What do you Love about working here? What do you Hate about working here?

[Richard Herbert]

I appreciate you Sapper, and Bullwagon!!! I am just stating the facts about the company as it is!!! I am not trying to get to anybody, just voicing my frustrations!!!

The best thing management could do, it read the comments here, and take actions to correct their mistakes,and improve morale...It probably won't happen, because they don't believe they have done anything wrong, its the overpaid drivers that aren't productive enough and meeting company standards...

I wish they could see the cliff they are about to run the company over, but they seem to keep doubling down on STUPID!!![

I will continue to work hard, and treat the customers the best I can, as I always have, but continue to be is disbelief at the directon of the company!!!QUOTE=sapper;1069041]Richard, you might be a little rough around the edges on some of your posts, but I think you're still pretty much preaching to the choir. Can I have a HELL YEA?

Keep posting, you're getting to some people... [/QUOTE]

This is a good company to start with and gain some experience and then move on to a better company with. I would not plan on staying here for a very long time. You will not get compensated very well and you will get over worked with little pay (the “new” pay scale that wasn’t going to last for long that started in 08). So if you are starting out new go ahead and do it, if you are experienced and are looking for a new home turn around and go the other way. Management is horrible, all the way from the top to the bottom, retaliation at the local level with directors and TM’s sweeping everything under the rug.

That I have a lift Gate and I almost never have to hand anything down. The other when you have a dirt bag working at your Term. They seem to never want to fire them. They keep the problem child around. And that cancer just infects the whole Term.

This Combo BS has cause so much problems for are Term. We get guy's who come on. And they do not tune in what they will make. When they understand what they make. And are doing P&D day in and day out. 45-50hr a week. And make so much less then I and the other P&D drivers make. All we hear is This BS this that. I look at them and say I feel for you. But you took the job.The pay scale is a joke for those who are hired.

It is a joke; it has caused a major divide between the employees at this company. It pits each other against each other.

Well here it is being Thursday and I only have 7 1/2 FRICKIN HOURS this week!!!!!!!!!!! I'm over it!!! Every week since Jan I have been screwed hours and pulled off my run that I bid on and won 5 years ago. Working people by seniority instead of spreading the hours to help everyone is BS! There is NO team work at least at my terminal except drivers helping drivers. I have already blown through my savings covering my piss poor pay this year, had to skip going anywhere with my family for vacation and now I'm hitting the pawn shop to avoid foreclosure. I am searching for a new company and R&L will be losing a dedicated proud employee. Thanks to you Zimmerman

Yeah Zimmerman really has done a number on the place, he is worthless, and the worst decision that Senior ever made,was hiring this LOSER... ...!!! Knoxville terminal is pathetic, and Wilmington dosen't give a damn... ALL the management there is PATHETIC...They all need to be replaced, mainly Dwight, and Jeff H.THERE IS NO LEADERSHIP IN KNOXVILLE!!!They go out of their way to make it hard on the drivers, and they could give a **** less about their customers .. The morale has hit rock bottom, and don't be surprised by a big layoff in Knoxville...They don't give care about you and your 7 1/2 hours, because they are HEARTLESS, WORTHLESS SOB'S, that only care about themselves....Why in the hell work you half a day this week, and bunches of drivers are getting 55-6- hours this week...NO MANAGEMENT, AND NO LEADERSHIP!!!Do yourself a favor my friend, and get yourself a real job, this place is a deadend, not only for the guys at the bottom of seniority, but everyone will soon be affected at this terminal...Thank you MR. Zimmerman for basically DESTROYING our company!!!
