since you called me out by name, your right I will defend PJAX's positions just like for whatever reason you defend CT's positions, I felt PJAX was a good company they had their problem but all companies do, then when Vitran purchased PJAX it was over all good for me at least, we continued to run under PJAX's rules and policies (vacation, OT, 2 week hold back etc) and over the last couple of years I saw the writing on the wall but keep drinking the koolaide and was hoping for a miracle, that Chris Keylon knew what he was doing, looking back I should have moved on a long time ago, the company was to far gone when he came aboard, but I was comfortable and enjoyed my job, I admit I went to CT with a chip on my shoulder carried over from when I worked for manny at a different operation years ago (nankin transportation) which for those of you that don't know was a company he formed to get rid of the O/O in CT's line haul, (in the Detroit area) as soon as they were gone so was nankin, I had some irons in the fire and was just waiting for one to get ready to be pulled when I was forced over to CT and as soon as one got ready I moved on, I like train have moved on out of the LTL industry and am very happy where I landed.
You have never met me (at least I don't think you have) or even communicated with me, but yet you think you know me. I live and work in "uncle" mannnys ( that's what some people refer to him as in the this area) back yard (so to speak) and see first hand a lot of the underhanded ways he does business, like it or not he is a not very well liked man in southeastern Michigan, even now when I talk to customers or people not familiar with the LTL industry and I tell them my prior company was purchased and run out of business by central transport, I add the same guy who owns the ambassador bridge and they say "ohh that guy no wonder you left I wouldn't want to work for him either.
I have though of leaving this site and may very well in the near future, with the exception of a couple of people anyone I want to keep in contact with I can do over on FB, and if I knew the real names of those few I could probably keep up with them over there as well. So 42 go on keep toting the CT line and trying to build up their reputation, when manny decides its time to re-brand CT again you will be left standing at the gate wondering what happened, he's done it in the past and I wouldn't put it past him to do it again, I just won't be there when he does.
PREACH!!!
