Since the change of Ops, we had a big shake up of management, all the old ones gone and all the young ones put into new positions. My question to all is:
Did this happen at your Barn? And hows it working out for you?
We got people who were dock supers and clerical personnel working relay, and I gotta tell you that they don't have a clue.Don't get me wrong, they're not bad people, just don't know how to do their job.
Here's an example. Was at a bed point last night, and the only man there. They paid me 2.5 layover, then dispatched me instead of waiting another 2hrs for their freight. Sent me to the first terminal with a set of empties to a terminal 93 miles away (south). That terminal, dropped me out, gave me a big boy empty and sent me back north to a terminal 50 miles a way. They inturn switch me from one box to another box, empty again, and send me 190 miles south. Well, as pass within 1 mile of our cheshire terminal (107), that almost always has freight to go to us or 135, I proceed to go to 190 carlstadt, and yes finally pick up a load. I proceed to my terminal 120 stroudsburg, 83 miles away and feel the satisfaction of making the company money. 416 miles, 333 empty, one load, and 4 terminals. Well I always say we make money by accident.
