Every Monday and Tuesday we have contractors going hub to hub and some are even doing pickup accounts. We keep filing grievances and they just keep paying. We even have some guys working their vacations. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/147/#findComment-396994 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxidyne Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Is Big Brown trying to get around the contract, or are they that short of drivers? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/147/#findComment-396997 Share on other sites More sharing options...
upsman Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 They are only “short” drivers on first two days of week at our building but Hoffa is in bed with the company so teamsters get shit on. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/147/#findComment-397010 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know anything about it, just got a quick pic as I went by. Looks like the old O'Hare Factory Branch lot,Brian. Is that at Schmitt's Truck Repair? If so,that's what everybody called "Elk Grove Mack" ,back in the day. What a fitting place for an R model to be parked!
