Well if I got THINNED OUT for speaking the truth so be it, but what can you do at this company with them changing things so much, cancelling Linehaul runs, turning runs from Linehaul to Hub, Hub to Linehaul(that hardly ever happens but have heard of it) When I started here we had mostly Linehaul, now it is so mixed up with all these categories how the hell you suppose to know what to do to keep a job or have something better down the road, if I would have known the changes coming I would have done other things years back like probably got the hell out of this mixed up Road side of this company and been a City Driver, they are never affected by Categories.
They have gotten to Big and in LTL if you want to compete you have to make changes, so just wish I knew what was coming down the road for where I am at. You just never know anymore. The first 7 years here I thought I did, but the last 4 have been a roller coaster ride.
As far as you guys that love to say DONT CHANGE CATEGORIES, well what are you gonna do when the Company seems to change, I almost lost this job back when they let all us Linehaul guys go, so hey I made a change, I can get back my Linehaul now that at the first of the year I had to go back to a Linehaul start on Tues,,, the wife has told me to quit this job more then a couple of times, but she does not understand this industry, I have been here almost to long to leave, going somewhere now being in my 40's is taking one hell of chance also.
I don't know I guess, I'll just keep on Trucking try to keep a smile on my face and wave to all those guys that made the right choice by going into the right Category.
