Are you willing to pay higher prices for everything because truckers demand higher wages? I don't think you've been paying attention, because there's a severe shortage of truck drivers right now, and drivers are raking in really good money.It's a win for the company since they don't have to pay living wages.
The trucking company takes care of its employees and Walmart takes care of its employees. The difference is each can focus on what it does best.
How do you know the Schneider National to share their employees? Typically when a contractor takes over they bring in employees at a less wage with less benefits.
Which lowers costs. If the quality good down to far, however, the contractor gets let go.
I work in IT for a trucking company, BTW.
F****** employees out of wages that a good thing?
Why should a company that supplies poor quality goods and service be rewarded with high revenues to pay poor performing employees?
Truck drivers are making really good money right now because of the hours of service rules which is decreasing the amount of available trucks thus raising freight rates. Once the hours of service rules are adjusted the amount of money truck drivers make is going to be going down to where it was. Then you have to worry about Uber Freight. That's going to run Freight straight into the ground.
