Suspended Northeast LTL carrier cleared to restart business

Land Air Express of New England has been cleared to resume operations after U.S. safety regulators lifted an out-of-service order that parked the less-than-truckload carrier's tractor-trailers for nearly 10 days.
The carrier reached an agreement with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration that includes a safety management plan and close FMCSA oversight of the company for the next two years, the truck safety watchdog agency said.
The FMCSA upgraded the carrier's safety fitness rating from "unsatisfactory" to "conditional." Generally, carriers with an unsatisfactory safety fitness rating are not allowed to operate commercial vehicles.
Land Air Express of New England President William Spencer was not immediately available for comment.
The regional less-than-truckload carrier was shut down by an out-of-service order after missing a Dec. 29 deadline to respond to an unsatisfactory safety rating proposed by the FMCSA following an investigation and audit last fall.
The unsatisfactory/unfit out-of-service order idled many of the Williston, Vermont-based carrier’s 700 employees, and left shippers waiting for freight stuck in the company’s 14 terminals and searching for alternative routes to other regions.
Partner LTL trucking companies in The Reliance Network, as well as competitors, have helped clear freight from those Northeastern terminals. The Reliance Network is working to keep freight bound for other regions moving.
“While there have been some service delays this week, we’re doing our best to minimize those,” Geoffrey Muessig, executive director of The Reliance Network and executive vice president of Pitt Ohio, said in an interview Jan. 7.
Land Air Express of New England's return to service should ease pressure on Pitt Ohio and other TRNet members, including Averitt Express, LME, Peninsula Motor Lines, Mountain Valley Express and Canadian Freightways Kingsway.

good luck trying to get customers back after your competition has taken them all. the "conditional" rating is not going to woo anyone, unless they are telling customers "don't worry, well move your freight, on the house!"

Buffalo YRC needs a linehaul driver now. Apply at drive4yrc.com its listed as tonawanda ny they also have a pt p and d driver opening too
You will get your full benefits when you 1 make the seniority list, 2 pay your union iniation fee, 3 get 36 days of employment in between now and 3/30/16. While they pay isnt at the top of the scale, that free health insurance and ot after 8 in any day is a huge advantage than working for someone like ADP ESTES NEMF TEALS FDX Central Transport you also have that contract that gets you everything your entitled too. None of the stringing you along.
Also, if you havent been paid since December and the company has been through the ringer this week, why would you continue to keep volunteering your time in the hopes that it all pans out ? Get your unemployment claim going and then get hired at a new carrier of your choice before someone else does and your left out in the cold.

Trucker Land Air Express of New England Reinstated After Shutdown
Federal regulators had closed the less-than-truckload carrier on Dec. 29 after inspections for drug and alcohol testing violations

Federal transportation regulators allowed Land Air Express of New England trucks back on the road Thursday, more than a week after shutting the company down for violations related to drug and alcohol testing.
Land Air, which operates about 330 trucks, mostly in the Northeast, was told to cease operations on Dec. 29 by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The shutdown came after the company failed to address violations uncovered in an inspection in late October.
According to agency records, Land Air failed to conduct random alcohol testing at the required rate, or to conduct tests for alcohol or controlled substances after accidents. The company also employed a driver who had tested positive for a controlled substance and a driver who didn't have the proper licenses, the agency said.
Land Air executives didn't immediately return calls requesting comment.

The company can now operate on a “conditional” basis, meaning it must follow a “heightened, stricter, specified set of safety requirements” and close monitoring by the FMCSA, the agency said.
In the nine months ending June 30, the FMCSA performed 10,963 investigations, resulting in 628 out-of-service orders, according to a report prepared by the agency.
Williston, Vt.-based Land Air specializes in less-than-truckload service, in which trucks carry goods for multiple customers on routes, and operates out of 13 terminals in New England, New York and New Jersey.
It’s also a member of the Reliance Network, an alliance of regional trucking companies operating in the U.S. and Canada. In a statement Wednesday, the group said its members “took action to identify resources to deliver freight currently in our system” after Land Air was told to stop operating.
The SJ Consulting Group, a transportation research firm, ranked the privately-held company as the 44th largest carrier in the U.S. and Canada in 2014, with $83 million in revenue in LTL operations.

NEMF has OT after 8 and a pension plan. If you start young you can retire after 30 years.

NEMF has good equipment but a weak union, not Teamsters. Aerospace or something along them lines.
Same could be said about teamsters these days as well.
