Things slow here at 005. I have worked on average of two days per week and, then only called after lunch

 

[HillBilly Frog]

I told ya wrong wormie. Six laid off in line haul.

the amazing thing is that most city drivers are maxing out on hours each week
yet management tells us freight levels are way down
now either they don't know what they are doing or they are just not hiring additional drivers
probably both
and i believe this holds true for most domiciles
seems they are holding to that adage
"do more with less"

Again things slow here at 005. Steady but slow. Not working but maybe one to two days a week.
Talked to a friend of mine that works for FedEx, he said things are slow for them here also.
