Are there any barns in Holland's system that are allowing cartage companies to come in and get freight? If so please let it be known we are having problems in Nashville.
 
Local cartage. I forget the name but they were using long nose freight liner and kw daycabs. It's been quite some time since I've been to KC though.

They started in Atlanta last week, 8 straight trucks with a bunch of inexperienced kids returning freight. We just had one dumb ass go to the Quik Trip and leave his straight truck unlocked and running loaded with Holland freight.The straight truck was stolen and has yet to be located.
We are swamped with freight in Atlanta and falling way behind.The company knows we will be getting paid for every shipment delivered by pts and are willing to spend to get caught up in an effort to service and retain customers.
Dave Woolsey' is in Atlanta to help and I must admit he has some pull.He just got us 4 trailers and is making Atlanta a training center.
I also heard we will be getting the terminal manager from the Wausau terminal.
 
They were there 1 day, 4 straight trucks, didn't make a dent. If they just streamlined the hiring process, it wouldn't be so bad. All we're gonna get is warm bodies so, what's the point in taking 2 months to do it LOL.

That I believe was why terminal manager got fired .Woolsey said there was no sense of urgency to hire drivers and there was a stack of old applications that had not been looked at to set up interviews. He has 9 interviews set up already.

I keep hearing the hold up in hiring is the background check that Grand Rapids is suppose to do.
 
Thanks. Wasn't sure. I really wish they would close the gap between us and Reddaway. I run linehaul out of Springfield and a lot of the freight in our market goes west, but we don't.

Same with our TM, he didn't want to hire cause, he didn't want to layoff (what he said) but, we never slowed down really. everybodies maxed out on hours and tired, dock guys doing swap outs instead of breaking freight etc. The guy just won't listen to anybody

He's a POS. Still waiting for the trailers of new forklifts he told us were just waiting for the YES votes. Told them he was full of s*** but the youngsters were frightened (along with older drivers that knew better) and listened to his bullcrap.

I believe it. I came on in June as a casual because of promises Lyle gave me and it took until December to get everything right. He'd ignore me every time I tried to corner him. No urgency with anything.
