XPO | well.....I'm out.....

It wasn't easy but I jumped today after 11 years......I went to yrc linehaul.....not perfect to be sure...but good enough for now........they seem really laid back so far.....I made a lot of good friends at Conway and I am bummed that I had to leave. ...but the job just stressed me out and pissed me off.....I just could not get over rules and policies before customers. ...and worrying about the small stuff when big stuff like line haul is broken. .....for all the good people still there I hope it turns around. ....I know Conway didn't need me.....but they do need drivers like me.....I got it done.....and I am taking my experience with me.... and I am afraid I won't be the Last. ..

Driver. You are doing the right thing.
 
The worst part about leaving for me was the co workers I couldn't take with me. Some of the hardest working best damn drivers ive ever worked with. Too bad they have to go into work every day with 10+ years seniority feeling like they are still on their 90 day probation period, every move examined, every mistake a fireable offense, etc. Man that's the sad part. Con way was built by the ones getting treated the worse, that's the thanks they get for building a company. Hold your head up brother and be thankful your walking away from a train wreck in the making and pray for the ones you are leaving behind.
 
They can't see it! Why is that hard to understand? They are not TruckMen like Leland James, who understood Freight, Customer needs, and employees. These clowns are Accountants, they only see numbers on a screen, flow charts and spread sheets, a little tweek here, a little tweek there. They don't care that behind those numbers are actual people, employees with families, customers with customers of their own and so on. Just numbers! All of those numbers add up to FAT bonuses for those guys, that's why they can only see one quarter at a time. There will be NO success in their strategy for the long term of this company. Its a "scorched earth" strategy, get all they can now and to hell with the future. By the time they are done and this company is on its knees they will be long gone with their bank accounts overflowing on the backs of the employees. Just look at all they have taken over the years, Pension, Vacation Time, Compensation, Health Care Coverage, theres more. No one to stop them!! Who's the Sucker?
 
then we only need 7 more guys like him with a brain . a bad day here is probobly better than his best day at the c word .
 
This thread is right on time .. Reminds me of a boneyard for x-convicts to 'b--ch' on the way out the gate , this company was sold as the greatest ltl on the planet until the mounting pressures of being harassed and worked like a dog finally caught up to all the drivers who decided in good faith to move on ... Sad to say but the 'Conway Victim' wall of shame is ever growing !
 
oh yeah , brother , and they are having a super hard time getting anybody to come here . Whats not to love? SC's in my region are putting out raise after raise and still no one wants this BS.
I don't wanna leave . Im determined on principle to stay and make it a better place .

Good luck on your new journey. I hope YRC treats you good.

you will lose that battle before it begins, oops... you already did.

But isn't that the point of this thread ? People having put umpteen years into this place only to be hit with the truth so hard they have no choice but to accept it ?

You are misguided at best. Pride is one of the seven deadly sins for good reason.
