    we had a short meeting about it recently. more brand new tractors, brand new pups (no road or city vans), new uniform policy & less uniform choices (and more money to order uniforms with. i think we are headed to a look similar to fedex freight), new hand carts company wide, and pallet jack wheel chocks (the rectangular ones that fit just the back wheels of the jack). i believe the TM said we are spending $400,000 on the hand carts and pallet jack stoppers alone, which to me, seems like a waste... we need new pallet jacks before we need something to bother stopping them with, especially when we have ways of keeping them in place already... I'd rather have the money, than the new equipment, personally.

    I guess no one told the company the cheapest pallet jack stopper of them all is.......an empty pallet wedged between the steer wheels and the wall of the trailer. Either way it's nice to finally see them investing in their own company again. Maybe they will also invest in fixing the walls of some of the pups.

    We recently had a JKN city van get destroyed due to this. was being loaded by a customer with heavy freight, and a capable forklift. it either broke the van in half, or broke the floor out of the bottom (i don't which, i didn't see the pictures). i bet the operator on that lift just about ****...
