We can only hope that this comes to pass. Too many of the old guard brass still making decisions in my opinion. They should have walked all operations VPs to the gate on day one.

You have that handful of greedy bastards who will be crying because they cant milk every second on the clock. But I agree, 14 hrs a nights/5 days a way is absolutely ridiculous.
 
Catchtherabbit, definetly very much like all your questions!! Especially #1! I do get that working 14 hours a day gets old after awhile, but I'm ok with it because of the money I earn. I'm just bitter because I'm getting forced onto days starting Monday after I've been working nights for way too many years now! So I guess I'm saying I don't mind the 14 hour nights, but I understand your point. But yes, your #1 question, can anybody please let us know what the ---- is going on!
 
How long until all dock work is done by dock hands ?

How long until all vehicle maintenance is third party ?

How long until you close unprofitable terminals ?

How long until you start eliminating unproductive employees ?


Pretty much. I just wanna know how long we have until the ::shit:: hits the fan for real.

I will pass these on see what answers he gets.
 
A lot of us would like to know what the hell is going on and what the near future holds. Right now they're testing the waters, to see just how close to the bone they can cut everything and still make it work. Some terminals have been told to cut their supplies way back. I know one terminal in particular that has been trying to order a flood light bulb for one of the dock doors for over 2 weeks now. At our barn, the scm is buying the coffee out of his own pocket. And many of us can't plug our tractors in over the weekends because the power supply at our parking spot is either broken or missing. There are cutbacks everywhere that we're noticing and different barns have different needs for various reasons. I'm sure they would probably like to be able to wait a while to reassess manpower and operations but I'm afraid another round of layoffs is just around the corner. Hate like hell to see guys lose their jobs this time of year. I really hope things improve soon for all of us. This stagnant economy and an election year certainly doesn't help.

Yes we would really like to know what is going on!! Don't really want to leave but how you suppose to survive working part time hours at a full time job, with 4 hungry mouths to feed. Dock workers at our barn getting 8+ hours a day, but they struggle to give me 4 hours last couple of days. At least I have a interview with a different job tomorrow!
 
jacobs is cutting the fat and streamlining as much as possible, looks like he doesnt want to stick any money into the LTL by the way their cutting back on supplies and putting XPO stickers the size of mailbox letters on the conway tractors. if he was in for the long haul you would see the entire conway logos covered on the tractors. just doing stuff as minimal as possible to keep the workforce water calm as possible. as every quarter passes by he will avoid spending as much as possible and make the LTL books look good for potential buyers. i've seen this before as an employee, fasten your seat belt.
