Tough to believe they are going to shut us down if they are starting to give us raises. Just talked with my boy in Chicago and they got a 1.60 a hour more. Why throw money if you didn't have good intentions.
Were they given dates of when it will be on their checks, and has it showed on the check yet? Keylon lied once about raises happening in sept to keep us here for CT. He will lie again to keep everyone from leaving now. After monday i know of drivers who never once said they are quiti g who have several apps out now.
Also. I want to know what is top out pay. This buck and change can be taken as easily as it was said to have come.
Rule number one in Vitran: DO NOT TRUST VITRAN.
When I spoke to a CT driver the other day. He told me CT was handing out raises and they were hiring 25 dockworkers, because tbey were going to be getting more freight. Probably our freight.Tough to believe they are going to shut us down if they are starting to give us raises. Just talked with my boy in Chicago and they got a 1.60 a hour more.

they will take care of their own first, very few if any from vitran will work for CT
I want to keep this thread at the top. I am aggressively seeking employment with reputable truck lines, however, as I have said many times, I have no desire to start another job for the sake of leaving. Matty, Keylon, my TM- no one gives two craps if I stay or if I go. I am a number that moves freight. This V/CT deal working out well means more to my reality than it does Matty's or Keylon's.
Nothing would make me happier to SEE, not hear, real progress in the company and my pay/benefits. Hopefully my last day of full time truck driving takes place at Vitran, Central Transport, or whatever they name it.
At the same time though I have to, for my sake, keep it real.
There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know.
Luci you are doing what I would advise everyone do...have a plan B
Luci dont overlook private carriers that service retailers, grocery stores or gas stations some of those pay quite well. I have an offer from a private fleet that services a large retail chain, it's not an easy decision to make.
Changes are coming Mr. Moroun is used to making money so I doubt he will tolerate quarterly losses of $15 million for very long.
