13 drivers in lkd and 1 dock super from what i heard.not sure what the p&d/lh ratio is
does delgado got laid off?
It's slow around the mid-west but no talk of lay-offs..... The days of "we've never had any lay-offs" are over folks........ We no longer work for a small family owned company!!!!!!!! R&L is starting to make a dent in the ltl industry as far as being a nationwide carrier......Hey guys, remember these layoffs are also a regional thing. We've got 2 new drivers at my place and they're not Paramount, they're R&L (Gator). They're replacements for a couple of fools who headed for greener pastures, but the point being, they were replaced.
Freight levels here at my terminal haven't really dropped much. The extra board guys are all working and start times haven't been pushed back, at least not yet.
Just something to keep in mind when the doom and gloomers seem to be on the money. What's happening in one region doesn't mean it's happening company-wide.
Three more got laid off today in miami.thats 12 total now.funny i left with 22 stops today.not complaining ,but you would think two with 11 would be better.less hours but one less laid off driver.
What time did you start? 22 stops, thats pretty outrageous!!! You would certainly think 2 drivers with 11 stops would make more sense...

Left the yard at 930 first del. at 1000 and last one at 530.i work a small area but didnt stop all day.quick lunch to make sure no returns.tm goes nuts when we have returns.
I beleive we still work for the best company out there. No, not everything is perfect but show me a company where it is! We are just in unprecedented times right now. Unfortunately we did see a few drivers go but things will turn around. I just hope it does so sooner then later. Do what you can to make this a better place and we will all come out better off in the end. Be part of the solution.
Missed pick ups aren't TM's problem,he can live without pick ups. maybe I've been looking at all wrong,I thought that you already had the money for the del.So the pick-up's should be the priority to generate next days revenue?
thats the way it is at our term, the pick ups come before the del, if a pick up is about to close and a del. is on the way we are to pass the del. up and get the pick up and try to come back and make the del and at the same time save fuel going back 20 miles from making a 50 lb pick up.
