I am a PHL City driver.
Ward is doing fine considering how slow it is.
We Laid Off about 5 to 6 drivers, 2 or 3 drivers took voluntary 1 or 2 week layoffs recently. We lost some money in November, probably will lose in December when accounting reports in.
We did not get our Xmas bonus, $100 or $200 depending on Time in sevice, we will not get a COLA for 2009.
No one tried to buy us, the company is not for sale.
I have been there over 3 years, I am near the bottom of the list, but have worked every single day at least 11 hours M to Friday.
We are really hustling some freight, the city drivers and dock crew are very proud of our sucesses, but it has been tough.
Ed Warters is the big terminal Boss.
Bob Mead is operations.
They are keeping us running with the minimum possible personnel. It is working OK right now..but if we get one busy day or week, we could get behind real fast.
One sad note: there was a bad accident recently..we are waiting to see what happens with that. Thats all i will mention about that.
Ward will be just fine in 09..happy new years
