a high percentage of people at my terminal expect the worst case scenario when our new master comes to call, how is it at your terminal. very few are buying the spin from the company and most expect to re-apply for their jobs,lose senority, vacations and possibly pay
Indeed. Cannot believe how they ran this company into the ground. Truly hope they rot for what they did.
i could see c.t. pulling accts to their terminals and letting others go that they don't want, drivers get knocked down to 40 hrs a wk in hopes we leave or make unemployment checks small. drivers who are in for the long haul better pray that drivers bail so they get some hours. i already see a drop in freight, but a drop in drivers as well. i see 90% of vitran employees having new jobs in 2014. the change will do us all good. they want to keep you in the dark because it's all bad, if this was good for us they would be holding meetings explaining the positives to us.
The sales team already had to turn in their updated info so they could start Monday as CT. Got the paperwork on Thursday and had to be back in by today so it could be final for Monday.
sorry pops, i will start to think positive. i can't wait to move to c.t. with my same pay, three wks of vac, b.c.b.s. ins and same start time. i will think happy thoughts.
Dammit "had enough", don't be so negative. There is no way 90% of Vitran employees are going to be gone, you know that so stop stirring it up. Perhaps 40% will be gone but no way 90%. And for us that drive a truck, it is very important to keep all the accounts so we have freight to pick up and deliver. Remember this, if CT had not bought us we would all have been unemployed by Halloween.
