I've been just reading posts for a couple of months now just trying to keep up with other barns and try to judge what"s next for ours. This is my first post, I just couldn"t hold it in anymore. I was taken off the payroll last week along with another driver and some office help. It was by seniority. I have seen several great guys let go over the last year while old, unproductive, argumentative, senior people don't even know that there is a recession going on. The bottom half of the guys have to change shifts, stay home, babysit the phone while others do what they want when they want. Is it the same everywhere or is it up to the t/m to even out hours so more people can work? The senior people sure won't volunteer to lose a couple of hours. I did like working for OD and may get called back. I'm not as bitter as I may sound, just had to get it off my chest. The top few drivers act like this is a union company and they will always be protected by seniority regardless of accidents, attitude, production or age. Is this company wide? Someone please respond.
