Union companies also usually have a true multi employer pension plan which is far superior to most 401k plans.

Insurance companies are setting the bar high on hiring, even local union jobs. No experience or lack of recent experience and the rates rise dramatically, thus leaving companies to hire drivers with recent experience of at least 2 years recent.
