More rumors!!!
Rumors run amuck, until anything is "officially" announced its just that...a rumor. We were told (off the record) of the change of operations just weeks ago and it wasn't officially announced until Friday, up until then it was just a rumor.It seems like swamp mentioned what this thread was started about, months ago as you shot him down just proves you don't know what your talking about or your out of the loop.

It's no different than the Rockhill rumor, until anything is officially announced, it's just that....a rumor.
Also let me add, just because "someone" mentioned that FedEx has purchased land in Rockhill (which is public record) doesn't necessarily mean it's FedEx Freight, it could be for Express, Ground, Custom Critical, or even land for a new Smart Post....until it's officially announced, who really knows?
Sorry you're a little slow today, I'll try to type slower for you....

Yes to two of the above.One has land,one is looking.Why not get twice the tax breaks..One is approximately two years down the road,the other i have no idea..Rumors run amuck, until anything is "officially" announced its just that...a rumor. We were told (off the record) of the change of operations just weeks ago and it wasn't officially announced until Friday, up until then it was just a rumor.
It's no different than the Rockhill rumor, until anything is officially announced, it's just that....a rumor.
Also let me add, just because "someone" mentioned that FedEx has purchased land in Rockhill (which is public record) doesn't necessarily mean it's FedEx Freight, it could be for Express, Ground, Custom Critical, or even land for a new Smart Post....until it's officially announced, who really knows?
out of the loop on this one??More rumors!!!
No, actually more in the loop than you realize but now is not the time or place to discuss this rumor.....when the time is appropriate, perhaps then we can start a new thread.out of the loop on this one??
Aw Swamp, I was just jabbing ya!!Funny Red, but I didn't think I was THAT slow....
Look at it this way Red, the way I hear it: (GSP loses runs)
If all these "regional" locations are going to run into GSP instead of CLT, how can you predict the losing of runs at CLT. Does CLT currently have runs that go to Hickory, Columbia, etc? Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't those locations run into CLT, rather than out of CLT, thus NOT originating in CLT. If they don't originate in CLT, how can CLT lose them? Also any "extra" freight (going beyond the effected locations) is going to go on Purchase trailers anyway. What difference does is make to you whether those Purchase trailers are loaded in GSP or CLT? Might even be a CLT driver loading them. Imagine that. Note:17% of the TOTAL budget goes to purchase transportation.
Just a questions, Red. I told you I won't be studying freight flow patterns (at my pay scale). That, and the fact that I don't really care all that much about this, still stands.
Along with you, I'm no freight flow specialist either (nor can I predict the future) but I have been domiciled at a hub for the last 20 years and I do have common sense...changes in freight flow will be made, otherwise they wouldn't have announced a change in operations.....and I do care.
keep looking over the bosses shoulder and let us know.No, actually more in the loop than you realize but now is not the time or place to discuss this rumor.....when the time is appropriate, perhaps then we can start a new thread.
greenville spartanburg and charlotte.what is GSP and CLT?
CLT will lose one Pocono meet and one Hagerstown meet while gaining a Youngstown meet and a Richmond hub turn for a net gain in mileage, so much for the doom and gloom.... As Swamp predicted the losers in this are the GSP road drivers.
Way to much seniority for me to get cut....trust me, if I get cut its because they closed the doors.So Red you the one that will be cut on the one run???
1) That is correct.Fair enough Red, but we still (supposedly) don't know the exact details, right?
But Red, need I remind you? Whatever is BEST for the Company, is all any of us should want, Right?
What's a little sacrifice, for the greater good?
Some of us sacrifice, through lower than market wages, others sacrifice through uncertainty via that flexibility the company "must have" in order to compete.
Don't we just need to do our jobs, and let the experts figure out these things? After all we're just truck drivers...
*Truth is this was a far more palatable way for them do change the freight flow, while appeasing the legal dept, in regards to the effect on the represented bargaining unit (CLT drivers). Care to bet on the accuracy of that?
1) That is correct.
2) & 3) No need to remind me, what's best for the company usually ends up being best for us too...we're all in this together.
4) Small sacrifices in order for the company to thrive is a win win for everybody!!
5) Again, I will agree (man, you're on a roll today!! ) Most drivers are drivers for a reason...we're experts in "our" field and they're experts in "their" field, together, we all make the wheel go round.
6) I'll not take that bet because IMO you're spot on!!
Maybe you ARE smarter than the average bear!!
Way to much seniority for me to get cut....trust me, if I get cut its because they closed the doors.
Seniority won't save your run if they decide to do away with it. How many run your meet every day?
