Latest word from our SCM in TER, bid pushed back to mid May, to take effect June 1st. In other words, when the next scheduled bid was due to happen.

Sorry, I wrongly assumed that was the normal bid cycle.

 

[socal]

they felt a need for re-bid because so many people here are not working

 

[slim6596]

From what I hear, the current bids were put together according to estimated freight levels with Economy (National) freight the variable. They were not sure exactly how much freight Economy would bring to the table after the merger. Some lanes are lighter than anticipated, some are heavier. I was informed that the upcoming bid should (stress on should) more accurately reflect ongoing freight levels, because the higher ups will have had the extra time to evaluate freight flow in all lanes.

I, for one, will reserve judgement/opinion until I see the new bid sheet.

 

[HILLBILLY]

I was told we should bid beginning April 1st.

 

[slim6596]

They originally planned on an earlier bid, but pushed it back.

 

[HILLBILLY]

Now I was told today were bidding in June.

 

[crackerjack]

Day is re-biddind next week

 

[slim6596]

Bid the middle of May to become effective the 1st of June is what we have been told.
