Estes | Driver appreciation week?????

Elvis...you say your great GI Company....if
GI had been a better company, they never
would have borrowed money from Estes to
continue operating....Estes started off by
just taking over Texas.....Dallas was paying
60 to 70 thousand dollars a month in just
claims....it was the worst operation I have
ever seen....I can't say anything about any
thing west of Dallas, but if GI West is any-
thing like Dallas was.....they don;t deserve
to exist.....I remember your equipment
coming into Dallas, and pups having their
kingpins actually fall off, and drop on the
yard....not to mention the new equipment
they bought from Skyway.....And you know
what is really funny.....the same people
that worked the shop at GI, are working at
Estes Dallas....Half the Dallas Management
is old GI, which should explain why Dallas has
all these problems.....Most of them are gone,
but RJ is still there....get a grip, and own up
to the fact that GI East....was what you
seem to profess....

There was a GI east?
 
I Sure do miss GI....
Well, from what I hear, it is something to miss. Estes has gone downhill drastically since junior got the gift of a company that he obviously doesn't give a damn about. Wish he would just toss in the company to someone who cares instead of tossing his employees to the hounds. What a pompous, arrogant, self centered, egotistical, socialist minded.........fill in the blanks............

Oh, I guess you can figure out I've changed my mind about Estes. Used to be pro, but with the obvious disregard for the employees - the Big E family has only concern for the ownership family.

Hey Robbie!!!!! How the hell do you think you got where you are? Dad? You're right! Too bad you can't figure out how he became a success. See y'all in the unemployment line soon!!!!

see guys who once cared going to loose good people
 
Its all greed and moving his freight and moving it cheap!! Estes don`t care about your family or you, Rob has more money than he can possibly ever spend. Putting drivers on Thurs and Friday starts really gives a man more time to do things with his/her family when they are at home (on weekends). So keep on cutting people management, you are giving the competition a chance to hire more good quality drivers so they can pass you by even further!!!!!

Just think, Schneider and Swift LTL's. All they have to do is say there going to do it and already they'd be getting our customers to jump ship to them!

Wow, security.
 
From what I understand, Swift already has
an LTL carrier....it is called Central Freight
Lines....they are not doing too well...but
if Schnieder does get into the business, I do
agree....some of the other lines are in very
big trouble...
 
hey roadpig the difference with my new job and estes as far as layoffs are concerned is i fully understood that low seniority= possible layoff, but i still work at least 4 days a week when i am on layoff(which includes my medical and pension coverage). at estes if you are laid off you are with no job. and like i posted earlier the ceo of estes is telling you its gonna be alright not to worry. LOL just spoke with a few of my friends at estes today and guess what Legree and Danny came thru a week or 2 ago spouting the same BS everythings gonna be ok, and then laid off one of each. dock, city, HD, and linehaul. do you think they will be working anytime soon as the economy is doing well like you said. my final decree is this if mthelmet has changed sides then you better wake up man Estes only cares about Estes (as most companies do including the one i work for) but the company i work for doesnt tell me not to worry everythings gonna be alright and then throws you under the bus. goodluck guys i see things getting worse and worse it used to be a great company to work for when "the old man" ran it he at least gasve a crap about his employees Robey only cares about dead presidents laterz
 
I met YOUR Great Rob!!!

I AM NOT GOOD AT PUTTING WORDS IN HOW I FEEL, BUT ALL I READ IS A BUNCH OF CRY BABIES:17: I NEVER MET MR. ESTES BUT I THINK HE DOES REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYONE THAT WORKS AT ESTES. HE DOSN'T HAVE TO HAVE GOOD OR EVEN NEW EQUIPMENT,SAFETY AWARDS AND OTHER THINGS HE DOES FOR US BUT HE DOES. HE PROBALLY THANKS EVERYONE OF USE EVERY DAY FOR THE WORK WE DO FOR THE CO. IT MIGHT NOT BE PERSON TO PERSON BUT AT THE END OF THE WEEK WE ALL GET A PAYCHECK FOR WHAT WE DID FOR THE CO.:clap: :soapbox:

I met your Great leader we talked for two hours he was afraid that the Union was gonna dip into his Profits! it seemed to me he dose'nt care! He was there with :butt kiss: Mr. Pat>M The only thing he talked about was numbers"Billions" he would not speak to the group of employees he wanted to talk one on one it was the day before the big vote and five days after his father had passed!!!The vote at the city Of Industry terminal 509! US FEW & PROUD BRUGHT A SPOILED BILLIONAIRE TO HIS KNEES!!!AND IF HE CARED HE WOULD OF SENT ONE OF HIS FAMOUS HOMEMADE VIDEOS TO YOUR TERMINAL ALONG WITH HIS DUMB HATS! To thank each and everyone of you! :smilie_132: ROBSNIGHTMARE OUT!!
 
