I've read on here and heard drivers at our barn talk about rumors of a wage increase next year. In January or April I think the stories go. I just received word from a trusted source that XAB was visited by none other than new Executive VP Tom Clark today who conducted "town hall meetings" with groups of 6 to 7 drivers at a time. They were told about how much money the company was now making thanks to implementation of the handhelds and safestack. At the end of one session he asked if there were any questions. A driver asked if there would be a $3.00 an hour increase next year since the company was doing so well. He laughed and said he didn't know if anyone was going to get a raise. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I hope they use your calculator to figure my bonus.. ill be rich.. i WILL be a shiney marble..
 
Why don't you guys worry about doing your jobs and collecting your paycheck and let management worry about theirs. You don't know if they'll make bonus this year, you don't know if they've made bonus for the preceding three years or longer. And if they make their bonus, perhaps you could try being happy for them instead of being angry. The company is giving stuff back to us, why shouldn't management also be able to benefit from the company getting back into profits? Who made some of you judge and jury as to what management should earn or not......it's none of your business.

fos is FAR from management,a majority are clueless and like i said and youn know,they have WAY less work,and WAY less hours,good for YOU you're getting a decent bonus THIS year,i know last year you got nothing,we got about $200,WHOOHOO,now you'll get $5000 and we'll get $500,little different i think,drivers run the company,you'll see,scales will be rebalanced in the not to distant future
 
I'm happy for the fos's that earn this bonus. Sadly, the majority of them say "swing those two trailers together and you can take your load/mt home", and the driver figures out how to fit two 55 cube trailers to fit together with 0 damages. Sure, I get it, it's our job to know how to load trailers, drive in snow, etc. But this bonus system makes the fos's that don't understand the reasoning behind certain number benchmarks, or implement them the wrong way even more obnoxious than they already are.
 
There are some FOS's that actually work, will jump on a lift and help swing a trailer.....then there are the majority I have run into....the ones that this is their first "real job" because they were not qualified to work in Mc Donalds, the ones that give you the deer in the headlights look when you ask them a question.....FOS should be a part time position in my opinion....

WOW! Must be one. Why is fair that management gets a bonus from the very backs of the employees who are earning them the bonus? Why is it fair that management voted themselves a 350-450% bonus while not giving back ALL that they took from us? Please tell me why? I work hard for this company and have for years yet have money taken away just so you can have yours? When someone in management has worked their way up from dock worker to the hard earned position maybe I'd have respect for them but upper management just doesn't have a clue what a little hard work and grease under the nails is. So yes it is our business! Managements bonus rate is much higher than our bonus rate.
