Pay Cut

[Cntstop]

Remember, Our pay cut starts Monday 3/16/09, also had more layoffs Friday.
Easy passes started acting up this past
week. Trucks are not up to par, safety is
is not the way it should be.

I see a lot of doubles on thruway.

Some of those LAXNE doubles you see have very little freight in them or could be empty. Freight is very slow at all terminals right now.There were more Layoffs this past Friday, in all phases, office, dock and drivers.

yea easy passes are reading low balance and we have some tractors pushing 25k to 30k in between oil changes (pm service) not to mention the # of tractors out of service. It's going to get interesting in the near future.

[UnionTrucka]

just curious, what was the original rate pr hr ? and what is the new rate ?

[haryhood]

it depends on terminal but any where between 12 and 20

I was told they closed that terminal last week.

NO the Woodbridge term is open, at least we're still picking up for that point, and line hauls are in route each night. It's just a rumor going around right now.
