Old Dominion Freight Line Inc. Announces New White Glove Delivery Service
This will mean more work/jobs.
This will mean more work/jobs.
It wont mean more jobs. It will mean get that 500 lb box up those 20 residential steps by yourself driver. Getting too old for this ::.
I think it would mean a P&D driver would have help for a day!!!!!!!!
White Glove=Helper....
while are semi is out front blocking off the street...lolYou could really get into some trouble starting a rumor like that hahaha. Can you just imagine going into a cat **** smell house putting together a treadmill? It would be the biggest halfass job to get out there quick enough. The treadmill would be running in reverse by the time I got done with it.
I asked the midwest VP(Mike W.) at our wage meeting today. He said you may pick up a skid that is marked for white glove service but on the delivery end it will go do an outside agent we have contracted with. OD drivers will not be doing the white glove delivery. We wont be doing any unpacking and cleanup or anything.
I'm a do all...the most hated person in the OD family...A COMBO Driver:poster_oops:..I didn't sign up for it either but in these times I am just happy to have a job. Even if it deos mean a little more sweat.:TR10driving03:Send a helper with a P/D driver?? You must be a line driver.
I never signed on to be an installer or mover.
Heck i really like our combo guy not only is he a pretty decent human,vacations would be a pretty big problem without him being here to cover.I have no real insight on what OD's business plan is for this service but there are other companies doing this service around here for companies like Sears,Best Buy,and similar companies,most of these outfits contracted home delivery quite some time ago,one thing most of the logistic companies all seem to do is they employ contractors,usually on some lease-purchase scheme,some furnish your helper which in turn comes out of your settlement, kind of reminds me of the FedEx ground model;They tell you what kind of truck you're gonna drive,what uniform to wear,even who your help is,and how much money your gonna make,and call them "Independent Contractors". I hope OD has a different plan for this service there's already plenty of companies taking advantage of these poor guys.I'm a do all...the most hated person in the OD family...A COMBO Driver:poster_oops:..I didn't sign up for it either but in these times I am just happy to have a job.
