Drivers , good drivers are supposed to be hard to come by. Sooooo why on earth would you cap the newer drivers and not give decent raises to markets that are smaller , but still have a hard time keeping drivers?

Completely agree. I'm an FOS that's on the way out and that's what my SCM told us. Thought you guys would find this helpful

I appreciate the heads-up.
I'm not sure how FOS's can justify staying at Con-Job.
It's a dead-end job and you guys are constantly getting fed sh!t sandwiches from your bosses and the people you have to supervise.
Best of luck to you on your new endeavor.
Smart move on your part.
 
They think that if one barn gets 7% and the next gets 2%, then we'll never know..don't they know everybody knows everything as soon as it happens.?? Too much social media..I knew they would mess this up.

You spent all this time getting to top pay, and now you want to leave? The cameras are a non-issue..trust me. The lean does nothing to you, probably puts more money in your pocket. And dock work pays you 25/hr. And your home everyday. What gives?

By the way , do your pay raises correspond to the drivers? If so was it as weak as drivers raises?

Just came in and I heard drivers got a dollar an hour. My raise was supposed to be 2% as an FOS. Which would've put me at 1050 a week. An extra 23 bucks a week I think

There are alot of things in the past that were non-issues that are now issues. The cameras will be huge issues at some point. But OD has them anyway so it will be an issue for him there as well.

The biggest reason I want to leave is the fact that my barn has no good runs. I don't know what kind of runs you have down south Beer, but the barn I'm at has only one good mileage run and you have to drive through Chicago traffic to get there. The OD terminal here has nothing but long runs and there's no dock work.

I'm sick of the culture of this place. I'm sick of the condescending college-idiot management that always has a ****ty attitude about everything and treats their drivers like dirt.

I'm sick of the dock. I don't mind running a forklift now and then, but working 5-6 hours a night on a crowded dock with a bunch of scumbag dock-workers that don't have the slightest idea how to load freight is getting to be ridiculous.

I'm sick of LEAN. All it does is suck the common sense out of everything. I don't need an SWI telling me how to do something that anyone with common sense should know how to do. And honestly I don't want to work with the idiots that think this garbage is a good idea.

The first 2-3 years I worked here, it was decent. Back then, the dispatchers and managers were former drivers and knew what this job entailed and how to do it. They listened to their drivers and took their opinions into account.

Honestly the only reason I've stayed this last year is because my wife was pregnant. now that the baby is here and the medical bills are paid, I'm free to leave.

But the REAL REASON I don't want to stay here... I've seen how far downhill it's gone in just the last couple years, and I'm honestly scared to think what it will be like in another couple years...

Yeah, it's great to be on top pay and be making bank, but I don't know how much longer I can take it...
