i have been laid off since oct and most everyone at my hog terminal is going to the bank each week with a brinks truck hauling their pay check. of course there are a few good ones that still work there that dont think its right to get 60+ hours when there are so many on layoff still, but they are the minority. most non-union carriers out here kept all their drivers through the econonic downturn. they did it by asking if guys could take an extra day off to let some lessor senior guy get enough hours to feed his family. a real "team" effort if you ask me. may be the next vote for the IBT should be for a name change. I would suggest the new name could be the IBGM. international bullshit group of meesters. or maybe they could call themselves the OOHC, the out of hours club. thanks to all the hogs at my terminal and a special thanks has to go out to a real piece of :: tm for his concern for me and all my other laid off brothers. with that kind of "me" first mentallity and lack of good management decisions, ABF is sure to follow in yellows footsteps, failure :TR10driving03:
