XPO | Rumor Mill: It's going again!

The “Rumor Mill” never stops, so I’m asking what have y’all heard!

Heard today that XPO WAS giving a sizable raise in the future but tied with it overtime would be pushed back to 50+ hours. Anybody else? Will XPO employees let it happen?
 
What is overtime I run linehaul

In the southern region there is no overtime until the driver reaches 50 hours. None of this after 8 business. What makes it even more sad is we are paid about $2 a hour less than our Northern Brothers. As far as a raise is concerned we are hearing no rumors of any kind.
 
I haven't heard that rumor but I truly believe if they do try to do this it will happen. The people here are already have been condition to all sorts of pay cuts in so many ways. There's just so much going on now and people now just act like its the norm. Maybe not at your place but there is enough on here that knows. Even though we've taken some big hits here over the years the pay is still not too shabby (I know) but some of these people it's the best paying job that they ever had so guess what. They wouldn't say s<>t if they had a mouth full. Two kinds of people here People who live to work and People who work to live.

For reference, north of the border the company pays us after 8 hours. But legally they do not have to pay us until after 9 hours worked.
 
I think in nj it's it after 40 hours except for the food industry and the transportation industry. There is a poster at my terminal from the employment dept of nj I think I'll check tonite

Only 50 ? Are you nuts ? They want rid of us. And that would only be a pay cut for northern and western employees. It'll be 60 hours for OT. So that the entire company takes a cut. And of course. You will be forced to clock at 59.5 or face discipline/termination. Think of all the money Jacobs can make taking it straight from us.

Nobody is doing anything other than putting in applications elsewhere. The time to stand together was 20 years ago. Way to late and people are to old for failed attempts at heroics. It is what it is.
 
Like I said, gossip, just wondering if there’s validity, at my barn! Don’t see it myself, I believe XPO would try it!

FedEx is getting loads of drivers from us. Better pay. Fewer hours. No drama worrying about being sold off to the next billionaire that wants to get his money out of this. Quite a few going to OD.

Which this is all great news. Since the competition are taking bigger shares of the market with their staffed fleets and bigger barns, it means there will be less for XPO and we are already unable to do much of anything right. And no need to worry about lay offs. Since this lose a driver and lose the freight seems to even out. We take full trailers out into the city and bring full ones back. " x " number of drivers gets you " x " number of trailers.
 
Most major Ltl companies are (stocking up on Driver's for future expansion and growth.
I have noticed that more and more with a lot of time with Con-way/XPO are jumping ship and going to OD and other Companies. The Overtime issue if enacted will send more northern Driver's out the door.


It's just the shot in the arm that the rest of the LTL industry needs. Jacobs is running this into the ground and everyone is profiting except those of us who stay around. Everyone wins but us.

Lol....those northern and western boys will survive with ot after 50.....Hell, down in the south we've survived off it, well...... FOREVER. (except when we didn't get ot at ALL.)

Only difference is the attitude of the northern and western boys. To many other opportunities. Maybe we just got a little more fight in us. We did win that little pissing war for control of the country, way back in the day, didn't we ?

I'm sure all those guys received their ot on their checks too.:grouphug:
 
You know I here a lot at our barn well I hope we get sold off. I'm not so sure think about it. We've already been beat down,demoralized,facilities and equipment run down.It would take a lot of $$$$ for someone to come in here and get us back in tip top shape again. Then again it mite just be a bargain for someone. Just thinking. Ha