$ big rob thanks you all $

Hey Lil Rob, please share with us how Big Rob appreciates his drivers.
Hello Elvis!,
Let me see,i so excited to tell some of the ways that big rob appreciates all of us...he protects us from that mean ole UNION,he works hard everyday to make sure his gigantic profit stays intact that way we can keep a job and thank him,you know its like he gives us a paycheck,we do nothing to earn any of it.He also wanted to tell me to tell everyone to thank them also for giving up most of their life on the road so that he can enjoy a very lavish lifestyle.He's been extremely glad here lately that he could give permanent vacations to some employees.Who could forget the favoritism that extended to some while others are left out...and he never holds a grudge! Also think about many of the good drivers that hav'nt done anything wrong,he rushed to their defense and had them terminated.Think about some of the poor terminally sick employees he's let go,WHAT A GUY!
Some of you should have been around Baltimore years ago when some of us misguided employees where trying to get the union in.Thats when i was sure we were appreciated when big rob and the comedy club team of his hung around like the national guard protecting us.There is not enough time and webspace to keep reminding everyone just what we mean to him$.When its all finally said and done we will all have left a great legacy that big rob and some will talk about and laugh about for years to come$ :nutkick:
 
Read this whole post and i feel you guys, i worked for the company for 10 years and like some of you felt trapped by my time in the company (afraid to start over). but that lying *** child molester looking ceo known as Rob Estes actually had the balls to come to our terminal tells us everything is gonna be alright and then had 3 guys laid off (one guy was on vacation closing on his first home). i agree with the guy about take all the cheesy 2 dollar safety awards, the fancy pay check stubs, and most imprtantly the high doll bs propaganda videos he makes to try and motivate you (lol hey you guys some of you are gonna get laid off and the rest of you survive on 35 hours a week oh and look i have a lotus race car). in the end i could not take it anymore and i left .i struggled for awhile with no bennies or anything (hard to do with a 2 year old) but i am now a very satisfied union employee with one of the largest trucking companies in the US. (no bragging just saying "F" Estes and move on). and to the guy who thinks Rob appreciates you man i feel for you i used to think the same way, make sure you keep some vaseline in your truck, cause he loves guys like you. And finally a moment of silence for a once great company known as GI trucking and to the families and drivers who stood up for their rights and tried to make a difference and got squashed by the big E good luck. laterz

I agree with everything you posted here. But, even I would have left out the part about Robs' appearance. And I and most of Estes West loathes the man and his cronies with all our being. Bur as far as Hee Haw trucking squashing us. I can't think of one driver,dockworker,sales person,supervisor, terminal manager, gardner,vending machine vendor etc. who is no longer employeed with Estes that isn't doing better elsewhere. It's a wonderful thing. I heard a 35 year veteran supervisor was suspended pending termination last week. I hear he was a kick *** supervisor too. I don't know what the reason is. But if someone is fired after 35 years it better be something more than a west coast supervisor not conforming to hill billy mentality. He is much better off than he was a week ago. He doesn't know it yet, but he is. TRUST ME! Elvis out....
 
sorry maybe squashed was a hard word, but he sure did everything he could to make sure the union didnt happen. But i still stand by my opinion on this, he is a child molestor looking kind of guy though (he does fit the profile, besides see how well he takes care of his Estes family think about it LOL). Laterz

oh and lil Rob you are so right i never thought about how much big rob did for me (expensive and never ending increases on the medical, changing my lunch from 30 min to 60 min to 90 min if i didnt watch my paycheck hours, cost of living increases changed to performance raises (my favorite one), and so on and so on.....) now that you put me straight i feel better


:nutkick: :hysterical: :biglaugh: :rofl2:
