teams?

[pink pony]

Is there any truth to team trucks being prepped in dal? IF there are it answers questions that exist about runs being cancelled because if they can find ways to run the freight cheaper and faster without empty miles theyre gonna do it. also if the team thing is really gonna happen then one has to ask themself where that puts them as far as systemwide cuts and transfers.. let us know if you have any info thanks

I haven't seen any in DAL, but I was told to stay away from the shop due to my attitude

thanks for the update... I wanted to make sure there wasnt any truth to that rumor because this bid has created enough havoc without fedex juicing it up even more....

RC thinks anyone 86'd from anything at FredEx Freight because of attitude should be made an honorary member of the Richard Cranium Society.

I still don't understand why the former Watkins/National drivers are so eager to run teams??? Someone please explain???

Um, not being one, RC can only guess. Might get to drive something besides a forklift?
Or just get to drive?

RC, ST is thinking that the W/N guys are dreaming of the old days. Would running teams work the "old way"? or the "new way"? Imagine driving team from point A to B, working the dock at each end and getting paid a combination of task, mileage and hourly with no overtime??? And you get the privilige of sleeping in the truck and showering in the fungus infected showers at the truckstop. Sounds like the W/N way??? I'm guessing point A is LA and point B is Fresno. As the old adage goes: "Be careful what you wish for."

Last pontification, lest I behave like Rat the Redshirt: "People cling to the past out of fear that all the best times of their life are behind them".<<<Some guy named ST.

And sometimes that fear is valid.

i was only with national for only a short while but from what i understand the drivers teamed for the money and i think they had a shorter work week. maybe someone else who teamed can answer this question better than me..

What thread are you reading, ST? I don't see anyone yearning for the old teaming days in this thread. Maybe I need to re read it.
