Yes, they are still doing safety celebrations. And, for each time your terminal passes its goal, their budget for the celebration increases.

You should really contact your HR person or safety manager. Even in a small barn, you should have had a few breakfasts and cookouts by now, especially at the one year safety.
Mr. Leathers , the director of safety was recently let go.

My experience is they are let go because they are doing their job to well, therefore costing them way to much money. That sound familar to anyone?

I watched the safety dept go out the door at every carrier I ever worked for. They were the first on the chopping block at cost reduction time.
If memory serves me correct YRC just canned a bunch of safety kiddies.
Wow! I knew Leathers way back when. He was by the books and a good guy. Loss to XPO. Not right now, but in time he will thank them for letting him go. He will be a great asset to someone else and he will wonder why he did'nt leave on his own.
A lot of people put up with a lot because they are afraid to speak up and step out of their comfort zone/the unknown. I wish him all the best.
Honestly, no one really cares at our barn.

If the no-compete-clause is triggered when you quit , maybe you get out of it by being fired?

I hope that he doesn't come to my company, I met him on a couple of occasions, never had any problems with him but not impressed by him. In my opinion, all of the Old CON-WAY management needs to go. If they were foolish enough to follow Dougie's agenda , they are no different.

I did and from what I see we made more profit in 2016 then we did in 2015 and we moved less freight to do it.

I don't think that was the case here. We have the participation trophy of safety policies, and we've moved further and further from individual accountability for drivers. I remember one of the first things he did was claim he was going to cut accidents and injuries in half within a year. Anyone who says that knows nothing about fleet safety or the history of our safety culture.
Let's spin the wheel and see who takes his place, I guess.
Maybe you knew another Michael Leathers. The one I know is a d!¢£. That may not be the most educated response, but I've had bad experiences with him.
He was not a career safety guy. He stayed in one department til he pissed enough people off to move to the next. He was a very smooth operator though, hard to pin him down on anything.

Generally that is true the way most are written. Why anyone would agree to a non-compete even if fired, is beyond me. Unless they agree to pay your salary during the clause period. And I don't know of any company that would do that.

I forgot all about that. We all just laughed. And the reality is that those numbers probably didn't change at all. And they are the most expensive of all costs to the company. Accidents and injuries must be reduced. Fatigue and carelessness need to be combated. I wonder what the wonder stud will whip up to make the improvements he demands in those areas. One thing about Jacobs, you'll make it happen or he will replace you with someone that will make it happen.
