XPO | Haz mat spills

You have to pay for quality. That hurts the bottom line. EBITDA. Shareholders. No leadership ( that requires thinking things through: actions have consequences - decisions have results. )

I know! Let's do what Old Dominion does. Let's do what YRC does. Let's do what ABF does. Let's do what FedEx does. Let's roll out dockworkers without thinking it through. And , let's not properly train them!

Yeah , experience is overrated. The drivers jobs are easy , there's not much to it , we'll bring anybody off the street , pay them less , and get great results!

These new drivers are no better than them temporary part timers. Bottom bin drivers always hooting and hollering about no good line runs, yet they destroy freight all night. There is nothing new under the sun.
 
I would think that if your on the dock carelessly wrecking things, especially hazmat freight they would be firing repeat offenders, or at the very least writing them up.

Nope. We deal with a dock guy with over 80 damages to his name.... still loading.
 
We just hired 4 pt dock workers. 1 has already been a no call/no show all this week. 2 of them pretty much do nothing, but walk around. FOS will kick a dock worker off a lift to give someone a lift, while keeping 2-3 guys on OT working the dock. "We hired dock workers to save money". Seems to be working well so far!
 
All of the issues mentioned in all of the previous posts plus others that I know about cause me to believe we are effed and a short lived company. Today, at my sic we returned a 17 skid order, after the customer inquired whether we could take it. We picked it up and 2 1/2 hours later return it to their dock. SOMEONE, ANYONE, please buy XPO LTL and turn it around! Otherwise, we’re done!!
We are a shell of what we used to be. Before we bent over backwards to satisfy our customers, Now it seems we don't want or need them unless we are getting Top Dollar for their freight... I think it started before the take-over from XPO...
