welcome to the way central is run.our SCM just changed the bids this week.The employees don't want to change their start times. We are committed to the bid. Commitment. That's another value, right?

Now you will understand some of the rants that have come from the Central drivers on these message boards.beerfd said:We have never had to deal with bid changes. I'm starting to see some of the things you central guys are talking about. There is a lot of tension in the air at LDA.
They are pretty much going to be told to stop any policy infractions they may be doing, insure the operations numbers stay positive, make sure NO pick-ups are missed, loads closed on time etc.beerfd said:All of the Fos's are having a meeting with M on Saturday and the new changes are coming on Monday. Should be interesting.
I wonder if his reship will close on time, or if that will go all to hell just like XCW`s did!Now you will understand some of the rants that have come from the Central drivers on these message boards.

Last but not least... police you guys more often, Hold all of you guys accountable and keep writing you guys up for policy infractions.
I don`t see why the 2 hr backup is such a surprise, end of month , end of quarter... It is not like me to speak against another driver but I think your boy sitting in the truck till 14 are up is A COMPLETE IDIOT! I still don`t get the point, its not like he`s going to make more money doing that. Up north here a short day ( anything less than 12 ) is a Godsend!well, i was listening to the night time /h drivers. they are not to happy with the 2hr rollback. they know that the other terminals will just throw the freight on the trailers and go home. to bad upper management dont do anything bout that. some of them scms might need to go else where to spread their dumbness.
as for mr marty. it will be intresting how his fos's respond. i really dont see anything happening with them. maybe they will learn how to #2 lsx driver that he needs to hurry a little. he thinks that he owns the con-way truck and will not come out of it till his 14 is up. hopefully mr marty will do something bout this small problem
anyway, i am not scared of our new terminal manager. the people who are afraid are not doing their job.
have a good friday everyone, specially you mr marty
I'm trying to keep this thread interesting, but there is not that much to report. I do know that M told an FOS that he(the FOS) was sub-standard, or something like that, and that he would not be around very much longer. They're having a big management meeting on Saturday. You think some people will be let go? It is the end of the month. Oh yeah, and another mandatory driver meeting on Monday. I wonder if this mandatory meeting will be about the stuff that didn't get done in the last mandatory meeting???
beerfd,
You're doing a great job entertaining us with the "Marty minute" thread.
I'm sure we all get a kick out of reading the LDA headline news.
Post some of the Positive stuff he does...like...uh...washing his hands after his tinkle.
Anyone get star cards yet?
We have a mandatory meeting on Monday. Is this about the 2007 raise? Or is this to tell how bad we are doing (LDA)? I know M has pissed off a lot of guys by making them work later. These are the lazy people. And a few LOI's have been given out.
YES, lord martin is not bias. And is a big believer in peer pressure. So If everyone keeps everyone else in line,you will hardly know he's there. hope I made sense?Now you will understand some of the rants that have come from the Central drivers on these message boards.

They are going to hear the Marty riot act because they TOO will be held accountable.
Our dock is a lot dirtier than others. Haven't seen M. Johnny told us that there were big changes coming. There always big changes coming. He did say we could see some new start times but, if it were too broad then we could re-bid the city. This is a big city operation. Nothing M has done has effected me yet. Everything still the same. My time is coming. I am sure.Oh yeah and just to catch you guys up....Marty email some guys up north in Coldwater to take some pictures of the Dock up there....and how nice and clean it was and how they windexed everything up...I dont need to see a picture...I could care less...A dock is for Work its going to get dirty...granted our dock is probably dirtier than most but what do you expect when youre supposed to dunnage everything up?
Now they want to do away with a lot of our dunnage...saying we got to much....last time that happened we ran out of dunnage everytime you turned around...I remember one time we had to send a load of paint out not a single piece of dunnage.
