Any communication on closings? Heard XIN team members have been emailed to stay home. Wish communications were better here at CCX....oops sorry!
 
Im sure XGH will be also seeing 80/94 and I-65 are shut down till further notice...
 
From what i have been told by fellow chicagoland drivers,We are up and running in chicagoland...XME,XBV,XDP and XJO are all confirmed to be running full operations as of now...
 
Now if they only shut Chicagoland down..I would gladly work Saturday VS working today...
 
Looks like a good day or two to shut down midwest/northeast terminals. Wind chill is dangerous out there!
Did someone REALLY think dock doors/aprons weren't necessary?
 
Xla was open today got there today at 8:00am to try to start trucks and pull spotters to shop then they decided not to run city operation got stuck working the dock breaking long boxes till 7pm tonight some guys left said they don't care give me a point or whatever let me tell ya I'm young and in very good shape and today kicked my butt I really hope tommorrow is better I pity anyone running lasalle tommorrow nite good luck
 
Well looks like freight gonna be backing up in the Midwest and when things reopen we gonna get slammed in the east and west Yea overtime coming lol !! Positivity Money Beerd my in my Pocket thanks to the Snowman :) !!!!
 
Why would things be backed up? If there was no city operation and alot of customers closed, its no different than a 3 day weekend.

Well, most of the country was still operating, and picking up freight going your way. All that freight sits and then has to move with todays and/or tomorrow's freight. They'll use this weather occurance as an excuse for any delays.

11 hours on the patio in super freezing weather?!? Hells no!!! Young and in shape or not there's no excuse for supervisors to let/make you work that long in that cold of weather. Doing that **** makes an old man out of anyone fast!

He forgot to mention that con-way realized the dock was cold, and provided those gas fired heaters, and the FOS's were running coffee to the DSR's and ensuring that they were keeping warm. They were also allowed breaks to go the break room to get warmed up!
