Damn ... You beat me to it. We must think alike.
Great minds think alike.

You can choose to deny that driver's situation from 1000 miles away, that's fine. I'll admit, the DAL terminal/region is the envy of CGO region drivers, with us being expected to run over weight and over hours and all... So it may sound foreign to you.. But, what you cant deny is that the company is circumventing its own disciplinary action procedure.I'm not buying it. Sorry.

Remember a few years back when Atlanta got like 2 inches of snow and a little ice? Shut down the whole terminal. But they made us folks in the north run like that everyday. So your statement about things being run different based on geography is spot on.
That's just the nature of the beast between areas of the country, though. Down south they don't have any plows or salter equipment to deal with snow and ice.
Then on the opposite side of the spectrum, we get people from Colorado and Wyoming over here in the midwest that can't believe we close down schools after ONLY a foot of snow... lol
Don't think its just drivers Rider. Every dept will probably feel this. I think it might be another trimming the fat layoff. The last one they had was people that didnt like coming to work , had a high point total , not producing , riding the clock , things like that.
Yes that is true...are lay offs never go by senority...they go buy poor job performanceNot trying to drum up votes here guys, but was reading your thread because I heard today on my route from a Saia driver that they had some layoffs. Is that true what I read in the first page that they layoff hand picked people, and do not do it by seniority? Just asking. Thanks.
Yes

According to the RAT who is 60, he only get 30 - 35 hrs a week.Well let's say there's a 60 year old fellow that has been thère for the better part of his life peddling freight. Then at the same barn you have a 30 year old fellow who has been there just a few years but for obvious reasons moves a little faster and can in most cases out perform the older fellow. Lets say they both put in a good effort every day. Is it really the right thing to do in a case such as this to lay off by performance?
