What have you heard?

[boomerang]

We need to keep each other up to date on things we hear about the impending changes. What are their plans for Tn. service centers? Nas. shop-closing??? How many Ms. terminals will survive? Do they really intend to make most csc's "live" again? Atl., Bhm., Mon. How about it? Any gossip?? Are your s.c. mgrs. excited? How has this news affected morale? What kind of reaction have any of you guy's recieved when customers on your route heard the news? Have they ever even heard of them? In less than a month, a completely different corporate office will be orchestrating operations for us. I really do hope and pray they know how to grow and improve customer service in what is a brand new area for them. That is where we come into play. I say, we should give it all we have. Just like before and then some. It is our future at stake!!

Boomer it looks like your not going to get much help on this forum so I'll tell you what I've told. By the way I work for Holland and a few of our evening guys work at Vitran in the morning. They have told me all Milan men will have to reapply and will be new hires since this was a buy-out. I know a lot of the old timers at the home terminal in Milan that make the most money. I can't imagine what they are feeling.

You just had to deliver the bad news, I didn't reply because I was hoping that Vitran reconsidered their decision.

All things considered, I feel very lucky today. A job. Insurance. Vacation. Holidays. Home everyday/night. Off every weekend. I just hope it stays that way.

Now you can sleep better.

Since the shock and awe wore off, I have been sleeping just fine thank you very much!
