It's official...
The rathole that is the Framingham (Boston) terminal is going away. It will be split into two, half going west to a town called Shrewsbury, and half will move closer, and just south of Boston, in the town of Avon. Construction crews are tearing through these old Roadway terminals like ::shit:: through a tin horn.

If any of you have passed through Framingham, you know how bad it is. Cops getting shot on the property, prostitutes, drugs..

( insert joke here )

They are a great group of freight shakers over there, and hats off to Gordon J for putting such a solid, long lasting crew together over the years. :clap:

Good luck to the boys from Boston!
 
I know my post was a little heartless but after reading legshot's post I was thinking those folks had the option to transfer. If not, I hope the best for them. Lots of jobs up that way. I don't know about anyone else but I like taking my breaks in lower cime areas with the exception of Miami. lol
 
If everyone keeps their job this is great news , that place was a pain in the *** especially when it was dark. Hooking sets in the snow with little or no light, always looking over your shoulder , not to mention just inconvienient to get into.

If not somebody should call Hilda Solis:biglaugh:.....sorry, thread just didn't look right without it.
 
will this good crew keep jobs ???

Hi People...
As it sits now, you put in for what you want, and get it... They are definitely adding to Avon, seeing as most of the crew lives west of Framingham. I can't see regional letting anything happening to this prime crew that will be in place in Shrewsbury... But, sometimes regional gets the 'ole :nutkick: from corporate. We will see. They feel good about it, not only being a move, but an expansion. Shrewsbury will be covering further west, and Avon will be covering further south, taking pressure off neighboring terminals. This is a very complicated area, and seems to be well thought out. They are putting faith in the regional management, which is the best you can get. It is making perfect sense so far, and how often do you see that?

As far as cops being shot on the new properties......

Avon...... 0

Shrewsbury...... 0

Could someone from 080 help me out and let me know were I would stand with 7 years in Shrewsbury. I would hate to commute over an hour one way just to be on the bottom. Lots of people @179 losing there jobs or being forced part time or have to bump a dock guy to keep a job.

I thought they had the hiring banner out at 179. Now they are losing their jobs. That terminal has been looking for drivers on the wrk4estes website for a while. Someone needs to open the door for Elvis and let him shine some light on this subject for us. It makes no sense to me. Freight seems to be picking up.
 
its 088 moving to be a hub and chicopee all going to springfield, with the new sherwesberry taking most of the work, as was told to me you can have my spot to far for me
