Like if you took comparable trucking jobs (e.g. comparing two cross country truck driving gigs, or two local delivery gigs, other apples to apples examples), would the Teamster get better pay or better hours/benefits than the non-union guy?

on average, yes but it really depends on the employer. UPS is an outlier. they caved to the teamsters and gave them a great contract. i've represented beer distributors with teamsters-represented drivers who make over 100k per year.

then i've represented companies with teamsters contracts and the drivers don't get paid all that much, maybe even less than some nonunion driving jobs. it just depends on how much leverage the union really has and how hard the employer is willing to fight back at the bargaining table.

Not sure exactly but it’s like 100k+ probably and insane benefits. It’s all the drivers, even the doods who deliver packages

cr used to seem like a sweet gig but even that’s not enough money most places anymore.

ups delivery driver could still be a solid 175 in low col southwest or something. doing that in they’re “peak” season would suck up north where they’re out hours after sunset in shit weather

There’s barely any teamsters trucking anymore outside of UPS. YRC was biggest unionized trucking company and went bankrupt last year

Tiny ones. Teamsters sacrificed 30k Yellow workers to send UPS a message.

yea but the teamsters is still a huge union (although they don't exclusively represent drivers - i've had clients with units of maintenance guys at a hospital, warehouse employees, etc. represented by the teamsters. and the amazon labor union is now a teamsters local).

I represent at least half of the top 10 trucking companies and a ton other smaller ones through insurance carriers and only one i repped w a union was Yellow. Place was dumpster fire by end. Had guys w all sorts of issues that They couldn’t fire them for bc of union. Then yellow would get hammered with all it cares about was making money so it kept a dangerous driver employed at trial. Unions and trucking=nuclear verdict

i disagree with the last sentence. the morons running that company allowed the union to take over. it is 100% within a company's control whether the union relations are as you described. UPS is another example of a company that has handed the reins over to the union. the big three car companies are another. these shitheads at yellow should have probably told the union to suck a dick and taken some strikes early on, but they didn't and they paid the price.
