Now, all the workers at NCT New Century Transportation will lose their jobs, in fact they already have lost them. These men and women are now available to the job market and must try to sell their human labor to trucking companies remaining in business. The NCT New Century Transportation trucks will be parked but, not for long. The machines will be placed back into service and with increasingly poor results the union, the people that fear capitalism, which in a sense created them, will destroy itself.

You cannot explain in total the means of destruction of any trucking company.  Attempts to explain economics and a carrier shut down inside the Obama political economy becomes coldly analytical and mostly misses the truth never to be told in charts and graphs.  

Yes, they are arguments of low rates, too much government regulations, high taxes, costly loans, bad deals,  and the irrefutable Teamster union threats that doom and never compromise.  You see, NCT, didn't shut down, not really, they just changed all the rules. 

The men and women of NCT New Century Transportation have lost their chance to learn and prosper, build and admire and work inside another Harry Muhlschlegel business model that sets the pace, runs the race, plays to win and builds a team but, they don't know it. 

They were too busy on FACEBOOK writing out their thoughts and explaining their own failure to unionize NCT New Century Transportation.  The losers got personal and called out names, business deals and all their business advice and hindsight being typed for all to see.  Now their unemployed.  Now they cannot learn from one of the best transportation minds in the industry. They were too busy playing trucking to learn transportation.  They will continue to complain, apply for jobs, look for a sign on bonus but they will never blame themselves, the missed opportunity to participate in something bigger and better.

Within the capitalistic free enterprise system in America a man or woman can start a trucking company today, maybe they should do that.   The market is free for any person to enter, buy the trucks, building the buildings, hire the men and women that drive the future.  But these are the building blocks of a free market business, the environment of unions that they wanted is much different. The Teamster Union has nothing to do with the free market, craftsmanship and pride of a job well done.  

The Teamsters want a special advantage over the employees and employers and agree to sell their union influence, authority and weight for a monthly union fee.  With revolutionary aims the union destroys the host employer and everyone will lose in the end.  The men and women that wanted a union contract at NCT discovered the true free market when NCT closed it's doors and parked the trucks.  Pink slips are a dime a dozen so they were mailed by the thousands.  You see, the guy with the checkbook wins.  It's the free market.  The Teamsters cannot hire you.  They don't have trucks or jobs.  The Teamsters at the highest levels are still monitored by the government, you have to watch possible thugs and organized crime elements. 

The men and women that want to sell their labor, wants the most money for the only product they have to sell, their time and work ethic. Everybody wants to most money including the motor freight carrier.  If NCT could raise rates I'm positive that Harry would have shared in the wealth.  Don't you remember how nice the truck was that you parked and then limped home.  What will the unemployed driver tell his wife this time?  Who's fault is it this time?  How can the same driver, be wrong, over and over again. The wife will want to know about insurance.  The kids still want to go on vacation.  The house payment is still due.  

But what is the correct price for that labor?  What is the true value, in market terms, of a tractor trailer driver?  The driver wants to sell his labor-power and the capitalist wants a profit.  There can be no profit if everything is sold at the exact value. A Teamster driver is just too expensive to make a profit.  A Teamster benefit package is way out of line and the carrier cannot afford the expense.  The driver can want but the market must provide not just the carrier.  America won't support unions and their high costs.  Unions have been proven to be corrupt and political, maybe the laid off driver can explain all this to his wife that won't sleep too well tonight. 

So, when the union sets an excessive price for labor that means all the profit has been removed because the market disagrees with the Teamsters Union and their wage demands.  The truck driver can yell but it does not change the market.  The driver can have a Teamster contract but that just kills his future.  

Now, all the workers at NCT New Century Transportation will lose their jobs, in fact they already have lost them.  These men and women are now available to the job market and must try to sell their human labor to trucking companies remaining in business.  

The NCT New Century Transportation trucks will be parked but, not for long.  The machines will be placed back into service and with increasingly poor results the union, the people that fear capitalism, which in a sense created them, will destroy itself.

New Century Transportation NCT Harry Muhlschlegel New Jersey Jevic Transportation Teamsters Local 107 Harry was the founder and owner of JEVIC Transportation which held to the philosophy that men-machines-money and methods properly utilized could improve truck driver working conditions, improve the standard services offered to shippers and consignees and create a revolution within the motor freight industry, create a profit, and he was right.

