We've lost about 13 at XIN in the last couple weeks to OD. All Linehaul, witg more to come.
Isn't XIN the biggest terminal in the company or something ?
I thought it would be good to start a thread to compile where people are leaving from. From my small terminal 1 took a early retirement and 4 more are going to retire early this year. So far no one has quit yet.
Don't you think that if they would top-out in 12-15 months a lot more would stay? That's an issue that needs to be addressed..top out in over 5 years in the north ( of old ccx) is just ridiculous. When they funded the pension and gave free insurance, then it was worth the wait..now, you can go to other ltl's and start at almost what we top out at..in the South that is.We had 3 get fired and 4 or 5 quit in the last 6-7 months. One went to drive for Wal-Mart, one went back to G&D, one to a local grain hauler, and I'm not sure where the others went. The nearest OD terminals to us are both an hour away in either direction and are both end of the line terminals, so we aren't losing them to OD from my barn just for those reasons I'm sure.
We've hired a buttload of the dock workers, and just hired 2 new drivers as well. Apparently they are going to stay on linehaul for a while and are getting sent to XLA every night, so you can bet it won't be too long before they quit...
Freight flow is probably what he is talking about. They've got to be tops in the amount of freight that goes through there.Oh heck no. XIN is only like 160 doors with 4 sectors.
XLA is one of the biggest, if not THE biggest in the system. Has 7 sectors and close to 250 doors. I don't remember the exact number.
What about XSW? We have a lot of boxes passing through going there. We take them to Tulsa. That's salem, right?Oh heck no. XIN is only like 160 doors with 4 sectors.

You'd be amazed at the amount of crap that goes through LaSalle every night... the average bill count there is between 3000-4000 a night and they are still breaking freight at 7:00 in the morning usually. Indy is a cakewalk compared to that and our Indy guys are usually the first ones back to the barn. I think Salem moves more freight than Indy too.
The closest FAC that I can compare to LaSalle in our area is XCW (Coldwater Michigan). They are about 220 doors and 6 sectors.
SUPPOSEDLY about a 8 guys retiring by the end of the year at xml .. we have had a few 20 year guys up and quit. And two may tap out dew to injuries (one had a stroke at a customers dock)I thought it would be good to start a thread to compile where people are leaving from.

do not agree with it but I am just a **** ant in all this !!!
Until they get you. A lot of people would rather explain a resignation than a termination.
From what terminal?I had 10 years and walked out Thursday.
