I look for them to use more and more contractors. This way they wont create anymore new bids.....
You are right my friend. We cut our rates so much . That is how they can make money. See them all over taking our freight.
Heard a rumor that most company teams will be gone in jan. All team bids will go to contracters,and remaining company teams will run wild.Has anyone else know or heard anything?
I can only hope for new bids added at my barn.. The way it is now the higher the bill count has become the more extra board they add.. In a sense they have created a three board system.. More and more freight is covered by PT and extra board.. I know management does not care for most of us regular bid guys but I mean come on.. I have 4 guys below me on the line board and I garentee I make the least amount of money.. We have dock guys getting six days a week running line runs?? While I have to be happy with what work they give me.. Is this right or fair I think not but there is not much I can do about it so Ill just get on here and ask any of you if you think this is right?? I am about to go get a second job cause this is getting to be kind of a joke.. I am on time, I do good work meaning I get done in a timely manner.. I even try and kiss little butt, but nothing seems to get me a reward of a little extra money in my pocket?? If the work was not there I would understand but we have guys making 80,000.00 a year there first year of driving a truck and I can barely get out of the 50 k range?? All I can say is what a joke !!!
It's pretty bad when employees spread this kind of false info, even worse when they believe it.

Did you not read my post correctly? I said I heard a rumor not fact? I have heard this from drivers and two dispatches! I hope it is not true,because I have alot to lose if it is! Your rude reply is why I dont post here much.
Its not false info my friend. Why do you think we are so busy all of a sudden. Answer cut rates. Why Have they not Hired any line drivers out of my barn in more than a year. Answer Hiring all contracters. Question how can they lower their rates and still make money. Answer Contracters. And I got some arizona ocean front property . If your interested Guardrail. You figure it out
