our regional mgr was in a conference call/ metting almost all day the other day mmmmmmm wonder whats going on
also talked top a driver out of xml and he said they are bringing in a lot of equipment into thier barn but nobody is talking
my thoughts just from what i have heard
70 hr logs
lay down runs
7 day week operation
having owner/op to run line haul runs like fedex |
You need to relax dude! 70 hour logs work well. They may do a few laydowns but they got away from that because of the money savings. Why would they start spending that kind of money again especially in this economy? Other than a few weekend runs, customers are closed on the weekends and there is not enough freight generated by a few weekend pickups to justify a full crew six days let alone seven. Usually the weekend runs are from freight left over from Friday night. With the two hour back off there are a lot of drivers that run short on hours and can't make runs hence, Saturday work. FedEx freight doesn't run owner operators. If anything, we will throw freight on Truckload and move it on down the highway.
I don't know if you are serious with this post or just trying to start something. If you are just trying to work people up, please don't. If you are serious, well, you need to sit back and think about what you are saying before you say it. JMO.
