I have been layed off since January. Yesterday 6-26-09, I spoke to one of my dispatchers in 120 and I was told that they have a lot of timekeepers that they are not able to meet, yet they are not calling back drivers. Today I saw a RAC tractor pulling an ABF pup. WTF!!!

I hear you driver. I'm laid off as well. At 042, dispatch is breaking bids to move freight and exhausting the extra board and running out of drivers and then say ''were out of drivers" but only call back a hand full driver's. Who knows what they think? I would think letting freight sit that doesn't get to the customer when it is supposed too, would be a bad thing. If I was the customer I would find some other carrier to get the job done.

been off since oct.only thing there doing for me is f,,ng up my unemployment! 065

SCH had sales rep with with over 15 yrs in with ABF leave to go with 3PL.
BED Ternminal Manager up and quit last and left the industry. almost 20 years with ABF.
STL Terminal Manager, rising star in company left earlier this year.
WHO KNOWS who else has left or was forced out???
ABF does not care about it's people or the customer!

You sure can tell the 'Ol Man' (Young)ain't running the show anymore. Just a bunch of patting themselves on their backs, Bean Counters.