NCT New Century Transportation, a New Jersey based motor freight trucking company encountered too many obstacles to survive in the Obama Socialist economy.

The Chairman of New Century Transportation Harry Muhlschlegel should write his Autobiography as one of the most successful motor freight trucking capitalist in the United States. 

Still influenced by the free enterprise system Harry Muhlschlegel is not only optimistic about change he's  almost romantic about operating a good business with great people.

Harry was the founder and owner of JEVIC Transportation which held to the philosophy that men-machines-money and methods properly utilized could improve truck driver working conditions, improve the standard services offered to shippers and consignees and create a revolution within the motor freight industry, create a profit,  and he was right.

Harry, renowned and determined launched his JEVIC transportation and brought all his men and women together, bought the best machines and developed his own LTL TL OTR industrial trucking religion.

His pigheadedness became a philosophy and his words became the policy and his belief in people and the brotherhood he created inside JEVIC created a pacesetter carrier while other name branded carriers bungled about everything and committed business suicide.

He was smart enough to combine the human knowledge driving down the road that other trucking companies just called truck drivers.  He would spend millions of dollars on computers but refused to learn about Microsoft email.  His own necessity to work taught other men the old-fashioned half-mad ethic of working for a living.

 

As Harry Muhlschlegel was teaching the reality of trucking at JEVIC Transportation the non-working aristocrats of the big brands struggled to make payroll, tried to keep their old trucks running, had to deal with unions and their lazy members working the docks, fixing the trucks, delivering the loads a day late. 

The old timers at JEVIC shared the greatest wealth and that was in being able to learn directly from Harry.  Harry had a talent to reorganize your ideas and thoughts into positive and productive actions.  Each man or woman was rewarded in proportion to each person's contribution and not by the familiar political games that stressed most companies.

So when you get a chance, say Hello to Harry.

It's a new beginning.

Motor Freight Trucking Management Unemployment wasn't that high, percentage reported but, there were millions of men unemployed, just not counted. Ominously, the distribution of wealth, 24,000 families owned just about everything and the bottom six million didn't do so well. This distribution ratio of 1 to 250 meant that most American families owed money on everything they almost owned. With the use of excessive installment buying industrial and retail sales were great but it was all on credit. People were buying things they couldn't afford.

The great stock market crash of 1929 was a big surprise.  You might note that stocks reached a all time high before tumbling down and down to the financial catastrophe you call the crash.

Prosperity was everywhere, clerks, dock men, drivers and even the guy sweeping the sidewalk.  Optimism.  Everyone could get rich, just buy some stocks, even if you had to use (margin) credit to get on the bandwagon to wealth and prosperity.

The guy digging a water well hole owned stocks, the barber and all the businesspeople had their hand in the money pie.

But, beneath the surface, lay disturbing economic facts even though most of them were left unnoticed until it was too late.

The public was caught by surprise by the crash and even the economic expert economists, both private and government were caught off guard and the entire U.S. economy failed.

Nine million savings accounts vanished as the banks were failing by the thousands.  Over 85,000 businesses failed and went under, wages dropped to 10-25 cents an hour and breadlines formed and the great depression loomed to cover the world.

After the crash, 14 million were unemployed.  The economists were sure it could never happen but, many thought it would be a permanent depression.   This is the time when America made a hard left and started learning about Marx who promised to cure unemployment and then Keynes solving the depression.

We've been here before.

The American truck driver does not like Robber Barons, and ownership, executives and managers greatly underestimate the ability of the American democracy in the job market. To correct your abuse of them, perception, they cause you harm and then leave. While given to extremes and understanding the drivers psychology they will spoil the well before they leave.

Trucking Managers Trucking Ownership Trucking Executives You might not know it but your employees-associates truck drivers and administrative and sales folks believe you're a robber baron. They think, and talk about, that you're out for profits and really don't care about them and their family or personal needs.

In earlier books, the author, received some acclaim when he probed society problems and how all these problems invaded every trucking company. He had strong uncomplimentary criticism for HR Human Resource Departments because they retained very little value in helping the guys and gals that drive the trucks. Robber barons are known for their savagery as the titans of big business are predatory which leaves the working man or woman as the victim.
