8.5% more drivers from 12/14 to 12/15

But that's tough to quantify...have to look at line haul routing, avg trailer weight and cubes...serious math there.

I'd say being down 1500 YTD isn't too bad when you can make 300+ in a day.

Also the weight per shipment difference was minimal...and light shipments doesn't usually mean smaller footprint in trailer.

When you're the one making the lion's share of income in a household 1500 is a big deal.

I'd also say it's a little presumptuous on your part to say what's acceptable or not in another guy's finances. You're not me.

Here's a tissue

Compared to being laid off...down 1500 over 4 months isn't that bad. Glass half full

Were you picked on in high school and feel the need to act this way now? Trying to build your confidence while remaining completely anonymous? No way you work at OD the way you talk to OD employees on this board.

It's called sarcasm -- stop being so thin skinned.

I've been called way worse things on here compared to how I talk to all of you. You guys go straight for the name calling -- pretty juvenile.

I'm just here to show that the world doesn't revolve around you and your little driver problems.

When it's actual company data...yeah I believe it

What I hear from some drivers here is purely anecdotal..."it's slow in my terminal"

"I'm down 1500"

None of that means anything in the big picture company wide -- overall we are up

Wait...so you actually think these numbers are false and OD's business is down overall?

Do you talk to the warehouse personnel or the decision makers at these companies...big difference. The people loading your trucks assess things and filter their opinions based on how it affects them personally. That's what I see a lot of on here as well. The folks actually making the decisions and seeing the big picture (all the information) not just the little sliver that's right in front of them usually have great things to say about OD and love doing business with us.

I've seen guys like you all over... They get out of the truck and think they're king ::shit:: of turd mountain and forget where they came from. When multiple people have a problem with your attitude, guess who the problem is, it's not them.

My guess is if he were caught at work talking to any of us the way he does he'd get his walking papers pronto so he takes out his frustrations here where he can be anonymous. Kinda seems cowardly if you ask me.

Please don't misunderstood me. Have you and wife thought about doing an inventory on looking at cutting back on or cutting out some things that may not be necessary. . We all can as far as that goes. It's not what we gross ,but how we handled the net. Again not trying to be smart , just a thought when we have less coming in. God bless

Oh sure we have and we try to save where we can. 3 kids makes it a challenge to hold on to your money. Don't get me wrong, we aren't starving for sure, but I'm like the company. I want to make more this year than I did the year before, not less.
 
Guys just be happy your not at this :shit:hole of a company UPS Freight. Guys paying "dues" to those criminals up north to protect their jobs meanwhile owner ops and contractors are running wide open.
