Maybe they're gonna issue another raise!

They will need to. The sooner they announce a plan for a summer raise the better. Even though the raises have been small, they are great for morale and give the guys something positive to look forward to and talk about.
 
We got the same thing in store. Is this anti union stuff ? Or is it actually going to be business related ?

Maybe this is the next step in the lean journey ?

Maybe this is when they explain that they are kicking all the CSRs to the curb and that we are going to be responsible for the check in process and faxing off the billing to china or wherever ?

Maybe they have given up ? They can't hire anybody and the drivers and mechanics that they do have; hate them so much they are organizing.

Maybe they are just gonna close the gates and be a brokerage firm ? They wouldn't have to worry about drivers or mechanics or CSRs at all.

Maybe we are getting new uniforms. Bright pink. With safety orange trim.

Maybe we are getting new trucks ? These Cascadias are made of plastic and full of electrical problems. They wont last like the Sterlings did.

Maybe they just want to talk and say, hello ?

Maybe it's just another road trip and we got picked for a visit ?

Maybe it's all a plot to get you all riled up over nothing ?

Let's not get to out of hand with that. They can barely run a trucking company. Remember when they wanted to get into air freight and the daggone plane crashed ?

I think " pinky and the brain " would be far more threatening. In terms of global domination.

He's much more engaging in person. Very animated. Always seems so stale in the videos. Came across completely differently. A very good speaker. Used a depth of experience to back his points and relate directly to the audience; sales, drivers, dock and mechanics. Extremely entertaining.

Mostly just a recap of past events.

Quarterly results.

The company is growing. More drivers. More equipment. More doors.

Safety + lean = promised land.

All the complaining about the tires will result in new drive tires. I guess if drivers scream loud enough, they do listen. When we see them on the tractors, we will know for sure.

Then some drivers wanted to complain to the president of the company about local routing. He don't know where Groveport or Grove City are, what the difference is, or why you are telling him about it. He's not your dispatcher. And there are about 100 steps between them. Crying about your 15 minute diversion when their is some zone driver, somewhere in the country, doing 400 mile days to get 3 deliveries and one pick-up is a little weird. We all understand that sometimes routes get crazy. Keeping it to a minimum is all we can ask. But that don't mean we have to ask it of the freaking president ! GEEZ people.

Really. No bombshells. No inside scoop. No drama.

And got paid for every minute. It was fantastic.
