this is my first post. I hope it comes through.
I hired on at Estes over ten years ago, mainly because, at that time, we could choose what kind of job we wanted; city, extra, green board, hub, meet & turns, etc.
At my terminal, at least, green board has been eliminated, meet & turns are shrinking to nothing & being replaced by hub & so-called utility runs.
I understand the need to change with the times, but are we becoming dock-workers with a CDL, like Con-Way, Fed-Ex, etc? If so i do not want any part of it. I really thought i would retire from here, but i have doubts that i can make it 2 or 3 more years on the extra board.
I apologize for being such a downer.
