Actually this is about vetting our products for political suitability, be it the Dixie Chicks and Bush, or the homosexual agenda. You want to vet, I don't, so I used a rather absurd (intentionally) example to illuminate the difficulty of being consistent in that regard.
So, tell me, given your years of experience in the trucking industry, what percentage of products are moved by union/non-union drivers?
It depends on what you're talking about truck load, LTL or UPS style stuff.
If you're talking small parcel like UPS and USPS obviously that's nearly all union. The majority of LTL stuff is probably union as well but the unions don't have nearly the throat hold on that portion that they do on small parcel (UPS). When you get to the truckload movers and include the owner operators and private carriers the majority is non-union.
Percentage wise the vast majority of trucking companies have fewer than 10 trucks. Smaller trucking companies and owner operators who may lease out their extra equipment to other drivers.
P.S. Latest statistics are that 78% of all freight moved in the U.S. is moved on a truck.
