!!!........ Actually I have no clue what your talking about. :?: So what is the deal ? :) :)

I won't even go into the other changes that are afoot. They claim it isn't deregulation, but it reeks of it. |
I wouldn't call UVL pathetic, as there are much worse carriers to pull for. Not necessarily pointing fingers, or naming names, but they all have their strong/weak points. I NEVER hear positives about Graebel, but then there are people that also seem to do alright with them (you). I pull for the highest revenue generating agent in the Atlas Van Lines system, (as in the teens of millions a year)...downside, is the agent I pull for is a big self-hauler, and they are a full pack and load hauler as well. Just depends on what/who's bullshit you can put up with. I'm more than happy here. So, you lose what...$1k a trip? If that? The I/C's in the HHG industry have been taking pay hits annually from the introduction of this, and the loss of that..part of the business, I guess...as long as I'm not pulling for England, I'm happy :)

I never stated that it wouldn't affect me. You cannot place the blame 100% on UVL, for the new Tariff being placed into action. What I was talking about, was the big hype when Tariff 400N was brought into play. I couldn't find the article I was lookng for, but here's an excerpt from HouseholdDrivers.com, with the breakdown of the paycut that was taken when this tariff was set in motion.

Well, as long as you guys, are willing to haul, for that pay, they have no reason, to pay you more!
Market is very weak, and everybody is affected! :sad: And since your expenses still stay the same, or more, that 30 grand, comes from your bottom line. Brace yourself guys, we have a real rough times ahead! |

Pay cut or not, it's still better than yanking a reefer, flat, or dryvan around!

It's all a big screwy ordeal, I believe somebody once told me (a Bekins Driver) that Bekins was one of the only carriers out there, not operating under 400n, b/c the owner didn't belive in screwing his I/C's out of money that is rightfully theirs. Don't know if there is any truth to that statement, or not but it sure sounds nice lol.
