I would think in the box hauling business it is unwise to cross a picket line even as a non-union carrier. Teamsters have a wide net and if your company crosses a picket line it might find itself having trouble getting future contracts. I know the big guns (UPS/FedEx) have such strong unions that any contract work with them might be at risk. That might be enough to get all but the nastiest companies to stay clear.
But like the previous posters said, there are lots of excuses including the personal safety card to play. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard for them to find someone else to fly it and they won't have the headache of firing a pilot using the safety defense.

Sorry not from South Florida what is the Palmetto Expressway? It is well known and anyone driving in the area of MIA would recognize?
Thanks,

The Palmetto Expressway is the main drag that runs East-West just south of the airport. You can't miss it. Exit the airport South on LeJeune and it's the first major intersection to the south. (LeJeune is the North-South drag on the East side of the airport)

I am a regional guy and have never flown for a cargo outfit so please pardon my ignorance. How does one know that they are flying AJT struck freight? Do you guys always know exactly what cargo you are carrying and where it comes from?
Once again, sorry for being ignorant on this subject, i am just curious.
Stand strong AJT guys! It takes alot of courage and strength to do what you are doing and it WILL pay off! I cant be there in person to show support but I have a check ready for when a fund is set up.
