I worked at vitran for 6 yrs. untill last sept. it's as bad as it get's. First with the pjax deal it's as if pjax bought vitran instead of the other way around (there was a rumor that vitran could'nt come up with the rest of the cash by a certain date, and control of co. went back to pjax, I don't know) Everything is run the same way they did at pjax, no ot till after 45 hrs. used to be 40. Everything is force loaded and nobody leaves untill you have at least 10 stops, or the trlr. is full ,which isn't to bad except by then you have been there 2 hrs. waiting on it. They have a few early am rts. they load during the nights they are the only ones that get out early. Junk trucks, I used to be close to term. on my rt. so I had to get something from the shop that was waiting to be fixed to drive that wasn't to broke, cause all the good trucks went to farther out rts. I had the same truck everyday when it was old vitran.
Broken down plt. jacks and not enough of them,If you had a later start they were out of plt jacks,and if you ask dock forman or dispatch for help, they all say the same thing 'do the best you can' (you here that a lot there) same way with 2 wheelers. Every day is the same , late start out, nothing is in the order you need it in, you have either frt. with no bill or bills with no frt. then you get half the trlr.MT and they hit you with p/u's which we all have been thru but they dont want you to block it all up in case you got time to try to del. it later.then then after 10 hrs. or more you do a switchout except you have to wait 45 min for the trlr. to get MT, never any MT trlrs.I could go on but Im running out of room. I can only speak for the indy term but from what I heard there all the same.By the way i worked at milan for 5 yrs. before going to vitran.
