This particular organization is reputedly a United Parcel Service/Teamsters Union front operation.

Have any Freepers actually tried to join it?

No doubt the "mob" behind those guys would really like to "open the books" and see what all those independent truckers who haul mail are actually getting paid, eh?!

What is YOUR PROBLEM?! They find the Postal Service is abusing and wasting TAX DOLLARS and you have a fit! No one is saying that the regular postal workers are anything but hard-working. They are saying that the BIG BOSSES are WASTING MONEY, which is true.

For instance, we just had a NEW POST OFFICE built when there was absolutely NOTHING WRONG with the older one. It still houses the FEDERAL COURTS, the FEDERAL JUDGE and office spaces for some probation officers. They were suppose to CLOSE the old one but guess what? NO ONE USES THE NEW ONE!!! It's OUT OF THE WAY! DUH! That was a WASTE!!! People are STILL USING the OLD POST OFFICE but NOT THE NEW ONE!!! WASTED $$$$$$$$!!!!!

Those "independant truckers" must lease back their trucks to the trucking companies who are "AWARDED" mail contracts.

And trucking companies must provide an equipment list before those contracts are awarded. So by the time an independant trucker gets hired on to haul mail, he's making minimal profit but on a continual basis. USPS rarely brokers loads directly to independents. But they do that too!

PS: air mail usually means a fast truck when stateside. But we're not supposed to tell. :-)
